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.

And he always answered: I believe in the God of Spinoza. Baruch de Spinoza was a Dutch philosopher considered one of the great rationalists of 17th century philosophy, along with Descartes. According to Spinoza, God would say: ā€œStop praying. I want you to go out into the world and enjoy your life. I want you to sing, have fun and enjoy everything I've made for you. ā€œStop going into those dark, cold temples that you built yourself and saying they are my house. My house is in the mountains, in the woods, rivers, lakes, beaches. That's where I live and there I express my love for you. ā€œStop blaming me for your miserable life; I never told you there was anything wrong with you or that you were a sinner, or that your sexuality was a bad thing. Sex is a gift I have given you and with which you can express your love, your ecstasy, your joy. So don't blame me for everything that others made you believe. ā€œStop reading alleged sacred scriptures that have nothing to do with me. If you can't read me in a sunrise, in a landscape, in the look of your friends, in your son's eyesā€”you will find me in no book! ā€œStop asking me, ā€˜Will you tell me how to do my job?ā€™ Stop being so scared of me. I do not judge you or criticize you, nor get angry or bothered. I am pure love. ā€œStop asking for forgiveness, there's nothing to forgive. If I made you, I filled you with passions, limitations, pleasures, feelings, needs, inconsistencies, and best of all, free will. Why would I blame you if you respond to something I put in you? How could I punish you for being the way you are, if I'm the one who made you? Do you think I could create a place to burn all my children who behave badly for the rest of eternity? What kind of god would do that? ā€œRespect your peers, and don't give what you don't want for yourself. All I ask is that you pay attention in your lifeā€”alertness is your guide. ā€œMy beloved, this life is not a test, not a step on the way, not a rehearsal, not a prelude to paradise. This life is the only thing here and nowā€”and it is all you need. ā€œI have set you absolutely free, no prizes or punishments, no sins or virtues, no one carries a marker, no one keeps a record. You are absolutely free to create in your life. Itā€™s you who creates heaven or hell. ā€œLive as if there is nothing beyond this life, as if this is your only chance to enjoy, to love, to exist. Then you will have enjoyed the opportunity I gave you. And if there is an afterlife, rest assured that I won't ask if you behaved right or wrong, I'll ask, ā€˜Did you like it? Did you have fun? What did you enjoy the most? What did you learn?ā€™ ā€œStop believing in me; believing is assuming, guessing, imagining. I don't want you to believe in me, I want you to believe in you. I want you to feel me in you when you kiss your beloved, when you tuck in your little girl, when you caress your dog, when you bathe in the sea. ā€œStop praising me. What kind of egomaniac God do you think I am? I'm bored with being praised. I'm tired of being thanked. Feeling grateful? Prove it by taking care of yourself, your health, your relationships, the world. Express your joy! That's the way to praise me. ā€œStop complicating things and repeating as a parrot what you've been taught about me. Why do you need more miracles? So many explanations? ā€œThe only thing for sure is that you are here, that you are alive, that this world is full of wonders.ā€ āœæŚæŚ°Ū£ā€” John Roedel (author): ā€œMe:Ā Hey God. God:Ā Hello. Me: I'm falling apart. Can you put me back together? God: I would rather not.Ā Me:Ā Why? God:Ā Because you aren't a puzzle. Me:Ā What about all of the pieces of my life that are falling down onto the ground?Ā God:Ā Let them stay there for a while. They fell off for a reason. Take some time and decide if you need any of those pieces back. Me:Ā You don't understand! I'm breaking down! God:Ā No - you don't understand. You are breaking through. What you are feeling are just growing pains. You are shedding the things and the people in your life that are holding you back. You aren't falling apart. You are falling into place. Relax. Take some deep breaths and allow those things you don't need anymore to fall off of you. Quit holding onto the pieces that don't fit you anymore. Let them fall off. Let them go. Me:Ā Once I start doing that, what will be left of me? God:Ā Only the very best pieces of you. Me:Ā I'm scared of changing. God:Ā I keep telling you -Ā You Aren't Changing!! You Are Becoming! Me:Ā Becoming who? God:Ā Becoming who I created you to be! A person of light and love and charity and hope and courage and joy and mercy and grace and compassion. I made you for more than the shallow pieces you have decided to adorn yourself with that you cling to with such greed and fear. Let those things fall off of you. I love you! Don't change! ... Become! Become! Become who I made you to be. I'm going to keep telling you this until you remember it. Me:Ā There goes another piece. God: Yep. Let it be. Me: So ... I'm not broken? God:Ā Of course not! - but you are breaking like the dawn. It's a new day.

