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.

I am not filtering what MBTI types I support people with, saying you are an X type, doesn't give me an idea of your situation. topics I am not comfortable with and for which I may re-direct you to another listener: self-harm, eating disorder, substance use, OCD, panic attacks, and schizophrenia. it would be helpful for me if you do not reach out to me regarding these topics because I am very limited in my knowledge and/or triggered by these topics. topics I love supporting people with: relationship stress, breakups, general mental health, student life, managing emotions, grief, family stress, depression and anxiety. other topics, that I haven't listed, don't trigger or make me uncomfortable, and I'd be open to listening to you on them. ミ⛧ about me ⛧ミ pronouns: she/her second-year university student studying psychology // infp 9w1 my interests: anime, writing, reading, listening to music, playing keyboard and guitar, tv shows such as this is us, rick and morty, b99, f.r.i.e.n.d.s, parenthood, gilmore girls (paris is my favourite character), and blah blah (basically, the generic stuff) [^^ it's beautiful to love the ordinary ^^] »»————- ♡ ————-«⋅ʚ♡ɞ⋅»————- ♡ ————-«« ‿ʚ˚̣̣̣͙ɞ words that resonate with me ʚ˚̣̣̣͙ɞ‿ "maybe anyone worth knowing is worth knowing for only a short while. maybe anyone worth loving is worth loving inconclusively. and when you look at it that way, it doesn't seem quite so unbearable at all: to allow yourself to love someone with everything you've got - and then to fully and completely let them go." - Heidi Priebe "touching people's lives in a positive way is as close as I can get to an idea of religion." - Keith Haring "but it cannot be a mistake to have cared... it cannot be an error to have tried... it cannot be incorrect to have loved." - Nikki Giovanni »»————- ♡ ————-«⋅ʚ♡ɞ⋅»————- ♡ ————-«« ♡ people people people ♡ @Starmedia & @Mango3 people who have had the most special impact on me @greasemonky 🐳 my whale buddy, somebody who brings out the best in me  @Yukihiko & @DreamTouch my listener twinnies @Starlasky @Sunisshiningandsoareyou @SparkyGizmo @DonaldDraper @whenitsdarklookforstars @mamtasha22 ♡ ————-«⋅ʚ♡ɞ⋅»————- ♡

. . .  if you just say hi, do you really just want a hi back? Something to think about perhaps when approaching a listener for the first time. It is much more helpful for everyone to actually say something that can lead to a good listening experience. I am unable to take on new chats from members right now. Please understand and choose another listener instead. Don't forget to use the filter/search function to find a more suitable listener https://www.7cups.com/BrowseListeners/  "I am glad you have found me here at 7 Cups! I am happy to listen to you on many topics. I have experience in lots of different areas - anxiety, depression, and mental illness, families, and relationships, love, school, college, or work-related problems, financial stress, healthy living, food, and special diets, I can also offer support for chronic pain, illness, and disabilities. I am part of both the adult and the teen listening team, (and yes I can still remember being a teen lol) and I also offer long-term support to those that I can and who are in need. If I am not online then you are welcome to leave me a message -  but please tell me what you want to talk about so we can get off to a flying start. I will get back to you when I am next able, but please bear in mind that I get a lot of messages and I will reply to the most urgent first so if you just say hi, do you really just want a hi back? If you are a teen turning 18 soon then you can apply for one of the Teen Transitioning Team to reach out and support you through the transition from the teen side to the 18+ adult side.  The form is here ~~~> https://bit.ly/7CupsTTM [https://bit.ly/7CupsTTM] If you have any feedback or ideas for the Hobby Zone sub-community then please fill out this form ~~> https://bit.ly/7CupsHZform  At weekends my response will be slower as that is usually my time off from 7Cups, and I may not respond to any PMs or new requests till Monday. I  hope you understand that. We all need time for ourselves to recharge our batteries and relax.  ONE STEP AT A TIME "We all have different-sized footsteps that we leave behind on our journey through life. Sometimes we can change the size of our footsteps, the imprint, the impact, the direction. Sometimes our footsteps land on rock and they do not show, or they land on sand and stay for a while, Other times they get washed away by massive oceans or powerful waves. But each and every footstep is important in so many ways. Ways that we may not even know about. Watch your step, think about your steps, plan your next step, and the rest will follow."  Listening ... one step at a time Quote of Acceptance When we don't accept an undesired event, it becomes Anger, When we accept it, it becomes tolerance. When we don't accept uncertainty, it becomes fear, When we accept it, it becomes an adventure,  When we don't accept other's bad behavior toward us, it becomes hatred, When we accept it, it becomes forgiveness. When we don't accept other's success, it becomes jealousy When we accept it, it becomes an inspiration. Acceptance is the key to handling life well !! Butterflies are a symbol of hope that we can all change from a small brown grub into a beautiful amazing butterfly! One step at a time! "Those who never change their minds, never change anything!" (Winston S. Churchill) "Prepare for the worst, but hope for the best!"  (B. Disraeli) Pearls are a great symbol of the grace we create, for the oyster creates its greatest work of art from an irritant.

🌧️ ON SELF-CARE BREAK STARTING APRIL 2024 UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE 🌊 Hello, I'm CM, short for Cosmic Miracle. You can also call me Cosmic or Miracle if you feel like it. I have experienced many life struggles and have had to emotionally, mentally, and spiritually grow up by myself at 11 years old. I feel like an old soul in my late-30s body. I am here to offer whatever kind of conversations you need: random talks, deep conversations, philosophical discussions, current events, our favourite books and films, and how music affects us... whatever helps you, please let me. Never underestimate the power of conversations. So, what do you want to talk about? I'm waiting :) === Please consider the topics I am open to discussing (listed in a separate section). I get members who have concerns about issues I normally would not be comfortable discussing because: * I have never had that experience ergo I won't be able to help you much; * I am not confident that the experiences I had regarding those issues have made me the ideal person to talk to as it might have affected me negatively and I am still in the process of healing from it; and * I am not trained to handle some specific issues about mental health and you'd be better talking to someone who is I don't turn my back on everyone who wants to talk to me, but please manage your expectations :) In case I am unavailable, so many beautiful lightworkers are willing to listen to you and help you process your thoughts and emotions. You can find them here:  https://www.7cups.com/BrowseListeners/ === Graduated from 7 Cups Internship with honours Graduated from the Content Development and Marketing Program with honours Graduated from the Leadership Development Program with honours === Do you want to appreciate a fellow member or listener?

As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even to the dull and the ignorant; they too have their story. Avoid loud and aggressive persons; they are vexatious to the spirit. If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain or bitter, for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time. Exercise caution in your business affairs, for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals, and everywhere life is full of heroism. Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love; for, in the face of all aridity and disenchantment, it is as perennial as the grass. Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be. And whatever your labours and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace in your soul. With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful. Strive to be happy. = Max Ehrmann <3
