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 I am glad to be a 7 cups listener. I am interested in nature, animals, books. And have expertise in learning disabilities and creative writing as a healing tool. And if you just want to talk about yourself and the world, I would be glad to join a conversation. I believe that - It takes the same amount of energy to think a positive thought as it takes to think a negative thought. Choose the Positive,

My name is Shneur, and I'm currently a 21-year-old college student working on active-listening skills and trying to help out others. I really want to work in clinical therapy, specializing in helping individuals suffering from Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD). I personally know how devastating the disorder can be, and I want to do my part to ease the pain of those suffering from it. I'm a proud Orthodox Jew, but I'm still completely comfortable talking with anyone of any faith, or lack thereof. I love jogging, studying the Talmud, hanging out with my friends, reading fiction novels, learning new languages, speaking Esperanto, and playing Settlers of Catan. Looking forward to chatting with you! Feel free to leave me a message to chat or set up a time to chat. Feel free to call me Shneur if you’d like! I currently speak/partially speak/am learning the following languages to some degree/fluently (I love casual chats about linguistics, so if that's an interest of yours, I'd love to hear about it!). As a result, I can provide full support in the first three languages (English, Hebrew, and Esperanto) and minimal/technical support (such as directing you to a listener who speaks your language fluently) in the other six: I speak English fluently! (English) 🇺🇸 אני מדבר עברית כשפה שנייה (עברית - Hebrew) 🇮🇱 Mi parolas Esperanton flue kaj ŝategus uzi ĝin ĉi tie kun membroj, kiuj scias ĝin! (Esperanto) Yo hablo un poco de Español (Español - Spanish) 🇪🇸 J'apprends le Français et Je sais un petit peu! (Français - French) 🇫🇷 איך רעד א ביסל יידיש! (יידיש - Yiddish) ✡️ Ich sprache ein bisschen Deutsch! (Deutsch - German) 🇩🇪 Я говорю немного Русского Языка, и я могу его читать и писать! (Русский - Russian) 🇷🇺 I specialize particularly in discussing spirituality, student life, relationship stress, and family stress. Additionally, I am experienced in chatting about OCD and general anxiety as someone who has it and understands how it feels. OCD can be an extremely debilitating and frightening disorder - if you feel you might be or are suffering from OCD/obsessive thinking, I would be happy to chat about it with you. In addition to OCD, I also have much personal experience with general anxiety and panic attacks. I particularly specialize in these areas (OCD and anxiety/panic attacks).שתהיה כל הפעילות שלי כאן לזכר נשמות נחמן דניאל בן אריה צבי ז"ל שנפטר יום ל"ג בעומר ה'תשפ"א ודניאל מאיר בן מרים ז"ל שנפטר בראש חודש תמוז - שיתעלו נשמותיהם בגן עדן במנוחה המתאימה לצדקותם Please Note - I am not available to chat about sexual topics of any kind with non-male members. I apologize if this is to anyone's inconvenience.  In Memory of Nachman Daniel ben Aryeh Tzvi z"l, who passed away on April 30th, 2021 and of Daniel Meir ben Yisrael z"l, who passed away on June 11th, 2021 - May Their Memories Be Blessed Important Things to Keep in Mind - You will not face judgment of any kind in our chats - I will respect you and your feelings - I will ensure your confidentiality - none of your details or the content of our chats will ever be traceable back to you, and you can remain 100% anonymous - You are free to share anything and everything you like - save for expressions of bigotry and intolerance, inappropriate sexual talk, and intentionally offensive uses of language - I will not be providing advice - this is because only you know your situation best. I can ask you guiding questions and we can work together based on them to possibly figure out a proper plan moving forward! - I will listen to you compassionately and attentively. - 7cups is not a crisis resource. If you are in crisis (having thoughts/intentions of suicide or are