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.

😃 Hii! I'm happy to offer you an attentive ear if you feel unstuck. Please allow a 72-hour response time. I could be busy with things outside Cups :) This is a safe space to share things that have been troubling you. I will not be sharing our conversation with anyone else. I appreciate your feedback. So if you feel I'm not answering your questions, feel free to tell me! This could improve the quality of our conversation and it helps me understand your needs better :}  My Boundaries: I hope we can both be respectful of each other and be mindful of the impact of our words.  I have zero tolerance for racist remarks and sexual harassment. I'll report if such an instance happens.

My name is Sebastian and I am half Greek half Danish. I am non-binary, transmasculine, and use they/them pronouns.   I have completed my bachelor's degree in Psychology and my master's in Foundations in Clinical Psychology in the UK. Currently, however, I am working as a content moderator for a media platform, making sure that inappropriate, abusive, or otherwise violative content is removed. While I do want to work in the mental health field, my current job position is also very fulfilling to me, given that I feel I contribute to making the internet a safer space.  As a non-binary and pansexual person, I have much lived experience when it comes to exploring one's identity, accepting it, and, well, coming out. Homophobia, transphobia, stigma, and exclusion, are all things that I have dealt with and occasionally still do. Thankfully, I have a very supportive family and live in a country that at least doesn't legally penalise LGBTQI+ people. Yet, I know this is not the case for everyone. Appreciating the importance of a safe space for people to navigate their identity, I am eager to provide my support and make life even a bit easier for those who need it.  Other experiences in my life have further motivated me to become a mental health therapist. Witnessing traumatic events has given me a better understanding of the necessity of having access to mental health support, and unfortunately, I have also lived through (both directly and indirectly) the consequences of not having such access. My purpose today is to be by people's side, and together find a way to add colour to the darkness :) If you would like us to have a chat, do feel free to leave me a message and I'll get back to you ASAP. Stay safe and know you are not alone :)

🌧️ ON SELF-CARE BREAK STARTING APRIL 2024 UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE 🌊 Hello, I'm CM, short for Cosmic Miracle. You can also call me Cosmic or Miracle if you feel like it. I have experienced many life struggles and have had to emotionally, mentally, and spiritually grow up by myself at 11 years old. I feel like an old soul in my late-30s body. I am here to offer whatever kind of conversations you need: random talks, deep conversations, philosophical discussions, current events, our favourite books and films, and how music affects us... whatever helps you, please let me. Never underestimate the power of conversations. So, what do you want to talk about? I'm waiting :) === Please consider the topics I am open to discussing (listed in a separate section). I get members who have concerns about issues I normally would not be comfortable discussing because: * I have never had that experience ergo I won't be able to help you much; * I am not confident that the experiences I had regarding those issues have made me the ideal person to talk to as it might have affected me negatively and I am still in the process of healing from it; and * I am not trained to handle some specific issues about mental health and you'd be better talking to someone who is I don't turn my back on everyone who wants to talk to me, but please manage your expectations :) In case I am unavailable, so many beautiful lightworkers are willing to listen to you and help you process your thoughts and emotions.

As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even to the dull and the ignorant; they too have their story. Avoid loud and aggressive persons; they are vexatious to the spirit. If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain or bitter, for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time. Exercise caution in your business affairs, for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals, and everywhere life is full of heroism. Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love; for, in the face of all aridity and disenchantment, it is as perennial as the grass. Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be. And whatever your labours and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace in your soul. With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful. Strive to be happy. = Max Ehrmann <3

Some years ago, I was in a very dark place. I wish I had someone to talk to, at least so that I could feel less lonely in this world. I've overcome a lot of struggles completely alone, but now I'm here to be the help I've never had. Everyone should use some help fighting their struggles, and that's why I'm here: I want to help you by listening to you and giving you all the support I can give. If I'm online, then please feel free to start a chat. If I'm offline, then send me a message and we can set up a time to contact. Glad you are here! Please don't ask me for sex chats, my personal phone number or social media profiles. I've been asked too many times and I always refused because of some past experience, so I'd rather you didn't ask. Thank you.

