Need to talk to someone?

More Filters

It can sometimes be difficult to find support from family members, friends, or like minded people. While you might have a best friend or a support system and network such as groups on social media, you might want to seek support without any social interaction.

Our listeners provide emotional support through active listening. Active listening helps process your emotional distress. The following page can be filtered to seek listeners who provide long-term help and support. You can also browse listeners according to your preferred language as well as for different topics amongst other filters.

7 Cups is a chat site/app that has different options to find a good listener. You can meet new people and text chat with other individuals going through tough times - you are not alone! Everyone goes through a hard time at some point in their lives and we are here for you. Whether you are facing relationship problems, panic attacks, struggling with substance abuse, loneliness, depression, anxiety, or any other mental health issue, our site/app is a safe space based on confidential, anonymous support.

A good idea is to consider what form of support you would like in the first place - we have plenty of options to explore and one of the best ways is to give them a try to find out what works for you. We understand that different people have different needs and preferences. All these support services are appropriate for different situations.

This page can help you seek a trained active listener to talk to through 1-on-1 conversations. These listeners come from different walks of life and all are ready to offer a compassionate listening ear to people who would like to talk to someone else. You can select their username to view their detailed profile page with their shared bio and other information such as whether they have lived experience of mental health conditions or topics, their reviews, as well as their training and other badges. While our listeners do not provide direct advice, their support can help you vent your feelings and concerns in a safe space and you can work together to figure out healthy coping tools.

Listener conversations can vary in duration according to your listener's and your personal availability. Some listeners have the option to schedule chats with them in advance. You can always browse for listeners and leave them a message so that they can get back to you with their availability.

There are several other ways you can find someone to talk to at 7 Cups. These include the group chats and subcommunities. We are glad you are taking the first step towards support!

Our group chat rooms are online chat rooms that serve as different support groups where you can send text messages 24/7. We are a global community with people from all over the world. Some chat rooms include the Sharing Circle room, which is a non-judgemental safe space based on the traditions of AA and similar support groups. This space can prove helpful if you need a group of people to talk to who can listen and get to know you over a long time. Sharing your feelings and experiences as well as listening to those of others can help feel supported. You can expand your support network and make online supportive friends and connections!

On the other hand, if you would like to interact with people and talk to someone over forums, we have dedicated subcommunities for over 45+ topics covering a wide range of mental illness support topics through various sub-forums. Our subcommunities provide support, awareness, events, as well as opportunities to participate in light-hearted icebreakers.

Apart from the above mentioned mental health services at 7 Cups, we have affordable therapy options allowing you to seek online therapy for mental health problems with an online therapist, licensed psychologist, and other mental health professionals. This support is affordable as compared to other online and offline services or other options like support through insurance companies. Therapists are also available to talk to throughout the week on working days.

While our community can help support you after you have lost someone else to suicide, 7 Cups is not to be used in the state of active/passive suicidal thoughts - for such cases, please visit helpful resources such as the Samaritans or National Suicide Prevention Lifeline. For a complete list of helpful resources, click here.

If you would like to gain further insight and helpful information about different mental health topics, you can visit our Community Questions and Answers pages, or read our Expert Mental Health News and Advice articles. Other main features you can explore include our self-help guides and growth paths based on treatment protocols available for free!

The bottom line is, you are never alone - 7 Cups is a community aiming to provide compassion on a global scale. There are various ways to talk to someone at 7 Cups. These include 1-on-1 conversations based on active listening and support through trained listeners, group chats with support discussions and Sharing Circles, and the subcommunity forums. Other features that you may find helpful include the growth paths, community questions and answers, as well as expert advice sections.

hello! i'm rrretsuko ! at the moment, i'm working on freshening up my 7 cups account as i have been inactive for a while. please be patient with me as it will take me a while to adjust to being active on the site once more <3 i am a college student with a job, so i currently have a very busy schedule. for this reason, it will take me a while to get my listener account back on track. i have a passion for helping others and i am comfortable with providing support for most topics <3. though i cannot say i've had experience with every subject, i like to try my best with listening to others who need someone to talk to. i love poetry, music, ecology, and traveling :) my availability : green - i am online and accepting chats ! orange - i am online but either busy helping a member or in the support rooms. if you leave a message, i won't reply until i am done helping the member i am listening to at that moment or when i leave the support rooms ! red - i am offline and not responding to any messages at the moment. if you leave a message, i may take awhile to respond depending on how busy i am ! mondays - thursdays : i am typically quite busy on weekdays as i have college classes to attend and work. my availability throughout the day will vary, but i will likely be most active after 5 pm until 9 or 10 pm :) fridays - sundays : i don't have a set schedule for anything during these days, however, they are my designated days for relaxation, studying, and doing whatever else i need to get done. for this reason, availability throughout these days will vary my roles on cups ! : i am refraining from holding any roles as i feel i am not able to fulfill any other responsibilities <3 • verified listener : i have been verified by the community based on my commitment to active listening skills and quality chatting ! i passed a mock chat with a mentor in order to receive this badge :) previous roles: peer appreciation team member, listener check-in host, forum supporter, subcommunity leadership events team member, listener events team member, LDP mentor, project agent, listener verifier team member, teen discussion host, chatroom moderator, safety patrol member, peer supporter, and listener coach chats i do not take ! [please read] : • any flirty or sexual conversations • chats from members who are suicidal or actively self-harming and seeking crisis support as it is against 7 cups guidelines and a big trigger for me. please refer to a hotline here [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_suicide_crisis_lines] instead • roleplaying chats of any sort  • chats from members who treat me disrespectfully • topics on age regression as it can be triggering for me • chats that get too graphic/detailed when describing sexual events side notes ! [please read] : • i do not recommend relying on me for fast replies if you message me out of the blue for an unscheduled chat  • there are chances i may not get back to you in certain circumstances. this most likely means that i am busy and unable to give you support at the time. you can find another listener here [https://www.7cups.com/BrowseListeners/] in the meantime !

(she/they/he) a psych student that knows what it's like to need someone to talk to and hopes to be that person for you when the circle near my profile picture is green, it means I’m available to talk to you now. if you leave me a message and I don't respond this can because I'm busy (orange circle) or because I'm offline (red circle). I'm usually available 10 PM to midnight, Indian Standard Time (GMT + 5:30)
