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.

Hello there! Thank you for checking out my profile. I'm Dream, a listener here since January 2020. I'm here to provide a safe and non judgmental place for you to share your thoughts or feelings.ย  Unfortunately I'm not able to take 1-1 support chats currently. Please clickย here [https://www.7cups.com/BrowseListeners/]ย to view other available listeners. Some topics I'm more suited to provide support includes depression, anxiety, panic attacks, self-harm, student life and a few other I've mentioned in the 'categories' session below. Please note that I do not take any chats on sexual health or related topics. Thank you for understanding! I believe that personal development and self-improvement is a life long journey of trial and error. We are all work in progress and we all deserve respect and understanding in the process of self-discovery. ------------------------- What I do on 7cups: Adult-Teen Listener Academy Ambassador (LDP) ------------------------- My listener twins: @positivePumpkin22 and @lueurspace

(Updated, current month 2024) โค๏ธย *on a break*ย โค๏ธย  ------------------------- Response Time/ PM-land access:ย  ๐ŸŒป Members:ย  New Member Chats: I'm completely unavailable for new members. (Members I've never talked to before whether new or old on cups)ย  Regular/ Recurring/ Old Member Chats: People I've talked to/ supported over a committed time frame, I love to hear updates from you, and am happy to see your messages. But please know that I'm unavailable for LIVE chats and can only reply offline, when I'm able to. (Responses may be several days delayed) So whether you're a new member or someone I've talked to before, if you need Live/ Immediate/ Urgent/ Regular/ Long-term support chat, please reach out to another available listener in cups.ย  You deserve prompt support, which I cannot offer, for an unforeseeable time! โค ๐ŸŒป Listeners:ย  I'm available for Peer Support and Chat Support only when I've accepted your request either through Chat Support/ Peer Supporter request forms or in the LSR, so please before messaging me for any of it, ask me in the room, as otherwise I may not be available to respond timely! Mentees/ Coachees: I'm so proud of you for trying your best to improve as a listener, and happy to hear any updates from you!ย  I'm typically unavailable for Live chats, and offline responses may vary, feel free to drop your questions though, if not too urgent, and I'll respond as soon as possible!ย  If you need a live chat, let me know a little in advance, mentioning the topic for the chat/ kind of support needed, your time/ availability in ET pr cups-time and hopefully, we can schedule for a live chat sometime!ย  Not available for any personal chats/ PMs unless stated/ agreed to otherwise. (Due to a high influx of messages, I'm unable to prioritize replying to messages with just a "hey/hi/ greeting", thank you for greeting me, but please do share a bit about "what" you're reaching out for, whether as a listener or a member, as it helps me understand how to respond better and faster. Messages with only "hey/ hi/ greetings" are missed often.)ย  I'll be around, in the forums and chatrooms when I can though, feel welcome to tag me in your posts or replies, happy to see you! ๐Ÿฅฐ I've sadly not been getting notifications for all the tags lately, apologies if missed your tag. Feel free to send another tag or a personal message, if needed.ย  (I know) Extremely slow response rate: I'm on a break from several activities/roles here, but have been catching up with PMs and tags as much as possible. Responses will be slow and delayed, your patience is appreciated. Send a follow-up, if I missed your important message or if you need an urgent reply. <3 Support shouldn't be delayed, so I highly recommend browsing for other listeners when you need some emotional support. Please remember you are awesome and not alone here. โค Stay great and take good care, everyone.ย  ย Response time for all my current (regular) members/ listeners (and mentees) would vary as I am not logging in here regularly as earlier, I apologize ifย messages are delayed.ย  Send a follow-up, if needed. Thank you for understanding, YOU do come first and there's plenty of support available at all times, please do find an amazing currently active listenerย  HERE [https://www.7cups.com/BrowseListeners/], and I hope you receive the best support available! ๐Ÿ’– ------------------------- Hello, Amazing Human, Welcoming hugs and high fives and cookies for you! (Take what you need hehe) I am Sun, Thank you for finding me here, I understand life isn't always smooth sailing, we all have our ups and downs. I know I won't be able to solve all your problems, but problems shared are problems halved, right? Or even if not halved, I do feel sharing can help reduce the burden of overwhelming thoughts and feelings in your mind ~ your mind is not a notepad, it shouldn't be a place to "store" thoughts and feelings ~ share away, your mind deserves to feel lighter and better and so do *you*ย ... Besides being a trained verified listener here, I can offer you a kind, empathetic and non-judgmentalย ear and help you guide through these dark times. Feel free to Talk/ Share/ Vent and I'll be more than happy to listen to you, provide you with a safe and comfortable space and help you feel better in any way I can. Please do keep in mind that I can't and won't advise you, I can help you guide through the roads, but the steering wheel will always be in your hand and the direction to choose will always be your decision solely since you know your journey and your destination, the best. Rest assured, you've got your passenger seat covered for any support and encouragement always!ย  I am a persun who believes in the power of sharing smiles, happiness, kindness, encouragement, hope and positivity And I would love to share these with you too if you allow me to (always at your pace and comfort of course).๐ŸŒป I am pretty respectful and polite to everyone and personally do not use any offensive language including any kind of passive-aggressive/ provoking remarks, so would certainly expect and appreciate the same from you. Everyone deserves basic respect and decency!ย ๐Ÿ’› ย People looking for inappropriate sexual chats and/ or interested in making any sexual advances towards me~ this is an emotional support platform ~ and we do *not* entertain such kinds of conversations here. Please refrain from sending any messages, if you're here for any reason other than seeking emotional support, thankyou. I don't take chats on topics such as chronic pain, panic attacks, sexual health and self-harm. Feel free to browse other amazing listeners for these topics and those not listed under "categories"ย HERE [https://www.7cups.com/BrowseListeners/].ย โคย  ๐Ÿ’›If you are currently having crisis thoughts (active or passive, or actively harming yourself) *offers hugs*, I know how terrible it can be to be in this hopeless situation, please however respect our boundaries as a listener, our limits and that 7 cups is not a crisis platform, we do care and therefore ask you to reach out to relevant channels of support.