Hi ~Just a human being 🌿 (Currently accepting new member buddies, feel free to reach out. It's a pleasure to talk to you all😄) ------------------------- I'll be there for you              When the rain starts to pour ; ) " There is still a joker roaming around the world. He will make sure that the world never rests. Whenever possible -and wherever possible - a little fool will jump out wearing long donkey ears and jingling bells. He will look deep into our eyes and ask, who are we? Where do we come from? " Jostein Gaarder, The Solitaire Mystery ♧ ------------------------- Dear fellow reader, how have you been? 😊 I’ve been meaning to write this for a while now, and I finally took the courage to do so. I appreciate your patience going through my profile. We are stuck in a world with tons of problems, each and every one of us carries their own. These problems can change, but from my own personal experience, there is never a time when we don’t have any. I can relate to that as well, I know you do too. BUT, the way we approach our problems matter. That’s what helps us grow. I know we might never recover from our pains, our bad memories are always going to be a part of us as well, although, the important part is that they get lost between the good ones. I’m not going to tell you what to do and what not to do, but to let you know that my main reason to be here is that I simply care. I want to be with you when making tough decisions, when dealing with something harsh which life threw at you. I’m not a saint or an agnel. I make mistakes and take some actions that I might end up regretting, I’m not going to judge you when you do as such. Pinky promise. ------------------------- Some things that I’ve come to learn during my life: (The list will be updated during time lol) ✨You can’t be the hero in everyone’s story. ✨You don’t need to keep everyone satisfied to feel happy. ✨Take your steps based on what feels right to you, not everyone else’s. ✨Space and time make some things better, if you’re not sure they apply to a situation, try them. ✨We all gain our initial deep motive to help us keep going in hard situations during time. Time certainly makes you a master. Take your time, and build that motive. This doesn’t mean that you will go through challenges happily, but to solely be able to get through them eventually. ✨I agree that even best friends can’t be hundred percent there for each other, I agree that us as listeners have our own issues going on as well. But I truly believe you might still find someone caring about you in silence. If you feel like troubles are there weighing on you, and it feels harsh to move on carrying those burdens, I’m here to help easing up that pain as much as I can. ------------------------- About me: 🕊️A fellow soul in my 20s, searching for the meaning of life and pursuing my passion in college.  🕊️I love learning new languages. 🕊️I’m passionate about reading, listening to music, and hiking. 🕊️I love reading mystery novels and watching movies in this genre.  🕊️Friends and Modern Family are my two comfort shows. 🕊️I'm a pretty good photographer 📷. 🕊️Green is my favorite color 💚.  🕊️I am here to at least make another fellow soul feel a bit better.  May all your days be blessed, Take care!😇 “Message in a bottle is all I can do Standing here hoping this gets to you” T.S. 😊 💕

As Salamu Alaikum  The weird listening wizard. Made In Bangladesh And So Easy To Understand, I am An Asian. Don't Be A Racist Claiming Asians Aren't Good In Listening. Serving This Ground Since 2016. I Claim Myself The Greatest And Classiest Because I Have Never Taken a Break From This Ground Since I Entered. Now Easy To Understand Because Other Listeners Here Who Show Too Much Excitement And Passion For Listening Often Break Their Own Mind And Hide Themselves Suddenly. I Can't Be That Careless Like Others, So That's My Biggest Point To Claim Myself The Greatest And Classiest of 7 Cups. Consistency Matters Most When The Task Is Voluntary. I Believe Taking A Break And Hiding From Those Who Seek Help Is Cowardice.  People Often Call Me A Narcissist, But I'll Say To Be A Narcissist, It Needs Some Unique Ability To Define Your Statement, And I Have That. And Lastly, Don't Waste My Time By Showing a Lack Of Consistency. I Trade Modesty, So Be Modest. Also, I'm A Muslim, So Choose Those Topics That Suits A Muslim Because It's Fun To Kick Someone When He Selects A Wrong Topic To Share With Me.
