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.

  READ BIO BEFORE MESSAGING. due to my roles and personal life, I may not always accept chat requests Browse Listeners [https://www.7cups.com/BrowseListeners] I only take *teen* chats. If you are an adult member, please reach out to somebody else. In order to chat with me, please schedule a time with me to do so (at least 24hrs before appointed time). I am usually available on Tuesdays, Thursdays and the weekends from 9am-1pm ET. important to know that chat sessions with me last anywhere from 30-40 minutes. 🌺 Hi there! Welcome to my page :) I am Kate, a young woman from a city in the northern area of Greece. I am a high school student, studying in the humanities field and am working towards studying psychology or English philology in university. I initially joined this site to get support in regards to my at the time relationship, and decided to also join as a Listener, doing exactly what I plan on having as my profession in a few years from now: be there for people. My main role here is to be there for you no matter what you go through, no matter how big or small it is. And no matter how many roles I take on on this site, I will still be here for you. For that is my main goal, my biggest contribution to this community. 🥰 Some of my hobbies include: dancing, writing, reading books (romance, fantasy, mythology and non-fiction), filming videos as well as taking pictures. 🌺 I am only available for supportive conversations on the topics listed on my profile. For any other topic, please contact another listener. Thank you! 🌺 My contribution to this community goes beyond being a Listener. Here are some other roles I have taken up: Verified Listener. I have been verified by the community for my commitment to active listening skills and quality chatting. That means the community expects of me to maintain professional, kind, open-minded and understanding towards you at all times. Chat Supporter. I am considered a listener who has expertise in the role of a listener and is eligible to provide specialized support to listeners on 7cups in regards to their role/supportive chat. Peer Supporter. I am considered a listener who is capable of listening to fellow listeners after a difficult chat with a member and provide support and show empathy to them after this tough situation they were in. Global Moderator. I ensure a welcoming and safe space for everyone in the member community chat rooms. I am found quite often there, especially in the Teen Community Chatroom. Pass by and say hi! Doorkeeper. I can open and close community rooms. If you need a room opened or closed, you are welcome to contact me. Chatroom Mentor/Teen Chatroom Star. I help moderate the 7 Cups listener chatrooms and support the listeners, too. Community Mentor Leader for the Relationship Stress community. I overview the Relationship Stress community and forums. Are you interested in joining the team? Let me know! Safety Patrol Team Member. I flag profiles that go against the website guidelines. 🌺 My status usually indicates: Green: I am online and ready to take a chat. Orange: I am online but busy, which means my responses will be slower. Red: I am offline. You can leave me an offline message during that time. Expected response time is 24-48 hours after your message is sent. If you receive no response within that time range, feel free to send me a message again (I may sometimes forget to respond, so excuse me for that :P) Message me and let's schedule a chat! 🌺 My amazing twins: @Antonio7Cups @starryWillow9852

(Updated, current month 2024) ❤️ *on a break* ❤️  ------------------------- Response Time/ PM-land access:  🌻 Members:  New Member Chats: I'm completely unavailable for new members. (Members I've never talked to before whether new or old on cups)  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.  You deserve prompt support, which I cannot offer, for an unforeseeable time! ❤ 🌻 Listeners:  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!  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!  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!  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.)  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! 🥰 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.  (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. ❤ Stay great and take good care, everyone.   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 if messages are delayed.  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 listener  HERE [https://www.7cups.com/BrowseListeners/], and I hope you receive the best support available! 💖 ------------------------- 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* ... Besides being a trained verified listener here, I can offer you a kind, empathetic and non-judgmental 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!  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).🌻 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! 💛  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" HERE [https://www.7cups.com/BrowseListeners/]. ❤  💛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 can find resources here:-  7cups.com/crisis, please do connect with a hotline. 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*. 💛 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 free 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. 🤗 At Last, remember that you are not alone, your mental health is important, you are a brave person to seek support,  you are here and I am proud of you for that.  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,  the Sun Is Shining And So Are Youuuu. 🌻🌞🌻 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 to the amazing person reading this. I'm here to help total strangers deal with all too familiar problems. If you just want someone to listen to you and understand you, I hope to be able to do that for you. Asking for help and speaking about our problems is really hard. So if you're here, you've already overcome a huge hurdle. So if you want to talk or just need someone to vent to, I'm here .This is a completely non- judgemental space, where you are accepted just the way you are because you are doing the best you can and that makes you all the more amazing .

