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'm a Junior majoring in Sociology and double minoring in Psychology and Social Welfare. I am Interested in working in Human Resources in the future and believe that 7 Cups will help me develop the skills to work in this field.  Hello! I've dealt with a lot of anxiety, depression, family stress, and academic stress. If you feel like you can relate, I am here to hear you out and listen with no judgement :). You are not alone and its always better to talk about it, then to bottle it all up inside.  I am uncomfortable chatting about sexual health and self-harm.  Please look at my status online if I am available to chat or not. The red circle means I'm offline and the green circle means I'm online. My chats usually last around 30 minutes to an hour. The orange/yellow circle means I am online, but currently talking to many people. If you need someone to listen to immediately there are always other listeners available to hear you out.  PLEASE REMEMBER -- I am a listener, meaning I am not able to give you advice or therapy. If you would like to receive those services 7 Cups and are an adult, I can make you a referral to receive therapy services.

Hello! thank you for viewing my profile and taking the time to get to know me. I take personal and general requests and open to discuss almost every topic however I do not discuss sexual health as this is an uncomfortable topic for me. If you would like to talk about how you are feeling I am here for you to speak to as long as you need. I am often online through out the night and early hours into the next morning. I am proud that you have taken the steps to reach out for support and have come here where you feel welcome and safe. I look forward to supporting you all.  Hopefully you get the support you deserve from us :)  Good luck in your recovery journey, I believe in you!

Hi there! I'm excited to speak with you. I will listen to anything you have to say no judgement its our safe space Did you know that: Texting makes up only 7% of human communication, we need to see and hear who we are talking to so that we could have a positive impact on our mental health; But until you have someone to communicate with, I will try my best to be your friend. If you have time please consider giving me a feedback about how i could be a better listener. Ty

I was a psychology major in college, but I am not a lisenced therapist. I hope I can be an active listener to you if you need someone. HOURS/DAYS: I work on EST (NEW YORK TIME). I generally check for messages throughout the day during the week from 10am-6pm. If I am available, you will see the green dot on my profile picture. Weekend hours are more sporadic. You may want to schedule a time to chat on the calendar, but please do NOT consider that an accepted appt time until I confirm. Thanks and I look forward to chatting with you!

I don't really know what to say, except that I'm happy to help, that's why I'm here. I'm not the most qualified person to ask for help (yet), but I'm studying social work, so I'm getting there (hopefully)! I do my best to be kind, patient, understanding, and to not judge anyone. Life gets hard for us all sometimes, but with some help and compassion we will get through it <3 Thanks for all the incredibly kind reviews, they really mean a lot to me :)