The purpose there was for each individual voice to contribute to collective decisions for the benefit of the group. š“‡¢š“†øIĀ believe that in sharing our personal wisdom, support and validation, the group as a whole is enriched greatly and balance and equality are created and respected. š“‡¢š“†øEach voice gets the chance to be heard, and in turn, each person develops their own voice. š“‡¢š“†øBy listening to each voice and incorporating each of our personal wisdom, we can integrateĀ the insights and lived experience of others into our own mentality and coping mechanisms, and become better able to manage theĀ stresses of modern society. š“‡¢š“†øTrying a new approach, or seeing something from another perspective, sometimes gives the fresh air necessary to breathe on old thinking and rustle it up to give energy for movement and growth. š“‡¢š“†øWe also can learn new vocabulary to describe our emotions and become more emotionally literate.Ā ForĀ some of us, learning the vocabulary of the heart is a big journey. š“‡¢š“†øMuch personal growth can be attained when up to 7Ā minutes of focused sharing timeĀ is applied consistently and regularly towards internal sorting, and when the same person who is sharing is also learning to support others. š“‡¢š“†øThe cohesion of the Sharing Circle group can lend a feeling of community strength that may not be possible individually. š“‡¢š“†øThis link is about the origin of Sharing Circles within the groups of Indigenous Peoples: https://ravenspeaks.ca/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/Sharing_Circle_Instructions_SECONDARY.pdf š“‡¢š“†øHere's an article about Sharing Circles and the possibility for restorative justice through them: https://passthefeather.ca/sharing-circles/?v=e4b09f3f8402 š“‡¢š“†øFinally, there are some strong theoretical principles from group therapy that are taught through groups like the Sharing Circle.

Our Father is using in your life the same power that He used to raise Me from the dead. This Resurrection Power is what will allow the old you to die off and the new you to be reborn into my likeness. Trust Him to complete what He has begun." (Eph 1:19) ā™”Ā (^=Ėƒį†ŗĖ‚)Ā š“‡¢š“†ø ā™”šŸŒ¹Advice for Strangers on: Life:Ā The only thing predictable about Life, is that Life is Unpredictable. Grasp Life firmly, Ride the Waves, Hang on Tight for the Ride. Peace is worth working for with your Whole Life. We can all co-exist and share. Letā€™s do this. Prayer is under-rated in its Power to soothe, heal and calm the stresses of Everyday.Ā  Love:Ā Love Big. Love Always. The more Love you Deliver, you will receive Three-fold and more. The Universe is basically composed of Love actualized into a material form. Love Little. Love with small gestures of kindness. Wipe the dishes. Take care of the trash. Wash someoneā€™s feet, with their permission of course. Give your loved one a back rub. Do something nice without expecting them to notice. God notices. Finance:Ā Be frugal. Live simply within your means. Laugh often. Share. Donā€™t let money or the lack thereof stand in between you and your Splendid Dreams. Money is simply a construct and a tool. Money will come your way once you open the flow within yourself to receive the abundance that is waiting for you. Help People.Ā  Education:Ā Attain the very highest degree you can. Strive! A degree is something no one can ever take away from you. Your knowledge and skills are woven into your very essence. You will learn how to think without being attached to your thoughts. Rich discussions ensue. Life is more fun. The whole of the World awaits you. From Calm Rosebud for Benittaā€™s book. š“‡¢š“†ø ā€œUntil one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back. Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one's favor all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamed would have come his way. Whatever you can do, or dream you can do, begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it. Begin it now.ā€Ā  William Hutchinson Murray ā™”Ā (^=Ėƒį†ŗĖ‚)Ā š“‡¢š“†øĀ  ā€œYearsĀ ago, anthropologist Margaret Mead was asked by a student what sheĀ considered to be the first sign of civilization in a culture. TheĀ student expected Mead to talk about fishhooks or clay pots or grindingĀ stones. "ButĀ no. Mead said that the first sign of civilization in an ancient cultureĀ was a femur (thighbone) that had been broken and then healed. MeadĀ explained that in the animal kingdom, if you break your leg, you die.Ā You cannot run from danger, get to the river for a drink or hunt forĀ food. You are meat for prowling beasts. No animal survives a broken legĀ long enough for the bone to heal. "AĀ broken femur that has healed is evidence that someone has taken time toĀ stay with the one who fell, has bound up the wound, has carried theĀ person to safety and has tended the person through recovery. HelpingĀ someone else through difficulty is where civilization starts, Mead said. "We are at our best when we serve others.ā€Ā  āœæŚæŚ°Ū£ā€”šŸŒ¹ Mother Teresa'sĀ AnywayĀ Poem People are often unreasonable, illogical and self centered;Ā Forgive them anyway. If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives;Ā Be kind anyway. If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies;Ā Succeed anyway. If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you;Ā Be honest and frank anyway. What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight;Ā Build anyway. If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous;Ā Be happy anyway. The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow;Ā Do good anyway. Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough;Ā Give the world the best you've got anyway. You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and your God;Ā It was never between you and them anyway.