Hello! I chose the picture of an apple because it represents to me growth and potential. The apple can grow to become the best apple it can be. I think we all have potential, and I also believe that most people are not solely good or bad- we are a combination of light and dark. That's just human nature. I've been here since 2013, and I am now in my 30s. I have always been told I'm a good listener and person to come to. People have come to me years after talking to them because they remembered I was someone to confide in. I like to think of myself as open minded, non judgmental, and compassionate. I try to be honest, but tactfully so. I find the best people in my life are those that tell me what I need to hear, not what I want to hear, and that is something I practice with others. I hope to be here for you, and I will cheerlead you on. I cannot give advice, but I will be a support for you. I take casual chats, so even if you're just bored or need someone to talk to and don't have a pressing issue, I am happy to talk to you.  My strengths lie in the subjects I have listed on my profile, so I will not be the best fit for everyone (and that is okay!). I hope everyone can get the help they need from whoever it is, even if it's not me. If I cannot help you, I will let you know and try to connect you with someone that can. I do the best with chats that can be asynchronous, as my schedule varies and I don't want to promise I can sit down for a real time chat if I cannot. That is unfair to both of us time wise, and time is a precious thing. Updated March 23, 2023 I have joined the admin team as a Quality Specialist for the volunteer community. I am still involved in all the things below, but as I am now involved widely across the site in different ways, if you need to know who to talk to regarding any of the below activities, please PM me and I will direct you to who you should talk to, whether it be me or someone else. If you have questions about anything Quality related, please PM me!

. . .  if you just say hi, do you really just want a hi back? Something to think about perhaps when approaching a listener for the first time. It is much more helpful for everyone to actually say something that can lead to a good listening experience. I am unable to take on new chats from members right now. Please understand and choose another listener instead. Don't forget to use the filter/search function to find a more suitable listener https://www.7cups.com/BrowseListeners/  "I am glad you have found me here at 7 Cups! I am happy to listen to you on many topics. I have experience in lots of different areas - anxiety, depression, and mental illness, families, and relationships, love, school, college, or work-related problems, financial stress, healthy living, food, and special diets, I can also offer support for chronic pain, illness, and disabilities. I am part of both the adult and the teen listening team, (and yes I can still remember being a teen lol) and I also offer long-term support to those that I can and who are in need. If I am not online then you are welcome to leave me a message -  but please tell me what you want to talk about so we can get off to a flying start. I will get back to you when I am next able, but please bear in mind that I get a lot of messages and I will reply to the most urgent first so if you just say hi, do you really just want a hi back? If you are a teen turning 18 soon then you can apply for one of the Teen Transitioning Team to reach out and support you through the transition from the teen side to the 18+ adult side.  The form is here ~~~> https://bit.ly/7CupsTTM [https://bit.ly/7CupsTTM] If you have any feedback or ideas for the Hobby Zone sub-community then please fill out this form ~~> https://bit.ly/7CupsHZform  At weekends my response will be slower as that is usually my time off from 7Cups, and I may not respond to any PMs or new requests till Monday. I  hope you understand that. We all need time for ourselves to recharge our batteries and relax.  ONE STEP AT A TIME "We all have different-sized footsteps that we leave behind on our journey through life. Sometimes we can change the size of our footsteps, the imprint, the impact, the direction. Sometimes our footsteps land on rock and they do not show, or they land on sand and stay for a while, Other times they get washed away by massive oceans or powerful waves. But each and every footstep is important in so many ways. Ways that we may not even know about. Watch your step, think about your steps, plan your next step, and the rest will follow."  Listening ... one step at a time Quote of Acceptance When we don't accept an undesired event, it becomes Anger, When we accept it, it becomes tolerance. When we don't accept uncertainty, it becomes fear, When we accept it, it becomes an adventure,  When we don't accept other's bad behavior toward us, it becomes hatred, When we accept it, it becomes forgiveness. When we don't accept other's success, it becomes jealousy When we accept it, it becomes an inspiration. Acceptance is the key to handling life well !! Butterflies are a symbol of hope that we can all change from a small brown grub into a beautiful amazing butterfly! One step at a time! "Those who never change their minds, never change anything!" (Winston S. Churchill) "Prepare for the worst, but hope for the best!"  (B. Disraeli) Pearls are a great symbol of the grace we create, for the oyster creates its greatest work of art from an irritant.