currently harming yourself), please contact crisis resources here [https://help.7cups.com/hc/en-us/articles/360026238093-Crisis] or contact emergency services if you are in an immediate medical emergency. - I value you, all of you, with your strengths and weaknesses too! Quotes I Love! אם תירצו, אין זו אגדה - If you will it, it is no mere dream - Theodore Herzl It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat. -  President Theodore Roosevelt 🇮🇱לדוברי עברית🇮🇱  שלום וברוכים הבאים לפרופיל שלי! קוראים לי שניאור, ואני תלמיד בישיבה בישראל. דעו שאתם לא לבדכם למרות איך שתרגישו, כי אני אנסה תמיד להיות שם בשבילכם! להגיד קצת על עצמי (כדי שהשיחות שלנו יהיו רק עליכם!), אני בן 20, תלמיד בישיבה ומתרגש להמשיך את הלימודים שלי בשנים הבאות ולהיות רב ופסיכולוג! אני יהודי דתי גאה, אבל אין זה משפיע על היכולת והנוחות שלי לדבר עם אנשים מכל מקום, של כל דת, גזע, או מוצא - כולם מתקבלים כאן! אני מתמחה באלה התחומים הבאים: חרדה כללית, הט"כ (הפרעה טורדנית-כפייתית), רוחניות, חיי תלמיד, לחץ ביחסים, ולחץ במשפחה. אני יכול לשוחח איתכם על כל נושא שתירצו, אבל אני מתנצל, אני לא זמין לדבר על התעללות/אלימות במשפחה.  הערה חשובה: כמישהו שסבל וממשיך לסבול מהפרעה טורדנית-כפייתית, אני מנוסה במיוחד בשיחות על הנושא הזה. אם אתם סובלים גם ממחשבות אובססיביות או כפיות, אני מזמין אתכם לשוחח עליהן איתי במרחב בטוח ונוח למי שרוצה לשוחח איתי בעברית בבקשה להודיע לי אם את/ה זכר או נקבה כדי שאוכל להשתמש בכינויי הגוף המתאימים לך. תוכלו לעשות את זה בטופס לקביעת פגישות שתמצאו בראש תיאור הפרופיל שלי. אני מתרגש לשוחח איתך :).

💬 Verified Listener 💬 Fluent in : English , Hebrew and French TALKING is one of the fastest, safest and most effective ways to reduce conflict, reduce anxiety, strengthen emotional connection and increase emotion ------------------------- 💎Spiritual person with a very open heart and mind. ❤️❤️❤️❤️ 💎We are all here trying to make sense in this world of who we are , what we want  and how to achieve it. 🙏🙏🙏🙏 💎We are all unique creatures and we all need love , kindness and compassion to live healthy meaningful lives. ☀️☀️☀️☀️ 💎Personal growth comes from listening to people and relating to who they are and what can I do to help them achieve their goals 🎎🎎🎎🎎 ------------------------- Finding your Passionate and Purpose in life Does it ever seem to you that everyone around you has found out what their passion and purpose is ? You , on the other hand, feel paralyzed not knowing what you are passionate about or you haven't found your purpose. Maybe you’re not sure what your purpose or passion is? Do you constantly ask yourself if you’re even meant to do something on this  Earth? Vica - versa you have so many interests that you don’t know which you should be focusing on and where to prioritise? If you relate to this and it peaks your interest , know that you are not alone we all have been through this. One of my biggest fears as a young man, I was afraid that I’ll end up living a purposeless life. Hoping that someday, my passion and purpose will reveal itself. What I lacked in my youth to realise back then that nobody will come to rescue me and show me the correct path. It was all up to me to push forward and set up my goals to reach these passions and purpose.   Learning to diversify When you diversify your time and derive meaning from different areas such as  hobbies, interests, passions, and purposes you get a bigger picture of leading your path . Your passions will also change as you mature since we priorities different roles at different points in our life. We shift our priorities and focus on what’s important at a particular moment in time.  When looking to reach a passion and purpose the most important state of mind should be to do the most you can.  In essence that is the very definition of being a really passionate person. It would be more beneficial to generate passion rather than wait for passion to come  knocking at your door. Choose your  passionate by the things that excite you. Put into the project you choose your heart and soul.  "We don’t lack things to be passionate about, but we do lack the energy to become passionate without the ability to decide on the right course of action.
