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 there, I have a life full of experiences and, while not all of them are joyous, they certainly were and continue to be character-building. I realize that I may not be able to help everyone in every journey, but I do hope I can share some support for those in their own time of need. I value all, withhold judgment, and believe that everyone (including you reading my profile!) can overcome any obstacle in front of them... no matter how dark life may seem I hope to provide at least a temporary flame to remind you that light still exists out there.

(Inactive, on a break. Expect very slow responses please. ) *spots a nice human* Hey there! I've dealt with a lot, and I want to let you know that if you are dealing with a lot too, you are not alone. It helps to just talk about stuff!!! Feel free to reach out and talk to someone-it helps. Please see- I am sorry if I am unavailable while you are reading this, so please talk to another listener [https://www.7cups.com/BrowseListeners/] if you want support now. Or if you want you can drop me messages and I'll reply within 48 hours. I am here for you! 💜I am now an ATL so both teens and adults can message me💜 Please note- I am generally unavailable for casual chats. 💜   💜💜Let's make it a happier place for everyone!!💜💜 Quick note- I am no longer an ambassador. For any VL related queries, please reach out to @ASilentObserver [http://7cups.com/@ASilentObserver] I can talk about most topics. Chats I am uncomfortable with- Self harm, a member under influence, parenting (like I'm uncomfortable talking about things from a parental point of view. If you want to talk about your parents, that's okay) Members- Please go through the first part of my bio before sending me a message/request (I've indicated till where). If that seems like a lot you can simply read the highlighted and underlined portions I chat for not more than 45 minutes at a time. I am here to listen compassionately and without judgement. The chat will be confidential.💜💜 I can talk about all topics except self harm and parenting. (You can talk about your parents, but not about your kids please).💜 I am uncomfortable chatting about self harm (due to personal reasons) If you want to talk about it please contact another listener. Also if you are thinking about doing it now then please contact a crisis resource 7cups.com/crisis [https://www.7cups.com/7cups.com/crisis] I am uncomfortable talking to members who are under the influence (of alcohol or any other narcotic substance) I am comfortable chatting with neurodiverse members and DID/OSDD systems. I do take chats about sexual assault, PTSD and LGBTQ+ issues💜💜 I do take chats on sexual health (but I am very selective here). Please don't ask me to control your urges or for any inappropriate "help". Please keep in mind that this website is for emotional support, and I would appreciate it if you can be respectful and considerate. I may be unfamiliar with some of the topics you may want to talk about, but I can read up on them during the chat or in-between chat sessions...since sadly I can't know everything (though I wish I did). However if I didn't mention a topic, I am comfortable talking about it. My triggers- Self-harm (and related descriptions). For all members- before reaching out to chat, please check my status- Red(offline)- I am offline and not replying. However you can still drop messages and I will get back to you later. Response time 48 hours Green(online)- I am online, free and open to your chat requests… Orange(Busy)- I am here but I already am talking to too many people here or busy somewhere on 7cups so I am unable to give you the attention you deserve. I recommend you to look for another listener by clicking here [https://www.7cups.com/BrowseListeners/].... Response time 3-4 hours max.  Note for all members Please note that if I am in the chatrooms and my status is offline, that means I am not currently available for chatting in the PMs.(Usually it means I am about to log out soon and therefore can't chat). In that case you can send me a PM and I'll get back to you in 48h. I do care about you a lot because you are an awesome person...I'll do my best to support you!! If I am unable to do so for any reason, please feel free to reach out to another amazing listener here [https://www.7cups.com/BrowseListeners/]. You may not be comfortable with me, and I totally respect that and want you to get the best help possible. My PMs are a safe space where you can talk about things, and I am here for you. I care for you all💜💜 I have been facing memory difficulties (due to dissociation), so I may not always remember details about what you tell me, or sometimes I might lose track of what you are talking about. I sometimes might also miss out on tags or messages for the same reason, in which case you are very welcome to follow up with me or tag me again within 2-3 days. Please bear with me on that, and remember that I am here for you, and I am trying my best. My sincerest apologies for the same. Also I'm slow to reply to tags so if it's urgent, message me the link to the post as well💜 *💜sends lots of love for you💜* Please note that I do not check in regularly (since I find it hard to keep track of that), so my listening style is more like you can peek in anytime you need support. Members whom I've spoken to before are welcome to drop a message when they need support as well💜.  