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.

Hey, I'm Justin. I've been on this site for a while now. I know how painful life can be and I know what it brings. I myself have been through some rough times but I've never let that stop me. You see, I'm a firm believer. What do I believe in? I believe in life, in the human condition. I believe that we are all here for a reason. That we aren't without purpose. I believe that to live life you must live all of it, not just the tidbits of pleasure and happiness. Sometimes life isn't fair. Sometimes we find ourselves in the darkest corners, far away from the light. Perhaps it's the case that we can create our own light. That we can find a way through the troubles of life together. I cannot claim to be able to help everyone. However, I can claim this. I will do all that I can to help you. It would be my pleasure to bring you peace and hope to your life. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sometimes I may be unavailable to chat. If this is the case I do apologize, I can tell you however that if you allow me the time and your patience that I will get back to you and we will make something work. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- About Me: I'm Justin. I'm 28 years old and I'm originally from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Currently I am living in North Carolina though. Outside of my life as a listener I am a college student, a writer, and many other things. The thing I enjoy most in life is meeting people. It brings me great pleasure and happiness to socialize with people. I like to learn about the different ways that people live. It gives me structure for my perspective. I find that the more people I meet, the more I understand the bigger picture of our existence. Outside of that, I enjoy writing which I previously mentioned, playing video games, and television. I watch quite a few series on Netflix, Showtime, Starz, HBO, you name it. TV is one of my passions. As a person, I try to live a life without judgments. It can be hard sometimes but I consider myself to be fairly open. I've never been too great at describing or introducing myself though, I try to let my interactions with people dictate to them who I am. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I hope that you have enjoyed my profile. If you would like to talk about anything at all, please don't hesitate to message me. As always, stay well.

Head of Content and Product Team Member  I am unfortunately unable to take member chats at this moment. I strongly believe in psychology - as a psychology student - I view our Psyches/psychology to be a key for all success in life. I believe that soulfully, we are all butterflies - we suffer from trials and misfortunes, and bit by bit, we are purified by our sufferings, until we are able to soar like a great butterfly. But the greatest thing amongst the chaos of this world, is that we can unite in the face of darkness in order to grasp the light. Conquer your life today, and reach out whenever needed! 🦋I am a verified, trained active listener with experience on several leadership teams here. I believe in the power of listening and motivating one another for success. Apart from my work here, I am a bookworm, poet, and lifelong learner. I enjoy advocating mental health and have leadership experience and training. 🦋 My journey at 7 Cups started as an intern. I graduated my internship here with honors, and put together a project on Social Media Depression (link found at the end of my bio). 🦋 My current roles include being the Programs Coordinator - I oversee the Content Volunteer Team and the Translations Project. I also enjoy being a Peer Supporter, Moderator/Room Supporter, as well as a forum-worm). 🦋 In the past, I have loved being the CML for the Veterans and Military Support Community and the Family and Caregivers Support Community as well. I have worked with great teams including the 35+ and 50+ subcommunities, and have been a discussion writer and feed team member as well. 🦋 I have not been raised or born in Pakistan and am only just recently adjusting to the culture/norms associated with the country. My first and primary language is English and I am not fluent enough in Urdu. Kindly respect that. 🦋If you are interested in learning more about the Community Projects and the Honors project, discussed above, please click the links below. Thank you!

