The better you feel, the more you can focus, manage your daily life or even interact and engage with others. You feel well balanced.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]So many different scenarios can affect the human psyche \u2013 things like having a stressful environment at home or at school, conflicts between friends, (cyber)bullying, the loss of a loved one or a traumatizing and stressful experience.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Sometimes there is no obvious reason and yet you feel sad, lonely, helpless, stressed, anxious, panicked or listless. Depressed mood, eating disorders, addiction, as well as suicidal thoughts or self-harming behaviour can develop.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Talking helps!

If it isn\u2019t easy for you to talk to your friends, your parents or confidants, we are here for you. You can talk or write to us confidentially and anonymously. We will listen to you. We can reflect together about what could help in your situation. You are not alone.

The difficult times when we feel listless or find no pleasure in life for a while are part of living. Feelings like tiredness, sadness, apathy and depression are also typical of a \u201cbad mood\u201d; these feelings appear at specific moments and the experience is very stressful. Some people can sleep all day, others, even though they\u2019re exhausted, will sleep very badly. Even if we know that social contact would be good, or we feel\u00a0 a desire of some sort, we don\u2019t get up or we only do so with great difficulty.<\/p>\n<p>More often than not these are natural reactions to stress and they generally pass. Usually, after we\u2019ve gone through a crisis, positive feelings return rapidly. Particularly during puberty, when hormones are upside down and can give rise to emotional mood swings, it\u2019s important to take care of oneself.<\/p>\n<p>If you notice any of these changes in yourself and suffer from such \u201cdepressions\u201d, if you want to talk to someone or you don\u2019t really know really how to deal with them, don\u2019t keep your situation to yourself. Call us or write to us. We are here for you.[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=&#8221;Fear&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1697627823482{background-color: #ededd3 !important;}&#8221;]<strong>Always fearful<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s in your way and blocking your path. Sometimes fear becomes greater and greater and can even give you a panic attack. What can you do?<\/p>\n<p>Do you know the story of an imaginary menacing woman dressed in black knocking at your door? That is how the Swiss psychoanalyst C. G. Jung described fear. It doesn\u2019t help at all to creep into the farthest corner of the room. No matter where we hide, we will still keep hearing the endless knocking. Jung tells us to be brave and open the door. We should sit down at the table with her and start talking. Doing so will make \u201cthe woman in black\u201d gradually change into a \u201c wise woman\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Fear has something dark, \u201cblack\u201d, unpleasant and unsettling about it that makes us want to run away. On the other hand, it shows us its luminous, \u201cwhite\u201d side when it saves us from making\u00a0 mistakes, protects us from impending danger and encourages us to be careful; in retrospect it will be seen to have been a\u00a0 \u201cwise\u201d\u00a0 counsellor in our lives. A life without fear is not only unimaginable, it would be dangerous.<\/p>\n<p>Talking about our fears helps us to be better aware of them and to understand them, because behind the fears there is always a cause, a trigger. Avoiding talking about them just increases the tension. The worst thing we can do with our fears is to be left alone with them.<\/p>\n<p>So it\u2019s important to talk about your fear to someone who will listen to you and help you, in order that the fear doesn\u2019t keep getting bigger, like a pumpkin, just growing and growing. If you don\u2019t know which way to turn, or who to speak to, or maybe you find it hard to speak to someone you know, we are here for you!

PRESSURE!<\/p>\n<p>When it all builds up, you feel you\u2019re facing a mountain that you cannot conquer \u2013 you\u2019re too small and weak. You notice you have problems concentrating; your thoughts go round and round in your head, day and night, so that you don\u2019t get enough sleep. Your head\u2019s spinning there\u2019s so much going on. You really want to say STOP.<\/p>\n<p>If you notice that you\u2019re tense and nervous, that you\u2019re very irritable and unhappy, don\u2019t keep it to yourself. Talk about it to someone. Talking helps! Try to take an inner journey with someone to find out exactly what the issues are that have created such a mountain. Maybe that will help you approach certain things differently, to establish priorities, put certain issues onto the back burner.<\/p>\n<p>Life is full of changes. You change, and that\u2019s a good thing &#8211; even if sometimes it\u2019s a bigger challenge that doesn\u2019t always come at the right moment. Mostly, in fact, it\u2019ll be very inconvenient, because you need to have the energy to adapt, to settle down. Sometimes, you need new strategies.<\/p>\n<p>When you feel that your mountain is blocking you, that your thoughts are unrelieving and turning round and round in your head, that a huge wave of problems and feelings is threatening to submerge you and you feel you\u2019re losing control \u2026<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t keep it all to yourself! It\u2019s easier if two people share the burden. Confide in someone. Your parents, a friend, your grandmother or grandfather, an aunt, an uncle, a teacher, a neighbour, or us! We are here for you!