Important note- I am a trained listener but I am not a professional therapist so I will be unable to give you advice and/or therapy-like support. You can still drop me a message if you want to talk about what you're struggling with, I'll be here to listen to you. If you are looking for professional therapy (paid) here at 7Cups and you are an adult then please click here [https://www.7cups.com/online-therapy/?ob=1] Unfortunately 7Cups doesn't offer therapy for teens but I hope you get the support you need and deserve. Please note- I am unavailable for casual chats with anyone- be it listeners, members or friends due to time commitments. If you want to talk to me, poke my PMs anytime and I'll surely get back to you!! *💜sending comfy vibes💜* If you are willing to live chat with me, but can't spot me online, please drop me a message so we can discuss availabilities and schedule a chat. Looking forward to speaking to you! Please go through the part of my profile above this before sending me a request!   Some Quick resources for emergencies Crisis link here [http://7cups.com/crisis] or you can chat anonymously for crisis support here [https://nycwell.cityofnewyork.us/en/get-help-now/chat-with-a-counselor-now/]. For Self harm urges, alternatives here [http://7cups.com/forum/SelfHarmRecovery_65/InformationandResources_1079/DistractionsandAlternativeCopingStrategies_221562/] For panic attacks- here are grounding techniques [https://www.7cups.com/forum/TraumaticExperiencesCommunity_60/TraumaRecoveryResources_481/GroundingWhenTriggered_42512/], more grounding techniques [https://www.therapistaid.com/therapy-article/grounding-techniques-article], breathing exercises (Youtube [https://youtu.be/vXZ5l7G6T2I] or Gif [https://i.imgur.com/bg6J9md.gif]) and muscle relaxation [https://youtu.be/I0wVZIxoe-Q]  A little bit about me ;) If you have lots of extra time, then maybe you may want to read my full bio- You could call me Lavender but everyone just calls me Lav. Some people like to call me cool nicknames like Little Lav, Lave, Lavy, Lavvie, Law(?), Empa, or even Lab (short for laboratory- I love lab)- so if you are too lazy to type Lavender and are bored of Lav then you can call me all that.   The lovely @courageousheart96 [http://7cups.com/@courageousheart96] dedicated an emoji to me (I'm so honoured hehe)- the lav heart💜💜 💜💜You can use pronouns they/them for me💜💜 I am an ace (asexual) and an ally for the LGBTQ+/MOGII community. I am currently a full time uni student in a STEM field (Biotech), which means time is tricky at times. But I try to be here as much as possible.  Some mental health issues that I live with are depression, PTSD, OSDD and chronic anxiety. Members please feel free to message me if you want to talk about these with a listener who has experience. Languages- I speak English, French (well I don't "speak" French well, it's kinda rusty) and I am trying to learn basic Korean. I also speak (but won't be chatting in) Hindi My trigger- self harm 💜Hugs are no longer a trigger for me💜 I said a lot already so I would prefer it if you don't come up with very personal questions (and please don't ask any personal questions for a second time). Please understand that is because I love my privacy and you should love your privacy too!  Also I run a snack-shop here at 7Cups, so there are cookies and cakes and all sorts of awesome stuff for everyone💜 As of now my primary focus is on supporting listeners on the site. Due to personal reasons it is not possible for me to be available regularly for live member support chats. I do live member chats on-and-off and I always update my bio accordingly. I am, however, always open to new members via slow pace chats. Members are always welcome to seek support from me by exchanging offline messages with a maximum response time 48 hours from my side. My favourite place on 7Cups is the PMland- so feel free to text me anytime and I'll surely get back to you within 48h. And my PMs are a spam-friendly space for all :) 💜💜 A quick note- My country shown changes from time to time, since it reflects the country I am currently in. This is to ensure transparency regarding the timezone I am in. I generally reply to all PMs within 48 hours. If I'm on a break or unable to reply timely for any reason I'll surely add that to the top of my bio. If I did not reply within this time, it does not mean I'm angry or anything, because of memory issues or technical glitches I may sometimes miss messages. My sincerest apologies for the same. So in that case please feel free to send me another message. Also response time may be a bit delayed on weekends but I'll try to ensure it's within 48 hours. 💜 You might know me from my previous username (empatheticLavender2924)- changed it since this one is simpler:) My roles here- 💜First and foremost- I am a verified listener [https://www.7cups.com/forum/ListenerLearningJourney_149/QualityProjectsVerifiedListeners_144/IWanttobeaVerifiedListener_46935/1/] which means I am someone who will try their best to listen to you.

Somewhere away from this chaos There's a fresh start." (Translated from Hindi, Aaftaab, The Local Train) 🎵"The sun goes down and it comes back up, the world has turned no matter what.