Hello! I had surgery on 4/9/2024. Recovery has taken me longer than I had hoped. I will be taking additional time to rest and recover because my health is my priority right now. I currently cannot respond to messages right away. I hope to be back soon! Thank you for your understanding!ā™„ļø šŸ’–Hi therešŸ’– I am so glad youā€™re here, and that you feel able to share things that may be difficult for you to open up about. Iā€™m here to listen and be a shoulder to lean on when you need it the most. Sometimes just being there for someone is enough. This is a no-judgement zone. I have had a lot of direct-lived experiences with mental and physical health issues, and completely understand what it is like to be misunderstood or unheard and having no one to turn to. Feeling alone and isolated in your own body is extremely hard. However, Iā€™ve discovered over time that this actually tends to be when you need the support the most. Please let me be that person for you during these difficult moments.ā¤ļø I want you to be able to feel comfortable talking with me, but if you feel like I am not understanding you correctly and you would prefer to talk to someone else, I completely understand and would not take this personally. Please just let me know as I will be able to recommend someone for you and your specific needs. I have some personal triggers relating to medical topics, but I will be sure to let you know during the chat if this is the case at any point. I appreciate your understanding with this. I am studying at university right now and it can get pretty hectic at times. Whilst I am fast to respond when I am online, this will not be the case for the rest of the day.

Hello everyone! My name is Xaverie. My pronouns are she/her. It's nice to meet you!Ā  I have decided to join this community to offer emotional support to struggling individuals and make a difference in people's lives. I am deeply passionate about psychology and learning about nonverbal language. My hobbies include writing; reading; singing; watching horror/mystery TV series; and sometimes sketching. My favorite color is wine red (as you can probably tell), and I absolutely love savory food! šŸŒ¹āœØ So far, I am a Verified Listener! I am working hard to acquire different skills and interact with as many community members as possible. If you are a Member who is interested in texting me for support, then please read the following!:Ā  ā™« I am comfortable with all topics except Domestic Violence, Sexual Health,Ā and Sexual Abuse. Please refer to other listeners if you are encountering any problem related to these topics. We are here for you! šŸ„°šŸ’– ā™« My texting style is very formal, and I am interested in supporting others by typing them paragraphs. However, I ask every Member at the beginning of our conversation if text walls trigger them. Kindly answer the question truthfully so that I can adjust my texts and make you feel convenient while we are progressing through the conversation. I highly appreciate your collaboration. šŸ’ž ā™« For any Member who is reading this, all my texts will show empathy, validation, and support. You are welcome to discuss any matters with me, so long as you avoid the topics that I don't feel comfortable discussing! Additionally, I sometimes send videos or websites related to your problem so that you can have a wider perspective of it and think of solutions. šŸ˜Š ā™« I hope that you don't send me short responses like "ok", "yeah", "sure", "idk", etc. If I ask you any thought-provoking answer and you don't have a definite answer to it, please inform me so that I can ask simpler questions. However, please do not be too brief because I am here to understand your problems and help you. I would appreciate even the slightest elaboration! šŸ˜šŸŒ· A message to anyone reading this:Ā  Life isn't meant to be a linear path. Sometimes, you have to reach the peak of a mountain of success only to find yourself drowning in mistakes once more. That is completely alright, and it does not define your intelligence or worth. You are completely valid, in this community and everywhere you go. You are worthy of support, attention, and a listening ear. You are a very strong individual, and there is nothing that can stop you from proving your power to everyone. I am immensely proud of you because I know that you are trying your best. Keep your head up, and don't lower it for temporary problems! I believe in you. šŸ’—šŸ’— ā€œHe who knows no hardships will know no hardihood. He who faces no calamity will need no courage. Mysterious though it is, the characteristics in human nature which we love best grow in a soil with a strong mixture of troubles.ā€Ā  Harry EmersonĀ

Hi! I'm glad you've found me on 7 Cups of Tea. I'm a trained active listener and I like to support people struggling with relationship issues, family problems or friendship. I enjoy reading novels, watching comedy films, cracking jokes to cheer people up but above all I derive pleasure in seeing someone happy and influenced positively by my actions. I've overcome a lot in life and would like to help by listening to you. If I'm online then feel free to start a chat. If I'm offline, then send me a message and we can set up a time to connect. Maximum chat limit is 1 hour. Glad you are here!
