Get help now from a suicide hotline in Switzerland

Suicidal thoughts can affect anyone. They are more common than you might think, which is why there are 2 suicide hotlines (or helplines and crisis lines) in Switzerland that can offer help to anyone struggling with feeling suicidal. Suicidal thoughts might involve:

  • Feeling like your own health and wellbeing no longer matter
  • Feeling like there is no end in sight to the pain you're feeling
  • A deep sense of hopelessness
  • Feeling like you wouldn't be missed if you were gone
  • Feeling deep and constant despair
  • Feeling or thinking you are worthless
  • Thinking there is nothing worth living for
  • Feeling like nothing matters anymore

Feeling suicidal suggests that you're experiencing serious emotional distress. When you're flooded with strong negative emotions, it may seem like there are no solutions to your problems. Taking your life is not the way out, there are other ways to end the pain you're feeling.

How you're feeling is completely okay. There is nothing wrong with you for feeling or thinking how you do. It may be difficult to talk about what you're experiencing, but there are patient crisis line counselors and volunteers in Switzerland who want to listen and help you.

If you are having thoughts of suicide today, consider contacting a helpline in Switzerland for free, confidential help.
