Help with loneliness

Loneliness can hurt a lot. It does not mean that something is wrong with you.

Loneliness can grow quietly

Sometimes contacts become fewer, energy is missing, shame joins in, and the first step feels heavier and heavier.

One small contact is enough

It does not have to be a big meeting. A message, a counseling conversation, TelefonSeelsorge, or a fixed appointment outside the home can be a start.

When loneliness is linked to crisis

If you do not feel safe or have suicidal thoughts, do not stay alone. Use urgent help and contact a real person.

What you can do now

  1. Choose a safe form of contact.
  2. Prepare a short sentence.
  3. Do not stay alone if it becomes acute.
