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 Amazing People, I am Comphi.  Believe and Hope for the best. There is lot left to explore. If you have stumbled upon my profile, I believe we might have come across either in chatrooms or in PMs. It was fun to be here and take up many roles and perform them with outmost honesty even though I remain occupied in my work for about 16 hours each day, but nonetheless, it was a nice experience being here. I came online to distract myself from my personal life problems and it worked to a lot of extent. But the truth is, real life is actually real and the struggles we face there cannot be undone and putting our time elsewhere will only increase them.  I took a break, a long one and I realized that I was needed elsewhere more. My personal life needed me more, the duties there demanded my presence more. To cut short, we must give more importance to our personal and professional life because that is something that will help us keep going and with that thought in mind, I decided to leave the platform. To anyone reading this, I wish you best of luck in life and remember, believe and hope for the best. There is lot left to see.   I shall see you around.   Calm II Polite II Patient II Positive II Reflective II  Sublime Confidence of Purest Beliefs  !! Unparallel approach in remaining Non-Judgemental !! Sheer dedication towards attaining Positivity !! To the point conversation, quick and easy II No Advices II Intellectual Beginnings II ------------------------- My Cool Listener Twin😉 : @cristlecares [https://www.7cups.com/@cristlecares]

NOTE: Members --- Feel free to leave messages even when my status bubble is orange (meaning busy) or red (meaning inactive)! I will respond when I can, as soon as possible! Please don't think I forgot about you or ignored you if I don't respond right away. I reply to every message that comes in my inbox whenever I have the chance to!!! :) But in case I am unable to get to you right away and you urgently need help, please Browse Listeners [https://www.7cups.com/BrowseListeners/] or use a Self Help Guide [https://www.7cups.com/supportGuides/selfHelpGuides.php] with these blue links here! And as for my fellow listeners --- If you need resources or help with chatting, please see this link [https://www.7cups.com/forum/ListenerLearningJourney_149/ListenerSupportGuides_1850/ListenerSupportGuidesMasterList_228279/] for the master list of listener resources. *************************************************************************** I am a member of the VERIFIER'S TEAM [https://www.7cups.com/forum/ListenerLearningJourney_149/ListenerVerificationProject_1839/JointheListenerVerifiersTeam_46938/], so fellow listeners --- if you would like to request a mock chat to become Verified, please read this post [https://www.7cups.com/forum/ListenerLearningJourney_149/ListenerVerificationProject_1839/GetVerifiedon7Cups_290064/] thoroughly, check if you meet all the requirements, and message me to schedule a mock chat to try to get recognized for your high-quality active listening and get yourselves that blue Verified check bubble and badge! *************************************************************************** Hello everyone! I am a Verified Listener [https://www.7cups.com/forum/ListenerLearningJourney_149/ListenerVerificationProject_1839/GetVerifiedon7Cups_290064/] here at 7 Cups! My name is Blue, pronouns she/her! (I also like the name Sky; you guys can pick which one you call me.) :D I am a person with a deep compassion and understanding for people and I will not be judgmental towards you for any of your issues. I love listening to people and check in with this site every day, so I will do my best to respond to your messages as quickly as I can. During the weekdays I might be a bit slow to respond, though, because I'm still in school and get overloaded with work a lot. But really, don't feel guilty venting to me—I WANT to be here! :) I have a lot of experience with mental health and listening to people about their struggles, although if your problems are outside of my ability to help (suicide, self harm, sexual harassment/assault, substance abuse, drug addiction, domestic violence, trauma from war, injuries, diseases, etc.), please seek professional help [https://www.7cups.com/crisis/] or paid therapy [https://www.7cups.com/online-therapy/?ob=1] with the resources in these links, as I am not trained or equipped to handle these things as a 17-year-old kid. As much as I would really, truly love to be here for all you guys through anything, I really can't do anything about threats to your safety. Those things should be referred to the authorities or a specialist. But otherwise, I am here for everyone, regardless of race, gender, religion, sexuality, relationship status, familial situation, etc. and feel free to talk to me like you would close friend. You deserve help, love, appreciation, and validation; I will do everything in my power to provide you with support! :) *************************************************************************** A bit about me: My birthday is October 21st (yay Libras!), my personality type is INFJ, and I was born in the Year of the Dog (2006)! My favorite color is blue (you probably guessed, haha), my favorite seasons are fall and summer, and my favorite food is Hawaiian Poké bowl. I'm Chinese-American, proud to be so, and have a lot of experience with managing and appreciating cultural identity. I think I'm somewhere on the ace spectrum [https://asexuality.org/] (probably demisexual and demiromantic), but I don't really care about labels that much, so you can just call me "ace" or "queer" or whatever; I just want to be myself. :) Music is my favorite thing, like, ever; I play flute, viola, sing in a choir, am in a marching band, and love musical theater. I love reading books, particularly YA fantasy, sci-fi, realistic fiction, and LGBTQ+ stories. My top 4...well, technically 5...favorite books are "You've Reached Sam" [https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/53086843-you-ve-reached-sam] by Dustin Thao, "They Both Die At The End" [https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/33385229-they-both-die-at-the-end?ac=1&from_search=true&qid=fst8Sn2mzF&rank=1] by Adam Silvera, "These Violent Delights" [https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/50892212-these-violent-delights] (and its sequel, "Our Violent Ends" [https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/44084762]) by my literal queen Chloe Gong, and "Loveless" [https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/42115981-loveless?ac=1&from_search=true&qid=2kKj6M3VXm&rank=1] by Alice Oseman, which I HIGHLY recommend to everyone because they are just so meaningful and explore human connections so deeply. I write my own stories and draw sometimes, although they really aren't that great at all, haha. When I graduate high school, I want to go to medical school (hopefully, haha) to become a reproductive endocrinologist so I can help families! :) I'm also a huge fan of Marvel, My Hero Academia, Lord of the Rings, Top Gun, Taylor Swift, The Piano Guys, Alan Walker, and '80s / '90s Chinese songs (I get that from my amazing mom, haha)! :D *************************************************************************** APPRECIATE A PERSON ON 7 CUPS WHO HAS GIVEN YOU A GOOD EXPERIENCE HERE [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScsCXyPYjQ4dsfLMh2ZzXC4of1lEutJsSasbkzc6JLDq7b8ow/viewform]! <3 *************************************************************************** MY BEST FRIENDS ON 7 CUPS OF TEA WHO I LOVE AND APPRECIATE WITH ALL MY HEART: @kosikima -- truly a legit angel sent from heaven, so understanding and warm-hearted @mushro0m -- a friend that's such a joy to talk to, always accepting and there for me @amiableBunny4016 -- hardworking and selfless, overcomes obstacles like a warrior @inventiveMango9097 -- so strong and resilient, finds happiness even when it's dark @FaithfulZareia [https://www.7cups.com/@FaithfulZareia] -- the best, sweetest listener I know, always cheers me up when I'm down

