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 am Ethan. I am a biomedical science master's student who is fully ready to whole-heartedly engage with you and listen to whatever is on your mind! LGBTQ+ members are welcome and encourage to reach out. I am not familiar with self-harm or topics surrounding this. If you need immediate assistance, you can call or text 988 in the US or find a provider in your area. Specific sexual topics in nature are not appropriate and I am not willing to discuss these issues. I am not trained in autism or special needs communication. If you are within this category, I can attempt to refer you to the appropriate resources, but I encourage you to reach out to a listener who is more experienced with these discussions.

Almost like that ELO album. I can talk in french, but it isn't the best, so please be patient/Je peux parle en français, mais mon français n'est pas le meilleur, alors avoir le patience avec moi S.T.P. My supported issues ≠ my direct lived experience issues, but the star doesn't show up for app users, but instead, it's just a blank space. Autism and Anxiety fall under direct lived experience, and I still support chatting about those.

Hi I’m Jase if you’d like to chat please message me and I’ll get back to you asap even if I’m offline I check my messages regularly. I live on the south coast of England, with my son and 🐶 I was diagnosed with ASD (autism) when I was 40, also have OCD and recently been diagnosed with ADHD, I have experienced Sleep paralysis throughout my life. I’ve completed a mental health awareness qualification, and have also taken neurodevelopment disorder qualifications, as well as a counselling one also. I have struggled with anxiety all my life but am now in a position, where I feel I’m ready to help others, who are struggling with similar issues. I consider myself to be a kind and decent person, and I just want to help other people, who just may need someone to talk with.  I’m often told that I’m a good listener, which is what has bought me to 7cups, as I feel I have something to give which may help others. I don’t have lived experience with eating disorders or Schizophrenia but I’m happy to listen to anyone that struggles with these issues, and I’ll always do my best to be there for someone that needs a listener.

My name is Maraisa. I identify as a 26 year old, white bisexual cis-woman. I find that some strengths that I hold to high regard in my personality are what I call my therapeutic qualities such as being compassionate, understanding, empathetic, non-judgmental, etc. I am to provide a safe space free of judgement and stigma and try to talk to others and provide emotional support from the perspective of a peer with lived experience of mental health conditions. I have autism and depression and try to use the wisdom gleaned from my experiences to uplift and support you along your mental health journey.

Hello, I’m Teslas Pigeon. Thank you for considering connecting with me . Before we begin, I want to set a foundation that will help us work together effectively. My goal is to support you in any way I can, but I need your commitment that you genuinely want to be helped/heard and are open to trying new solutions. Healing is a process we’ll navigate together—I can’t do it alone for you, and your involvement is crucial. Think of this as a partnership where we work as a team. I can not heal you however I can inspire and support you in self healing of the heart. I'm able to do this because it is a narrow path I have walked myself.  If you’d like to incorporate spiritual contexts into our conversation, please let me know. Otherwise, I’ll assume you’re here to talk without Spiritual focus, and I will respect that. I’ve experienced many challenges in my life, and I’m here because I’ve found ways to overcome them. My hope is that by sharing my knowledge, experiences, and resources, for your consideration that you’ll be able to find healing and one day help others, just as I’m helping you now. I only ask you to understand what has worked for me, is not a guarantee will work for you. Please be aware I do this as a volunteer, I'm not paid to do this. I'm just someone who does not want you to struggle with the same pains I have in the past.   I practice nonviolent communication, a powerful approach taught by Marshall Rosenberg, which I’ve found to be deeply transformative. My areas of experience include Parental Alienation, Parenting PTSD, Autism, relationships, spiritual ministry, and coping with a physical disability that affects one of my five (or six) senses. I’m here to listen, guide, and walk with you on this path. I generally allow you a 5 minute response time prior to attempting to assist another member after my initial message to you.  I look forward to speaking with you and healing one another on this journey together so that you may experience the love, happiness and life you deserve. The one thing I ask is that you leave feedback after we finish our conversation. It goes a long way in encouraging others to reach out. Also negative feedback is better than no feedback, it is the only way I can grow.  Please be aware of the issues I'm willing to discuss below. My unwillingness to discuss an issue is more me knowing I don't have enough experience in that area, than a judgement.  Last but not least I have provided a resource list that I use below. I'm in no way affiliated with any links provided Non Violent Communication https://youtu.be/l7TONauJGfc?si=DAnlbetzS6q8AmwP Spiritual Ciron Last - https://youtu.be/L4dZ2ViC3fk?si=QqvZb_-IhswIsRHO NVC Needs Work Sheet - https://www.nonviolentcommunication.com/resources/handouts-and-learning-materials/ Relaxation Training - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8-_NNCrrdus
