Struggling with your gender and sexual identity? Get support from a LGBTQ-friendly hotline in Namibia

If you identify as LGBTQ or if you’re undecided about your gender or sexual identity, you may be more prone to depression and mental health problems. This is especially true if you experience discrimination, bullying, and rejection. If you struggle with any of the following, reach to a hotline in Namibia – 2 are available:

• Finding it confusing figuring out who you're attracted to
• Feeling constrained by gender norms
• Feeling depressed as a result of struggling with your sexuality or gender identity
• Feelings of anxiety about not being accepted for who you really are
• Struggling with being misgendered or wrongly labeled
• Feeling guilt around wanting to express who you truly are
• Anxiety around coming out to others
• Feeling like your sexuality is different from those around you

Experiencing rejection as a lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender person is extremely painful. You deserve to be accepted and loved for who you are. When you’re not, it can take a serious toll on your mental health. If you feel confused, lonely, and even suicidal, your feelings are valid.

LGBTQ-friendly volunteers and counselors in Namibia are available to help you no matter what you're going through. A huge weight can be lifted off your shoulders when you're given the chance to express your true feelings without any fear of judgement.

For free and confidential support with gender & sexual identity, consider contacting a hotline in Namibia today.