Bio in German/auf Deutsch [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1YWfxu7AqLNtqkRbzt_u5kePsWKYc6s4jVEkxXFrFdrk/edit] ------------------------- I'm currenty sick so I'll not be able to respond to you messages. Due to my health, I might be offline for some days without a warning from time to time. But don't worry, eventually I'll come back. ------------------------- About me Hey, I am audienta (they/them). I have been here on 7 Cups since 2017, so I have had the chance to gather a lot of experiences I am very grateful for. Sometimes life just does not work like we would like it to, but the conversations showed me again and again how resilient we as human beings are. My own mental and physical health have been challenging me for a while now. I have had to learn how to set boundaries and listen to my own needs. There are days when I can do that and there are others where it does not work. And that is okay. We all give our best to accept and live our life. I had the honour to be interviewed for the Living with Leaders series [https://www.7cups.com/forum/CommunityProjectsEvents_184/LivingwithLeaders_2290/InnerWisdomandLight_280987/], so if you want to know more about me, that might be an option. ------------------------- Offers and Boundaries My Offers: Trained, verified active Listener: I take 1-1 member chats which take between 30 and 60 minutes and listen to you. I am a patient and non-judgemental listener. I cannot give you advice, but I can ask questions and am open to offer peer support and share my experiences if you wish that. Adult Teen Listener: I can take chats from adults as well as from teens. Chat Topics that I have experience with and am okay to talk about: * Anxiety * Autism Spectrum Disorder * Bullying * Chronic Illness * Dissociative Disorders * LGBTQ+ * Self-Care * Student Life Languages: I can listen to you in English, German and Swissgerman. My Boundaries:  Only offline chats: I'll respond to your messages within 1-3 days, but I'm currently not able to do live chats. Chat Topics that I am not able to provide support for because of a lack of experience or trigger risk: * Family Stress * Financial Stress * Parenting * Relationship Stress/Breakups * Self Harm * Sexual Health * Weight Management ------------------------- Projects Trauma Support Community Mentor Leader: I support the trauma support sub-community as a community mentor leader. If you have feedback, questions or ideas regarding this community, please leave me a pm or use this form:  Trauma Sub-Community Feedback Form [https://forms.gle/tvajKJmLKhqfxwrH9] Anonymous Evaluations Outreach Team Quality Mentor Leader: I make sure that people who had three good evaluations get a chance to be verified and listeners who need help get connected to the Listener Coaching Team. Sub-Community Leadership Team (PA): I'm helping with recruiting and onboarding new forum supporters. Quality Mentor: As a mentor, I can take you as a mentee. I can help you improve your listening skills, do mock chats with you, give you resources, provide emotional support, and answer your questions. Chat Supporter: If you struggle with an ongoing chat, I can provide tips and resources to you. I can do that either in the Listener Support Room, or, if you need to describe the chat with more than 5 words, in the pms.  Adult Teen Listener with the Peter Pan, Teen Chat Support, and Teen Quality Mentor badge: I can provide support to adult and teen listeners. Doorkeeper: You can pm me if you want a room opened or closed. ------------------------- Most Important Resources Suicidal ideation, self harm: On 7 Cups we cannot offer crisis support.  7 Cups Crisis [/www.7cups.com/crisis] Chat Support: If you are a listener and need help with an ongoing chat, take a look at the linked document. Chat Support [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1jf7BqGrwkY0zFhU3PKaAaRVCoEd6O2TD0vNhuiRHRD8/edit] New Listener Links: If you are a new listener, the following document with a bunch of links might be helpful to you. New Listener Links [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1LTMvBFOgWICNHLlfNvzeQf2vkF3PPRn_jQUxJxjASOk/edit] ------------------------- Smile and take care everyone! :) audienta ------------------------- PS: A big thank you to my great peers who showed me so much love, acceptance, and appreciation during the last couple of years! You really made my life a little brighter. Tagging my twinnie @MelodyoftheOcean.