You may not believe it at the moment, but you are *not* unworthy of living, you are not taking space unnecessarily, you are not your current situation neither your current thoughts.

You owe it to *yourself*. ๐Ÿ’› The topics I am comfortable providing support for include general mental health struggles, getting unstuck, managing emotions, student life-related topics, friendship/ relationship/ family stress, social anxiety, self-esteem issues etc. and more are listed below, under categories! Feel freeย to send a message if you see me online (green status) and I will get back to you as soon as I can, we can then schedule a time and day for a chat or agree upon offline messaging, whichever is more comfortable and suitable for us.ย ๐Ÿค— At Last, remember that you are not alone, your mental health is important, you are a brave person to seek support,ย  you are here and I am proud of you for that.ย  If you give me a chance I'll try my best to be there for you, to be there with you and remind you that even if the clouds appear to be very dark at any point in time,ย  theย Sun Is Shining And So Are Youuuu. ๐ŸŒป๐ŸŒž๐ŸŒป You are one Amazing human, you are important, you matter and You are deserving of kindness, happiness, support, love and all things amazing in life!

Hello everyone!ย  So glad to be here. I am a person who believes in listening to people. All my life i had been manifesting a person who could just hear me out and say, "I am with you". I want to be that person for you. I want to be the person you manifested, the person who can be there for you virtually and hold your hand through your hard times. I will try and be compassionate towards you and hopefully help you deal with your difficult situation and be there for you. Linkin Park once used this line in his song "who cares if one more light goes out, well I do" and that is why I am here. My roles here-:ย  Verified listener - Iย have been verified by the 7 cups team in being able to provide help to my membersย  Approved Adult-teen listener - I have access to the adult and the teen side so if you are a member/ listener from any side feel free to reach out to me Peer supporter - I am here for all the peer listeners after hard chat. You can reach out to me if you need support Chatroom mentorย - I ensure the listener rooms are supportive, resourceful and inclusive for all my fellow listeners and help listeners with ongoing chats Academy mentor for LDP and Internship- You can reach out to me for any queries regarding these programs Doorkeeper- I can open and close room doors, if you want a room to be closed/opened I am a message away *Not comfortable with sexual health chats and do not encourage rude chats so please do not text if that is the case.

