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.

6 years ago, I was diagnosed with depression and anxiety/social anxiety. It’s been a long, at many times, lonely journey. I want to be able to connect to people and provide support for those with similar experience.

/// Please send me personal request or personal message while I am away, I will get back to you as soon as I can. \\\ Hi there, I am NS and I am a verified listener on 7cups since 2020, if you are feeling low, if you are in pain and you want to rant out and need someone to hear you out, you can talk to me.  This is a safe place, I don't judge, I don't give advice, whatever happens between us stays between us, you can let yourself out, and I'll listen to you. I personally have gone through many issues alone when I didn't want to because I didn't have anyone, I try to be a person who I could have relied on when I went through my dark episodes in life, and I want to help you in the same way by being someone whom you can rely upon with your deepest and darkest problems. I know how it feels when life seems to be going in a downward spiral, but I can reassure you that while things may not seem fine, they will be better in long term. Its hard going through the hurdles of life alone, when faced with tough times, you don't have to go through it alone, you can rely on me, on us. Being a listener, don't hesitate to approach me if you want to talk about any topic you'd like. We can talk about anything you are going through to anything you are passionate about. Everyone is welcomed here, even listeners who might be going through something they wanna rant or discuss about but make sure to use your member account for that. I prioritize comfort, boundaries and listening above everything, if you do have any topics or any boundaries you feel uncomfortable discussing, let me know. I'll make sure not to cross any of them.  A note to myself and others who might be going through their own problems: You are a human, a flawed one. You make mistakes like everyone does, you aren't different from others. We all are different, all our problems are different but no matter how small they seem in your eyes, they are valid nonetheless. Happiness and Suffering and two sides of same coin called life. There will be times so tough you want to give up, and there will be times where you cannot contain your happiness. No matter how tough life seems right now, don't give up. You are valid. Your problems are valid. Your experiences are valid. Don't let people who say otherwise, influence you into thinking you are worthless, because most of the times, its self projection. Talk to me, ill listen. Don't let your negative self influence you into thinking everything's worthless and there's no point in talking about it, at a cosmos level, nothing really matters. But right now, in the moment, you are living, you are experiencing, so it does matter, at least right now. Its going to be alright, even if it doesn't in the moment feels so, let talk and open up and try to make things alright. pfp by wooma from shama- Shama - Utattemita/Miyashita Yuu - YouTube [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xpuyx_Y_Hw0] PS- I like to give huge and tight hugs, ill give you too, as much as you want :p​
