Hey, I'm more than my thoughts

You're Not Alone!

Hey You,
Do you ever feel a bit off? Maybe you often feel down, stressed, anxious, or just not happy without really knowing why. That’s completely okay. What you’re feeling matters. And remember: you’re not alone. Talking about it can be scary, especially if you don’t know how to start or if you feel ashamed. But asking for help is a brave step that can truly make a difference.

Where Can You Go?

There are safe, non-judgmental places where you can talk. These organizations are ready to help:

• Grip op je Dip: A free, anonymous online group course for young people struggling with sadness or negative thoughts. You'll learn how to better cope with your feelings alongside others, with no waiting list. In this 6-week online course, you’ll get the same support a psychologist offers in their office. But here, you don’t need a referral, it’s free, there’s no waiting list, and you don’t have to travel anywhere.
• Alles Oké?: Call or chat with someone who will listen. Sometimes, just sharing your story can bring great relief.
• 113: For support with feelings of sadness or if you’re thinking about suicide. You can call or chat anonymously.
• Qpido: Have questions about relationships, sexuality, or boundaries? Qpido offers advice and support.
• @ease: A place where you can talk anonymously with young volunteers and professionals about your feelings.

Why Asking for Help Matters

Maybe you’re wondering if your problems are “serious enough” or if seeking help will make a difference. Many young people feel this way. But your feelings always matter. At organizations like Grip op je Dip, you can start right away—no costs, no waiting lists, no complicated steps. Everything is online, so you don’t even need to leave your house.

Grip op je Dip’s 6-week course shows you that you’re not alone. Sharing experiences with other young people can be incredibly relieving. Under the guidance of experienced counselors, you’ll work together to overcome sadness and negative thinking.
