I feel empty or alone

Emptiness and loneliness can be very heavy, even when everything looks normal from the outside.

You do not have to talk the feeling away

If you feel empty, cut off, or alone, that is a real sign of distress. You do not need a diagnosis for it and you do not have to be ashamed.

One small contact can be enough

It does not have to be a long conversation right away. A message, one short sentence, TelefonSeelsorge, counseling, or contact with a trusted person can be a start.

When emptiness becomes dangerous

If you have suicidal thoughts, cannot stay alone, or are afraid you might harm yourself, real help matters immediately. Do not stay alone and use urgent help.

What you can do now

  1. Choose one safe contact.
  2. Prepare one short sentence.
  3. Get real help immediately in danger.
