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 truly believe that every single person must go through something that absolutely destroys them so they can figure out who they really are. * "The worst part about having a mental illness is PEOPLE expect you to behave as if you  DONT"   -Joker Welcome to 7 Cups! Remember that you are brave for being receptive to help; as well as acknowledging that you can't figure everything out on your own. It is strong because it requires you to be honest with yourself, others and tends to make one more vulnerable.   Here for whatever you'd like to discuss ❤ I've been through a lot and learned a lot.  I can't discuss most Chronic Illness topics. If you have a topic to discuss, please tell me honestly so we can be on the same page. I'm here for you.   People in depression aren't lazy. people with anxiety aren't rude. People with suicidal thoughts aren't attention seekers. People with mental illness aren't crazy. Do not say, "I am having a bad day." Say, "I am having a character-building day." - Les Brown Have a wonderful day and thanks for stopping by!!!!!

🌧️ 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

Life can be tough sometimes, and feeling lost or alone is okay. It takes courage to reach out for help, and I want you to know you've taken a big step by considering chatting.  I have been where you are and know how it feels to be misunderstood and marginalized. But I know finding support, love, and acceptance is possible, so I'm here to help. I am a verified and trained listener with many years of experience supporting and guiding individuals. No matter what you're going through, whether it's depression, anxiety, loneliness, finances, break-ups, or bullying, I'm here to listen and offer a safe space to talk about your feelings.  I know it's not always easy to trust someone with your thoughts and emotions, but I want you to know I will always listen with empathy and compassion. I will not judge you and always keep our conversations confidential.   When we chat, we'll talk about whatever is on your mind, and I'll provide you with the support and guidance you need to move forward. Together, we'll work through your struggles and help you find a way to live your life to the fullest.   So, please don't hesitate to reach out to me.  I am here for you, and I am ready to listen and support you through whatever struggles you're facing. Take care, and I look forward to chatting with you soon. A Heartwarming Experience with "JustMeForYou" A Sweetheart and a Fantastic Listener! With an impressive 50 years of listening experience, Chris deserves sincere appreciation for the exceptional qualities he brings to this platform as a listener. His non-judgmental approach, coupled with a profound sense of empathy and compassion, sets him apart and, in my experience, may place him among the very best. Chris possesses an extraordinary talent for uplifting spirits, providing invaluable guidance, and offering the support necessary to navigate life's peaks and valleys. I express my deepest gratitude for all he has done for me. His genuine care and steadfast support have truly made a significant difference, and I consider myself fortunate to have connected with such an exceptional listener. She was 92.  We cried together.  It was a happy cry. I want to share a true story with you that has shown me the incredible power of compassion. Recently, I visited a nursing home where I met a 92-year-old woman who felt lonely, scared, and depressed. As we spoke, I realized what she needed was a connection with another person, someone who could offer comfort and companionship. I read a children's Bible at her request.  As we read, I held her hand. We cried together, and at that moment, I could feel her pain, but I also saw hope in her eyes. It was a small gesture, but it made a significant impact. By simply showing her kindness and compassion, I connected with her and brought some comfort.   It was an incredibly moving experience, reminding me of the importance of reaching out to those who may be lonely or isolated.  Seeing how a small act of kindness can instantly turn someone's day around is incredible.   So, if you can visit someone who is lonely or depressed, I encourage you to do so. Your presence and compassion can make all the difference, even if it's just for a short time. Let's spread kindness and love wherever we go and improve the world - one person at a time.  My Happiness Philosophy When I was a little boy, around 11 or 12 years old, I experienced a sense of sadness that lingered for several weeks. My parents noticed my distress and approached me with concern, hoping to understand better what was troubling me. Despite their efforts, I struggled to pinpoint the root of my feelings and underwent several medical tests that yielded no answers. It was clear that something was amiss, and I felt lost and disconnected from my usual self.  I turned to my mother for guidance, and she suggested I try reaching out to help someone in need. At such a young age, this proved to be a challenge for me, but my mother encouraged me to offer my time and assistance to our neighborhood veterinarian by taking their dogs for walks after school and on weekends, free of charge.   As it turned out, this simple act of kindness was transformative for me and set me on a path of helping others. Over the years, I have expanded my efforts from animals to people and served as a listener and mentor for over 50 years. These days, even in retirement, I have plenty of free time to continue supporting those in need through systems like 7Cups and in my community. I'm grateful to have found a sense of purpose and fulfillment through helping others, and it brings me great joy to know that I can make a positive difference in the lives of those around me.
