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.

Hi! I'm a 29 year old who has been through his share of trauma and emotional abuse. I was  brought up by highly toxic parents, bullied as a kid, been in relationships with narcissists, amongst other experiences. I'm here to give to others what I wish I had for myself when I was going through all that: a caring non-judgmental friend who is here to listen and to be there for you. No matter what you're going through, you will only receive empathy, love, and acceptance here. I love 7cups. People who come on here are people who are taking a step in the right direction. They are honest with themselves, and are taking steps to heal by sharing their emotions and feelings instead of quashing them and letting them fester. I have met the most incredible people on here and value everyone's own unique story. It is my small way of making this world a little bit of a better place. I cherish the friendships I have made on here already, and I can't wait to meet you as well!

*I'm no longer taking on one-on-one chats as a long term Listener, as I'm currently at my maximum capacity of members.* I believe we all have the answers we are seeking inside ourselves. Sometimes we just need the right sounding board to give us clarity. My job will be to help you unlock these gems of insight for yourself. We can talk about whatever is on your mind. I've heard it all, and offer a non-judgmental and understanding ear. With me, you can be assured that you'll receive consistent, in-depth responses from someone who is dedicated to supporting you. It's a genuine joy and honor to be able to listen to you.      My specialties include:      Self-discovery/understanding      Relationships (romantic, family, friendships, etc.)      Spirituality (anything from the topic of death to reincarnation, dreams, spiritual awakenings, and everything in between). Note: This does not include astrology     readings as I'm not an expert in that field.   Think we'll be a good fit? Then let's explore together, so we can shine a light on whatever darkness you're facing on your journey! And if I don't sound like your cup of tea (pun intended), then I still wish you the best! *If you message me while I'm offline, there may be a short delay in my response time if I don't see it right away, but I'll always respond as soon as possible! As a side note, I'm generally more responsive on weekdays than on weekends.* _________________________________________________ A Little About Me: I’m a 36-year-old poet who loves to analyze and research things; I’m endlessly curious. I enjoy conversing with others and helping people whenever I can. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, learning, spending time with loved ones, and trying out new, healthy recipes.  If you want to classify me in MBTI terms, I'm an INFJ. If the Enneagram personality system is more your speed, I'm a 6w5, 1w2, 2w1 sx/sp.  My interests include: metaphysics, esoterica, psychology, philosophy, typology, astrology, tarot/oracle reading, nutrition, yoga, bouldering, music, movies/shows, gaming, animals, and nature.
