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 there! I'm a listener here on 7cups. I'm a full-blown nerd, I love learning and experiencing new things, but I always make time for exercise. I'm open to chatting about most issues, including sexual, paraphilic and kink-related issues. I've also studied religion in an academic context and I'm open to talk about spirituality if that's an important part of your life. So that's me! Feel free to start a chat, especially when I'm online!

Other than cupsing, I spend most of my time either reading, watching a movie, or tinkering with code (I'm a software geek and love to see how many different ways I can crash my computer). In school, I'm an avid stage speaker, love to participate in every extra-curricular event, and spend as little time in the classroom as possible. ------------------------- I'm currently in a few different leadership roles so I've reduced my regular member chats. I still take chats when I have time but please understand if I don't accept your requests, I'm likely occupied elsewhere. My status can give you the most accurate depiction of my current availability. 🟢 means I'm open to taking chats RN (if you send me a personal request during this time but don't hear back within 2-3 mins, feel free to text me as sometimes personal request notifications can be missed) 🟠 means I'm online but I'm not taking chats RN (please refrain from sending me chat requests during this time because I will likely be unable to accept them. if you need to contact me for some other reason during this time, leave me a text and I'll try my best to respond as soon as I can) 🔴 means I'm offline and not able to respond RN (I can not take chats at this time or respond to messages immediately. feel free to leave me a message and I'll try to get back to you within 48 hours) Before sending me a personal request, please make sure to check my status and the list of topics I feel comfortable discussing. I'm sorry but if you need help with a topic that is not listed, you'll be better suited to go to another listener. I'm unable to help you with them for either lack of knowledge or just uncomfortability with the topic. ------------------------- * Some Wonderful Quotes That I Live By * "The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others." ~ Mahatma Gandhi "Help others achieve their dreams, and you will achieve yours." ~ Les Brown "The best support you can offer is a listening ear, a caring heart, and an open mind." ~ Unknown "Believe you can, and you're halfway there." ~ Theodore Roosevelt "The greatest gift you can give someone is your time because when you give your time, you are giving a portion of your life that you will never get back." ~ Unknown ------------------------- I have an amazing listener twinnie @wishfulWillow6962 [/@wishfulWillow6962] a so very supportive listener sis  [/]@cristlecares [/@cristlecares] Here are honorable mentions for some of the sooo lovely people whom I have so much fun with in TL: (if I missed your name, hit up my PMs) @TabbyCat97 [/@TabbyCat97] @Suryansh [/@Suryansh] @SparklingSeashells [/@SparklingSeashells] @Tobedoctor [/@Tobedoctor] @takitoteka [/@takitoteka] @VioletNotes [/@VioletNotes] @FaithfulZareia [/@FaithfulZareia] @ReganL [/@ReganL] If you've gotten this far, 🎉🎉🎉CONGRATS!!!🎉🎉🎉 You must be hungry, here are some snacks for you  🍰   🍩           🍔   🍕 🥞           🍔  🧁           🍰 🧁                🍪               🥞  🍔                                🍪 🍰                           🍩 🧁                       🍪 🍕               🥞  🍩        🧁  🍔 Thanks for stopping by!!!

I'll try my best to help or guide you if I can.I am here to listen and support you. Trust me I'll not judge you 😊✨. Also I'll try my best to be your good friend as I know the pain of having no friends during hard times and how it feels like to be left abandoned. **Up for casual chats too** Perverts please stay away. This is a mental health platform so don't show up your cringe mentality (Please don't come up with your cooked up stories too). ⚠️⚠️I don't take any kind of Sexual chats.⚠️⚠️ 🟢 - Online 🟠 - Busy (My reply can be Late) 🔴 - U can drop the Messages. Sometimes I'm online but I don't show but If I'm not online then I'll reply ASAP. In case If u understand hindi so tell me this first .... as my English is not good.