I enjoy watching Grey's Anatomy, playing sports and sleeping. After I graduate High School, I will be in college learning/getting my Psychology degree. 🌟 I enjoy helping those who need a safe space and reassurance that they are not alone. I am a bubbly person and super fun to talk to, however, I can be shy at first. I have just recently transitioned over to the adult side, so I apologize if you do not see me often at first. 🌟 However, if you would like to get a feel of how I listen, feel free to check out my reviews. I have been helping and listening on and off cups for about 3 years. I take topics such as Weight Management, Anxiety, Depression, Breakups, PTSD, Eating Disorders, self-esteem, Bullying, and Self-harm. 🌼 ʚ‎‏ ͜ ̩͙ ︵ ̩͙ ୨ ♡ ୧ ̩͙ ‏︵ ̩͙ ͜ ɞ 📖 Quotes 📖 🦋 "You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream" - C.S.

Hello! I chose the picture of an apple because it represents to me growth and potential. The apple can grow to become the best apple it can be. I think we all have potential, and I also believe that most people are not solely good or bad- we are a combination of light and dark. That's just human nature. I've been here since 2013, and I am now in my 30s. I have always been told I'm a good listener and person to come to. People have come to me years after talking to them because they remembered I was someone to confide in. I like to think of myself as open minded, non judgmental, and compassionate. I try to be honest, but tactfully so. I find the best people in my life are those that tell me what I need to hear, not what I want to hear, and that is something I practice with others. I hope to be here for you, and I will cheerlead you on. I cannot give advice, but I will be a support for you. I take casual chats, so even if you're just bored or need someone to talk to and don't have a pressing issue, I am happy to talk to you.  My strengths lie in the subjects I have listed on my profile, so I will not be the best fit for everyone (and that is okay!). I hope everyone can get the help they need from whoever it is, even if it's not me. If I cannot help you, I will let you know and try to connect you with someone that can. I do the best with chats that can be asynchronous, as my schedule varies and I don't want to promise I can sit down for a real time chat if I cannot. That is unfair to both of us time wise, and time is a precious thing. Updated March 23, 2023 I have joined the admin team as a Quality Specialist for the volunteer community. I am still involved in all the things below, but as I am now involved widely across the site in different ways, if you need to know who to talk to regarding any of the below activities, please PM me and I will direct you to who you should talk to, whether it be me or someone else. If you have questions about anything Quality related, please PM me!