Sometimes the weather is not good- sometimes it is sunny and sometimes cloudy and rainy. Sometimes the rain is a storm that destroys everything. The storm felt never-ending and overwhelming. However the storm has calmed down, and is not scary and risky anymore. The sunlight comes back, but all you can see is the damage from the storm (post-trauma effects). The damage looks terrible but you can't look away from it.  Here- I'll remind you- look how far you've come- you've survived the scary storm. That's amazing. There will be damage and that's totally ok. Remember you can make it through- since you survived the storms you are strong enough to slowly clean the mess and heal. That is sad as it will remind you of the storm, and the mess is huge. It takes time to clean up, but you can do this. I know you can. And to those friends of mine whose storms aren't over yet- I see you, I hear you. I know you too are doing your very best and did nothing to deserve this. It might feel like the storm will never end- it will be here forever. But the storm will be over. One day things will get better. And after that you might have to do the post-storm cleaning (or post-traumatic healing) and that is hard, but you got this. One day you'll look back on everything and be really proud of yourself- how hard you tried and how far you've come. If you feel like you are trying but tired, and scared and worried, I hear you. It is tiring to manage everything, and sometimes it is hard to talk about it. But if you want someone to be there for you- I am just one PM away. Come talk to me about it (or any other listener here). We are all here for you, and you can do it because you are amazing and brave. The end of my bio;) This bio is so long, smh so I'll stop here. Sending lots of healing beams for you, yes you amazing fairy!! You deserve love and support💜💜 Please see- I am sorry if I am unavailable while you are reading this, so please talk to another listener if you want support now. Or if you want you can drop me messages and I'll reply within 48 hours. I am here for you!! My PMs are open at all times for both members and listeners!  If you are an adult (listener or member) and can't PM me, you can tag me in a forum post anytime (by typing "@LavenderHere ") that way I'll get a notification and reply to you! Also random people lurking in my bio- you're welcome here (I spotted you hehe) *💜sends cookies💜* Also before I forget- 💜💜Congratulations on reaching the end of my bio!!!💜💜 *💜special cookies for you💜*

Reaching out is a great thing, a strong thing. Sometimes just talking helps. Listeners are eager to acknowledge what's said without judgment; to empathize; to encourage self-reflection, honesty, and mindfulness.

Restarting! Notice: I am sorry, but I am not currently able to listen to any members at the moment. In the meantime, here [http://www.7cups.com/BrowseListeners/] are some amazing listeners, and I hope you will be able to find a listener that can support you best :)    To Members If anyone asks me who I am, to be honest, I would not know what to say. I am a cis female that questions her sexuality. I am someone who cares about school, yet there's a part of me that does not. I am someone who loves interacting with people, yet I am not exactly social. My interests are ever-changing, and everything is sort of all over the place. However, despite all the unanswered questions in my head about who I am, there is one thing I am sure about: it is my story.  Every story is special in its own ways, but sometimes our stories are not heard, and stepping outside our comfort zone to share is quite hard. I am very proud to see that every one of you took the first step and made a member account whether it is for support or just for the sake of having one. I may never be able to fully understand what you are going through because I have not been in your shoes and neither have I experienced what you had, no matter how similar our stories may be. I cannot promise you will feel better and that everything will get better because we really do not know. However, from the bottom of my heart, I still hope that I can support you the best that I can with a listening ear. Some topics that I have dealt with are anxiety, LGBTQ+, sleeping well, self-esteem, and many more in varying degrees. I would love to talk about these issues; however, please note that I will not be sharing my personal experiences because I would love to focus on listening to your story. My listening space is a safe place for those who would like to talk about any issues without any judgment (unfortunately, I may not be the best person to talk about alcohol/drug use, men's issues, and perinatal mood disorder due to my limited knowledge on those topics, but feel free to message me if you wish!). My listening style incorporates longer messages, usually 2-4 sentences per message, so my response time ranges around 1-2 minutes. On one last note, each person is different, and my style may not exactly match up with your preferences, which is perfectly alright! There are also some other wonderful listeners that you may want to check out here [http://www.7cups.com/BrowseListeners/]! Welcome to my profile. I am Day or Dream, and I am very excited to get to know all of you :) To Listeners from my mentor profile but with some additional information! I still remember the first day I signed up as a listener, where I scrambled to figure out how this site worked with listening, the chatrooms, the forums, the notifications, and just everything. It was a lot to process, and listening wasn't quite what I imagined it would be. These first few days are often days when we are amazed by the site yet unsure where to start, yet even as days and months go by, there are days where we don't feel very confident in listening, days where we feel like we should do more, and days where we have questions but do not know who to ask.  