Tempo di salutarsi !!!!! Vorrei salutarvi con questa bellissima canzone di Andrea Bocelli, Con te partirò https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ohXI3po8hK0 È difficile lasciare qualcosa che ami fare e vorrei dire che 7 cups era come una parte della mia vita, ma oggi lascerò questo forum per un bel po' di tempo. Ho trascorso così tanti anni qui e ho fatto del mio meglio per aiutare le persone il più possibile. A volte ci sono riuscito ea volte ho imparato una lezione. La vita ti dà sempre nuove lezioni, quindi sì, imparale al momento giusto, altrimenti dovrai pagare molto. Questa è la mia esperienza e prospettiva. Per tutte quelle persone che vogliono chiedere aiuto, qui puoi trovare molti grandi ascoltatori, quindi sì, vai da loro e non aver paura. Sono qui per aiutarti, quindi abbi fiducia in te stesso. Cerca di trovare un buon ascoltatore adatto a te. Tutti sono qui per ascoltarti, quindi non perdere la fede. Inoltre, non ho intenzione di rinunciare a questa cosa. Sarò sempre tra le persone che cercano di aiutare secondo la mia natura. Le persone non mi riconosceranno, ma farò del mio meglio per creare una differenza nella vita delle persone come ho sempre fatto o provato. Ultimo ma non meno importante, il mio profilo sarà qui come rappresentazione simbolica del mio lavoro. Non ero il miglior ascoltatore, ma voglio dire che ho fatto del mio meglio per creare la differenza e per imparare dalle esperienze delle persone e infatti l'ho fatto. Voglio augurare buona fortuna agli ascoltatori ea tutti coloro che stanno leggendo il mio profilo o cercando qualcuno. Ricordami nei tuoi desideri. Grazie molte. Saluti, Imran ********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************* Sono un ascoltatore preparato e mi piace supportare le persone alle prese con stress da lavoro, problemi familiari, depressione, ansia di diverso tipo e problemi di tipo simile. Mi piace leggere libri, guardare film e fare cose creative come scrivere blog e storie bla bla. La mia filosofia di assistere le persone è molto semplice e vorrei usare le parole di "Chuck Palahniuk", dice che "L'irreale è più potente del reale. Perché niente è perfetto come puoi immaginarlo. Perché è solo idee intangibili, concetti, credenze, fantasie che durano. La pietra si sgretola. Il legno marcisce. Le persone, beh, muoiono. Ma le cose fragili come un pensiero, un sogno, una leggenda, possono andare avanti all'infinito. Se puoi cambiare il il modo in cui le persone pensano. Il modo in cui vedono se stesse. Il modo in cui vedono il mondo. Puoi cambiare il modo in cui le persone vivono le loro vite. Questa è l'unica cosa duratura che puoi creare. " Inoltre, ho intenzione di lanciare una ONG legata alla gestione dei disastri e spero di ottenere una motivazione da tutte le persone, specialmente da coloro che parleranno con me per dare un contributo in questa nobile causa. Se sono online, sentiti libero di avviare una chat e se sono offline, lascia un messaggio. Mi metterò in contatto con te il prima possibile. Ultimo ma non meno importante, vorrei da quelle persone, che parlano con me dei loro problemi, che dedicassero del tempo a scrivere le vostre gentili recensioni su di me perché non solo aiuterà le altre persone a capire la mia natura e inoltre sarà fonte di motivazione e ispirazione anche per me.

Hello ! My name is Gustavo, I`m 39 years old and I`m from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (Although I travelled to a lot of places in the world). I am happy you found me here on 7cupsoftea. I`m a trained active listener and I like to support people who are struggling. If you'd like to talk about serious issues in your life then I'm your guy. However, if you'd like to also talk about trivial matters then I'll lend my ear for that as well. If I am online, please feel free to start a chat and if not you can always send me a message to set up a time for a conversation ! If you find our conversation helped you, you can always reach to me in the future :) The only  topics I`m not comfortable talking about are  "pronouns", and raising children  based on their prefered gender. I respect your feelings and I think they`re valid but please don`t msg me to talk about that, thanks.

If you request a chat, you'll need to state your purpose.  I ONLY take chats from those working on recovery from eating disorders and trauma (with PTSD & Dissociation) and those making decision on college and careers.   I am not available to chat real-time any longer, but we can message back and forth.  I spend most of my support time in the Eating Disorder community due to my time limitations of committing to long-term chats.  https://www.7cups.com/forum/eds/ [https://www.7cups.com/forum/eds/].  I love life.  I enjoy helping.  My focus is recovery from abuse and sexual trauma, eating disorders and dissociation.  I have interests in university internships and career development.  I am a Christian and that gives me strength. If you are wanting faith-based support, please let me know. I know that for some individuals, Christians have been very hurtful. If you are not a Christian, I'm not here to judge or impose my spiritual beliefs - I'm here to listen. I will not talk to you about God unless you ask to talk about faith.  I do not take theological chats. https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/converter.html?p1=179 - Time Zone Converter:  Eastern Time is New York time.
