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.

You are welcome to Kavisphere. I'm 27 years old. It's not because of my wanting to help people, or I necessarily want to be happy from helping I'm here to help, but to truly only help those who want help. You can truly enjoy the freedom of talking with me about anything which would give you peace. Straight. Artist. Don't assume negative things about me please, because I had written about these things. I have experience with people here wanting to know about these things about me. It's nice to be positive. So, this place is my friend, my family, my routine. Post graduate in master of business administration. Studying master of arts in psychology. INFJ. I can help those who struggle with anything. I'm passionate, empathetic, positive, confident, attentive, loyal, poetic, deep, honest and fearless. My main likes and hobbies are writing, observing people, arts, psychology and philosophy. I know different types of people come here with different problems or issues or conditions or sufferings or struggles or minds. You can talk about anything with me, no matter whether it's silly or serious. Sometimes what's silly for others may not be silly for the person who is experiencing it. I don’t expect anything by helping you honestly. I’m highly conscious about everything, and I feel everything, though commonly I don't do anything, but I'm healthy, I have peace. You will wonder if I’m insane, and if you continue talking with me, you will wonder if I’m the most sane, and if you still continue talking with me, you will wonder if I’m the most sane or the most insane and nobody continued talking with me, so, I don’t go talk with anyone, but you are free to come talk with me. ~ Kavi  My experience:  I love me, I love them, and they love me, and after sometimes they don’t love me, but I love them though they don’t love me, and they leave me, but I love them though they left me, and I love someone else, and they also leave me, and I love me, and I love them; so I’m the soul mate of everyone, and I’m the soul mate of me also.  -If you are a listener you can skip the things in the bracket if you want to save your time.- [Different people come for help with different problems. Suppose if a listener could not help you with your problem, that listener can help another. You don’t have to block a listener or rate a listener low if that listener could not help you with your problem. If more people block listeners their accounts will be banned. It’s how the conditions of a listener’s account work. Some members and guests treat listeners like they don’t have feelings. Because of that listeners who don’t talk with members and guests are increasing. You should not disrespect them because they are dedicating their time for you. If listeners behave badly you can block them.  If you truly have a problem and if you have patience, I can help you. I won’t be talking much if you are not explaining it. If you want something else like a friend or someone to talk with for some days or anything, you can be direct; you will be getting what you want if you are serious about it. No problem in breaking rules if those breaking of rules are not going to harm anyone. Some people are not comfortable when someone breaks rules, and it’s like a disorder for them. Some rules can be broken for good.  You can be anonymous if you want to be anonymous, but, you should know why you want to be anonymous, because, I don’t want you to waste your time. I don’t want to be anonymous because I know something I'm doing, I’m not going to do anything bad, I’m not going to harm anyone, and I’m not afraid of anything.] I know, but I don’t know how I know and I’m on peace with not knowing why I don’t know how I know. ~ Kavi  My style is poetic and my ways are artistic. I know the main objective is talking with members and guests, but there is an option to talk with other listeners. You can have casual talks also, but in that there can be good talks and bad talks with some people. Extent of good talks and bad talks can be different according to the values of different people. You can ignore people if your interests are different from their interests. I’m introverted who is exclusively extroverted with the right people. I don’t use much words but I say sharp and deep things.   It’s not a lot of bragging about me and I’m not narcissistic, but I know me and I like to write. I like writing poems and stories and I lost most of them which I had written in my computer and it was twelve years of data and it was a shock for me. My honesty annoys me sometimes, because sometimes it’s not only brutal honesty, but also foolish honesty, but I’m not selfish, so I’m always honest doesn’t matter anything. ~ Kavi  If you are with me, it would be like you are wandering in a different world with me. It can be exciting, frustrating, crazy and mysteriously magnetic. I don’t want to impress anyone. I’m not deliberately behaving in a diverse way to impress people. It’s how I am. I’m seriously honestly extremely truly lonely, but I don’t struggle with loneliness, but it’s nice to have a friend, and I hope my friend exists somewhere, because hope is good, but some hopes are false hopes, but it’s nice to hope. ~ Kavi A lot of people often misinterpret the things I say and they lose me. Breaking the rules can be bad, but sometimes it’s bad not to break rules, because it’s those rules which are bad. ~ Kavi  If someone is with me what they get from me will be priceless, but commonly people are not patient, they have a lot of bad experiences, so they don't believe anyone, and also they are so distracted by different experiences they experience from this world. I’m not telling anyone to be with me by believing in me, but it can be your choice and you have the freedom to choose. I’m not afraid to be alone, and I have been alone most of the time, but I don’t have any problem with anything. You can talk about your troubles or crisis with me. My powers are in knowing things. I don’t know a lot of things and I don’t have a lot of knowledge, but I know the things I should know. I wish if you will have patience with me, because I truly talk more with time. Something conflicting or challenging for me is the academics I had and the career which I should have because I’m apt to be a psychologist and it’s a craving of me. I can also teach students and I’m good in it and I have been teaching children from six years old to eighteen years old when I didn’t had any other work. It was from a company and those guys were disrespecting the principal and my colleagues, so I disrespected those guys and I lost the work. I don’t like to work in a company because most of the company guys behave badly with others and most of the companies are dishonest. Commonly these corporate people are rich, they have people to support them for anything, and they have power in society, but they are little people. So, I feel it's about being nice people without any ego of who you become. I liked the students I was teaching, and I was a baby to them, and they were my children. When I walk through the corridor, some small children come and grab my arm and take me to their class and they celebrate. My academics is in master of business administration, so it’s against a career I like and my happiness, and I have debt because of the education loan so I should earn with some other career. I’m not complaining and I'm not sad. It doesn't matter, I can craft my own marvel in anything.  Kavisphere is where I am. Kavisphere is me. Kavisphere is a hint for you. Kavisphere is my place everywhere. Kavisphere is where you can come for anything. I had done things for love, but I didn’t know the things I do are love and I’m neither living nor dying, but loving; and it is the love which can neither be created nor destroyed, and it is the love I could access to, and it is the love which is neither good nor bad and it is the love I’m breathing, and it is the love I feel, and it is the love which is not anything, but it can be anything, and it is the love I radiate, and it is the love which can’t hurt, because it’s deeper than emotions, and it is the love which you don’t struggle with, because it doesn’t necessarily want something, and it is the love which is tough to believe, because it’s all pervasive in nothing also, and it is the love which is neither sane nor insane, and it is the love connected and disconnected but always with you through the elements of your being and conscious in everything you know and don’t know, it is the love which shall not pass, and it is the love which is merged in the oblivion of everything infinitely; and it is the love which is only love.  ~ Kavi
