I think something is wrong with me

If something inside you feels strange, heavy, or no longer like before, you do not have to prove or name it immediately.

You do not need a finished diagnosis

Many people seek help before they know exactly what is going on. It is enough if sleep, daily life, eating, concentration, relationships, or inner calm are clearly suffering.

A first contact can be small

You can start with a family doctor, a counseling center, or a psychotherapeutic consultation hour. You do not have to explain everything perfectly. One sentence is enough.

If it is acute

If you are afraid you might harm yourself or someone else, or if there is immediate danger, 112 is the right number in Germany. This page does not replace emergency help.

What you can do now

  1. Write down what has changed.
  2. Choose one first contact.
  3. Use a prepared sentence if words are missing.

erstmalreden.de offers orientation and wording support. It does not replace counseling, therapy, diagnosis, or emergency help.