ย (IMPORTANT if you are having anxiety, panic attack [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8xZ2L8il6W4] Now and I am offline please scroll to the bottom of this text to the section marked: ย ๐Ÿฌ) Hello, Thank You for checking my profile! I am Aria, nice to virtually meet You.ย  For me, it is significant that You feel comfortable and safe talking with me. I will be more than happy to do anything I can for us to talk in a friendly and trustful atmosphere. My purpose in 7Cups: I am here to listen to You because what you feel and think matters, [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=veEQQ-N9xWU&list=LL&index=43&t=8s] support You to the best of my ability,ย  be with You so You do not feel like You are alone and assist with figuring out steps in your situation.ย  (I will try to tell you the basic things about me which could be decisive for You to know before You start talking to someone) My personality:ย  I am a rational,ย  optimistic, and open-minded person. I do not have a 'judgment bone' :) ย For meย talking things out is often helpful in getting clarity andย identifying the best next step with any issue.ย  Do you know what is your Personality Type? ย You might enjoy finding it out >ย here [https://www.16personalities.com]<.ย I would love it if you drop me a line about what you have found out and how did it make you feel. My personality type is Protagonist A ย  โ€žโ€ฆProtagonists take a genuine interest in other people, approaching them with warm sociability and a helpful earnestness. They are valued for the capacity for insightful and inspiring communication and sensitivity to the needs of others.โ€™โ€™(16personalities.com [http://16personalities.com]) My Experience: I had a lot of challenging events in my life including, health issues, several relocations to another country, challenging relationships, school/work troubles, and war. All resulted in me being personally acquainted with anxiety, panicย attacks,ย sleep troubles, PTSD and personal crises. Those events transformed my life drastically, I became braver and changed my path. Me Now: ย I am checking the box 25-30 years old. At the moment, adjusting to a new period in my life, at a new place and trying to claim my authentic identity after major crises and learning about freshly diagnosed ADHD. ย Therefore, unfortunetly not as often on Cups as used to be. We all have periods in life when it is not easy to be 'present' in our own lives, but as Robert Frost once wrote: 'the best way out is always through'. This is especially true when battling a traumatic event.ย  Thank You for reading until this point, You are a very carrying soul! I hope it helped to get an idea if you feel like writing to me.ย  _________________________ โœจMy Active Roles: Chat Support Peer Support Doorkeeper Group Support Room Mentor Support Team Leader for Sharing Circle Listener Chatroom Supporter Listener Sharing Circle and Sharing Circle Host Safety Patrol My inactive roles: GLDD Academy Mentor Leader CDM Academy mentor Group Chat moderator in Anxiety Support, Relationships Support, Support Plus and Newbie Hub communities _________________________ (I trust my Tweensย can support you with issues that are out of my range) ย ย @alwaysindigo [https://www.7cups.com/@alwaysindigo] is my generous, devoted, and very gifted Tea Twin.ย  They are so electrifying and knowledgeable,ย  thanks to them I am on my way to speaking a new language.ย  Indigo [https://www.7cups.com/@alwaysindigo]has experience helping withย eating disorders [https://www.7cups.com/eating-disorder-help/],ย  self-harm [https://www.7cups.com/self-harm/],ย  bullying [https://www.7cups.com/bullying/], exercise motivation [https://www.7cups.com/how-to-get-motivated-to-exercise/],ย  forgiveness [https://www.7cups.com/forgiveness/],ย  [https://www.7cups.com/sleeping-well/]sleeping well [https://www.7cups.com/sleeping-well/] and others. @jovialButterfly6752 [https://www.7cups.com/@alwaysindigo] is my brain mirror image, sometimes it seems we absolutely, can communicate telepathically.
