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.

بسم الله الرحمن الرحیم In the name of Allah, the most gracious, the most merciful ------------------------- ✨I am available for both 💫Personal requests💫 and 💫General requests💫✨ ------------------------- Hello and welcome to my profile.👋 Please read the following before requesting.😊 🌟Nickname: Bright, Future. You can use any, as you are comfortable with. 🌟Experiences: I have experienced mild anxiety and a few panic attacks here and there. Stress was, is, and will be part of my life.  I used to have social anxiety, but, after getting a job, it got much better for me. Emotions were the hardest thing I had to deal with. There is still room for improvement. I am going through loneliness right now, but, I hope that ends soon. 🌟Topic I will try my best to give you the needed support: Depression, Anxiety, Managing Emotions, Relationship stress (only marital or, pre-nikah), Work stress, Parenting, Muslim/Islam-related issues and queries. 🌟Topics I will NOT take at all: LGBTQ+, Sexual health, Alcohol/Drug abuse, Cultural Diversity, Self-harm, Suicidal thoughts, Sexual-abuse, Breakups, Loneliness.  🌟Sessions: Every session is 1 hour and I will remind you towards the end. If you are a repeat chat, we can decide on dates so it is both comfortable for you and me.😊 🌟My availability depends as my schedule is very messed up. I am available from Saturday to Thursday. If you need immediate support, it is best for you to browse [https://www.7cups.com/BrowseListeners/] for listeners. If patience is an option for you, message me and I will get back to you as soon as possible.😊 ------------------------- My extraordinary listener twins: Missed extraordinary listener twins: @fallenAngel19🙂 @bright7cups🙂 ------------------------- My past roles on 7cups: 🌹Trained Active Listener🌹 🌹Verified Listener🌹  🌹Peer Support🌹 🌹Listener Chatroom Supporter🌹 🌹Safety Patrol Team🌹 🌹Chatroom Mentor🌹 ------------------------- 🌟About me: I am not a professional, but, I have been through enough to understand how you feel. I am here to listen, support, and possibly help you feel a bit better. I have experienced school depression, anxiety, and panic attacks. I went through my problems alone. Not a pleasant thing, but, I am very thankful that I made it this far. Every time I was hurt, I gained a piece of experience and that got me to be stronger and fight harder. I know how going through stuff alone, and for people to not understand feels. I am here so you don't have to go through what I went through and hope I can help you. You are no longer alone and the right type of people do care about you.💖 🌟Words of Widom: "Don't compare yourself to others, you are UNIQUE. Don't worry about what others said about you, you are UNIQUE. Don't hesitate to do the right thing even though it might be different, you are UNIQUE. Don't be the next someone others want you to be, be the next best version of YOU. You are amazing the way you are because YOU ARE UNIQUE."💖 ------------------------- "If you can't fly, run. If you can't run, walk. If you can't walk, crawl. But by all means, keep moving forward."💖 -------------------------  I hope I am/can be the person you are looking for, and help you through your hard times😊 Thank you for reading and respecting my boundaries💖
