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.

!!!ON A BREAK!!! Hello World!!! Often we are lost in the path we choose or the path that life has put us into and it can make us feel a mix of emotions traumas which cannot be put up into mere words, draining the very core of our life force. And if we just let all this happen to us it will keep happening over and over until we camouflage ourselves with this way of life. This unending chaos can only end if we from the very core of our heart decide and act to see through it conquer it and make our life out of it. It all starts from within us and only us. We have 2 lives and the second life begins when we realize that we only have 1.

Hello, my name is Jem 🤗 I am a 29 year old mum of 2 Jumping Spiders 🕷️ and a Verified Listener here on 7 Cups. I'm glad you've found me lovelies 🥰   My Roles include: 🌸Adult Listener 🌸 Forum Supporter I leave no room for judgement! Everyone who speaks with me will be accepted - no exceptions 💜   Why I'm here Many people ask me why I'm here and give my time to complete strangers, and I'm happy to explore this further � One of my biggest passions is helping others through any issue they may have. When you feel secluded, it can be overwhelming. I want to avoid anyone feeling this way 😊   When I experienced the dark times of life, I didn't have a safe space to vent and express myself. I therefore understand the need for a site like this, and want to give back as much as possible 🥰   Personal Requests I take these incredibly seriously, and will continue to give my best when I receive them. I do however, get quite a few, so please be patient with me 💟 For this reason, understand that replies to messages sometime take a while - it does NOT mean I'm ignoring you! I'm simply trying to get to you all 💗   Who to contact if I'm not available: �Gracey - 7cups.com/@Gracey   Everyone deserves a chance at happiness. Why not let it be YOU? 💕

ON A SELF-CARE BREAK Zendagi Migzara- life goes on, regardless.  I'm a 23 year old artist. Been through some ups and downs in life. I know how it feels when you think your world is falling apart and no one is there with you. But remember you aren't alone and there is nothing in life that can't be resolved.  I hope that I can be of any help in your darkest of times.🕊 "If you knew the extent of what a person had to endure to have the impact, empathy and outlook they have today, you wouldn't be intimidated. You would be empowered." -Morgan Richard Olivier Life is like an ever-evolving canvas, and we have the power to create something truly extraordinary. Just like how brushstrokes and paints come together to create a beautiful painting, the experiences and choices in life combine to form our unique journey. Each brushstroke represents a moment, and each paint color represents a decision, shaping the overall picture of who we are. It's the combination of these elements that adds depth and richness to our lives. So, let's keep painting and embracing the beauty of our own unique masterpiece! 🎨😊

I love deep philosophical talks about love, life and everything in between. Let's chat! ~~Self-composed poems for the soul~~  (PS: Hope they empower you through your journey 😇) ------------------------- Shadow of a Shadow ------------------------- Behind everyone lie great many secrets From suffocating truths to illicit thoughts Portrayal of the shadow's heart But why make matters bleak? An angel layered beside us at odd times Forever companion hidden in the dark Not lost but assimilated with The world beckoning at our steps A handy watch varying in size Sun's projections sticking to our feet Giving us a moment to reflect Faceless we are in this grand scheme Liberating feelings that we shun Acceptance and guidance it ever asks See to it as it sees looking up to you For your shadow's shadow is you ------------------------- A Car with no Propane ------------------------- Journey to discover My one true gas station That would fill me up With her best grade of love Pumping in the fuel, she does And out it goes to waste Needless losses and vain attempts Revving my engines again and again "You are beyond repair, sir Fifteen Hundred dollars is the bill Please come back for our services We aim to please and assist" But what good is an automobile If it cannot carry its own burdens Away from all the destinations Sinking in a rust of troubles A hollowed frame No room to contain Wild leaves and algae Greet me with a deep embrace Parts chopped, spanners drop To fit in with others Drilled holes show no signs to stop An everlasting misery at this auto shop I could give it a try Be part of their journeys Fulfilling my purpose Hanging onto their glories Far be it for me Living this life from scratch However, here I am In this gas station one more time ------------------------- Billboards ------------------------- Erecting tall rods, Flashing short forms, Masking the space, Shadows on long walks Projecting projects, Coercing subjects, Curtaining the mess, High and Mighty yells, "Behold you cheap, You flinging garbage, Take note of me and This endless vastness" Posters hanging, Speakers blaring, All mean the same, To deaf washing pave Maddened statues, Agonized by truths, Tethered to grovel, Designed for rooks Fickle flickers in fear, Crowing cries in tears, Shrouded by bush, The Tiny wonders, "Who was I, if not, the skies behind, Boundless in shape, Bountiful in sights" Cosmos writhe, Asteroids awry, All mean the same, To rocks turning pave -------------------------
