Contact a hotline in Japan for free, confidential support with stress

Most people feel stressed from time to time, but when everyday pressures become too much to bear, it can put a lot of strain on your mental wellbeing. If you notice any of the following negative experiences associated with stress, there are 5 hotlines in Japan you can contact for support:

  • Physical aches, tense muscles, and pains.
  • Relying on drugs or alcohol to relax or feel better.
  • Difficulty breathing, wheezing, or shortness of breath.
  • Digestive issues that result in diarrhea, constipation, heart burn, or digestive disorders.
  • High blood pressure and hypertension.
  • Constantly worrying about something.
  • Poor self-care and not taking time out for yourself.
  • Having difficulty making decisions and judgments.

It's hard to relax and switch off when your mind is racing with thoughts about work, relationships, family, finances and anything else that's stressing you out. The worry and fear you experience consumes a lot of mental energy, making it hard to keep up with life's demands. However, there are healthy ways to cope.

It's not always easy to admit that you need extra support, but everyone needs help sometimes. That's why there are hotlines available in Japan who help people who are overwhelmed with stress. It can be a huge relief to share your feelings with someone who cares and wants to understand what you're going through.

If you feel like you might need support with your experiences of stress, try reaching out to a hotline in Japan. It's free and confidential.