Every listener's journey here on 7 cups is different and special in its own way; some focus on listening to our wonderful members, some focus on chatting in the chatrooms, and others focus on supporting everyone through a variety of projects. No matter where we stand, I would like to take this chance to thank every single one of you for signing up as a listener and even checking out this mentor page! That being said, I am very excited to get to know everyone, so feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions, would like a familiar face around here, or anything else! My journey is focused around two tracks: quality and forums ~ Forum Track: Edit, delete, or move forum posts (global community teen star), Questions about forum guidelines (forum flag team), Want to join the Teen Only Zone! (community mentor leader) Quality Track/Project: Mock chats and listening resources (teen quality star), How to respond to certain chats (chat support), How to become a verified listener (verifier's team project agent), Join the safety patrol team (safety patrol and outreach team), Active Listening 3 Test feedback and updates (AL3 grading and feedback team) Please also do note that I may not be the most knowledgable about the academies, but feel free to message me, and I would love to direct you to the corresponding leaders ~ That's about it from me! Hope to see everyone around whether through messages, forums, or chatrooms ~ My Availability: Green - I am online for both member and listener-related chats. Orange - I am only online for listener-related chats but may be in-and-out (response time: 30 minutes). Red - I am most likely roaming the forum area, working on another project, or logged out! Feel free to leave a message, and I'll get back to you soon! To everyone:  My private message response time is now N/A days! If I do not respond within a week, please send me another message, and I apologize in advance. My account is also prone to several 7 cups bugs, so there will be times where I am unable to send messages, and I usually update in my bio when that happens. Additionally, please note that if I am around in a particular area (chatrooms, forums, or private messages), it does not mean that I will be active in another area. Thank you for understanding! ⭐︎ About Me ⭐︎  Pronouns are she/her/hers Personality type is INFJ-T (advocate) Interests are music (cello, R&B), swim, bullet-journaling, google sheets :), daydreaming, tv shows/dramas Time Zone: GMT-5 (EST). Feel free to convert your times here [https://rarelycharlie.github.io/7cupstime]!

A LITTLE BIT ABOUT ME Hello! I am Parvi or more commonly known as Orange, and I am 19 this year. I hope it's going great currently, but if it's not, my inbox is always open for a chat. In the past, I have gone through a couple of rough patches, but I have learned a lot about myself throughout the journey towards recovery. If you would like to chat with me, it is best if you could use my booking form here, https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeG03YJxglhAK1MxnQN-DPHZfeBdxcCT_8vWHn1M1Tpm5gO9A/viewform?usp=sf_link. Thank you! Pronouns: she/her MY LISTENING STYLE  I enjoy asking questions. My listening style mainly revolves around open-ended questions. I love to help you figure out what you need by asking questions that would help. Sometimes we may not be a match, and that's completely okay. Feel free to just inform me if you feel that I may not be the best choice for you, and I would love to help look for another listener that could be a better match. During the chat, if you do feel that I may have mentioned something that isn't right, feel free to correct me on the spot! Also, please do not ask me for my personal information or any advice as those are against the guidelines. If you continue to ask me these things, I may have to end the chat after 3 warnings.  MY WEAKNESSES As a person who prioritises quality over many other aspects, I think it's only fair for me to also address my weaknesses and how I am working on them. Firstly, I would like to address my response times. I do have quite an uncertain schedule, so I may disappear in the middle of a chat. I have also recently been facing many technical issues due to my unstable internet connection. On that note, I am trying to improve my response timings as well as I am working on my internet quality. If you feel I may have not responded for more than 48 hours, feel free to send me a second pm. I would also like to note that my status colour is a great indicator of my activity. It is usually on Orange, which means I am around Cups, but I am not taking any member chats. If you pm me while my status indicates I am busy, please do not expect a response immediately. Another aspect I am currently working on is my reflection. I may not be very good at this and if you are looking for a listener with great reflection skills, I may not be the best choice. I am currently practising more of my reflection skills in hopes that one day I could reach the point where I could say I am great at it.  MY ROLES Group Support Mentor Leader Safety Patroller Listener Check-Ins PA Peer Supporter Listener Verifier Doorkeeper Translations Team Leader for the Malay Language Support Team Teen Star for the Eating Disorder Sub-Community Teen Community Star for the Eating Disorders Sub-Community Chat Supporter Community Moderator for Safety and Knowledge Sub Community  Team Leader for the Teen Listeners' Daily Check-ins Project Agent for the Teen Listeners Room STATUS MEANING Green - Available to chat with members/listeners Orange - Busy doing some work here on 7 Cups Red - Offline and not available to chat
