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.

I am lueur :3 my name lueur means a glimmer of light and the PM land with me is a space I aspire to make une lueur d'espoir (a glimmer of hope) for you. I take up member chats when I can. if you're reaching out to me for support, please also express how I can be of help and share what you need support with (kindly check my chat topic triggers below to see what I may not be able to best support you with), so that we can be off to a great start! :) a simple "hey/hello, can you help?" doesn't give me an idea of what you want support with, so do let me know what you're seeking support with by saying something like, "I need support with relationship stress/anxiety, etc,". I am not filtering what MBTI types I support people with, saying you are an X type, doesn't give me an idea of your situation. topics I amĀ not comfortable withĀ and for which I may re-direct you to another listener: self-harm, eating disorder, substance use, OCD, panic attacks, and schizophrenia.Ā it would be helpful for me if you do not reach out to me regarding these topics because I am very limited in my knowledge and/or triggered by these topics. topics I love supporting people with: relationship stress, breakups, general mental health, student life, managing emotions, grief, family stress, depression and anxiety.Ā other topics, that I haven't listed, don't trigger or make me uncomfortable, and I'd be open to listening to you on them. 惟ā›§Ā about meĀ ā›§ļ¾ pronouns: she/her second-year university student studying psychology //Ā infpĀ 9w1 my interests: anime, writing, reading, listening to music, playing keyboard and guitar, tv shows such as this is us, rick and morty, b99, f.r.i.e.n.d.s, parenthood, gilmore girls (paris is my favourite character), and blah blah (basically, the generic stuff) [^^ it's beautiful to love the ordinary ^^] Ā»Ā»ā€”ā€”ā€”ā€”-怀ā™”怀ā€”ā€”ā€”ā€”-Ā«ā‹…Źšā™”ɞā‹…Ā»ā€”ā€”ā€”ā€”-怀ā™”怀ā€”ā€”ā€”ā€”-Ā«Ā« ā€æŹšĖšĢ£Ģ£Ģ£Ķ™ÉžĀ words that resonate with meĀ ŹšĖšĢ£Ģ£Ģ£Ķ™Éžā€æ "maybe anyone worth knowing is worth knowing for only a short while. maybe anyone worth loving is worth loving inconclusively. and when you look at it that way, it doesn't seem quite so unbearable at all: to allow yourself to love someone with everything you've got - and then to fully and completely let them go." - Heidi Priebe "touching people's lives in a positive way is as close as I can get to an idea of religion." - Keith Haring "but it cannot be a mistake to have cared... it cannot be an error to have tried... it cannot be incorrect to have loved." - Nikki Giovanni Ā»Ā»ā€”ā€”ā€”ā€”-怀ā™”怀ā€”ā€”ā€”ā€”-Ā«ā‹…Źšā™”ɞā‹…Ā»ā€”ā€”ā€”ā€”-怀ā™”怀ā€”ā€”ā€”ā€”-Ā«Ā« ā™”Ā people people peopleĀ ā™” @Starmedia & @Mango3Ā people who have had the most special impact on me @greasemonkyĀ šŸ³ my whale buddy, somebody who brings out the best in me Ā @Yukihiko & @DreamTouch my listener twinnies @Starlasky @Sunisshiningandsoareyou @SparkyGizmo @DonaldDraper @whenitsdarklookforstars @mamtasha22 ā™”怀ā€”ā€”ā€”ā€”-Ā«ā‹…Źšā™”ɞā‹…Ā»ā€”ā€”ā€”ā€”-怀ā™”

Ā  READ BIO BEFORE MESSAGING.Ā due to my roles and personal life, I may not always accept chat requests Browse Listeners [https://www.7cups.com/BrowseListeners] I only take *teen* chats. If you are an adult member, please reach out to somebody else. I am usually available on Tuesdays, Thursdays and the weekends from 9am-1pm ET. important to know that chat sessions with me last anywhere from 30-40 minutes. šŸŒŗ Hi there! Welcome to my page :) I am Kate, a young womanĀ from a city in the northern area of Greece. I am a high school student, studying in the humanities field and am working towards studying psychology or English philology in university. I initially joined this site to get support in regards to my at the time relationship, and decided to also join as a Listener, doing exactly what I plan on having as my profession in a few years from now: be there for people. My main role here is to be there for you no matter what you go through, no matter how big or small it is. And no matter how many roles I take on on this site, I will still be here for you. For that is my main goal, my biggest contribution to this community. šŸ„° Some of my hobbies include: dancing, writing, reading books (romance, fantasy, mythology and non-fiction), filming videos as well as taking pictures. šŸŒŗ I amĀ only availableĀ for supportive conversations on the topicsĀ listed on my profile. For any other topic, please contact another listener. Thank you! šŸŒŗ My contribution to this community goes beyond being a Listener. Here are some other roles I have taken up: Verified Listener.Ā IĀ have been verified by the community for my commitment to active listening skills and quality chatting. That means the community expects of me to maintain professional, kind, open-minded and understanding towards you at all times. Chat Supporter.Ā I am considered a listener who has expertise in the role of a listener and is eligible to provide specialized support to listeners on 7cups in regards to their role/supportive chat.

Community Mentor Leader for the Relationship Stress community.Ā I overview the Relationship Stress community and forums. Are you interested in joining the team? Let me know! Safety Patrol Team Member. I flag profiles that go against the website guidelines. šŸŒŗ My status usually indicates: Green:Ā IĀ amĀ online and ready to take a chat. Orange:Ā I amĀ onlineĀ butĀ busy, which means my responses will be slower. Red:Ā I am offline. You can leave me an offline message during that time.

If you receive no response within that time range, feel free to send me a message again (I may sometimes forget to respond, so excuse me for that :P) Message me and let's schedule a chat! šŸŒŗ My amazing twins: @Antonio7CupsĀ @starryWillow9852

Hello,Ā  We can connect and talk. I would love to Listen. Currently, I am not taking too many requests due to a busy schedule as a Counselling student. A little bit about me- I have completed my studies in Psychology and Management. I am passionate and read incessantly about Human Mind and Behaviour. My leadership role- Chatroom Moderator. I believe in connecting with people and listening during difficult times. ThisĀ can sometimesĀ empower and give you theĀ ability to betterĀ cope in aĀ difficult situation.
