There are 1 helplines you can call in Zambia if you're feeling lonely. Everyone feels lonely sometimes and there's no shame in seeking support. Loneliness can look like:

• Feeling hopeless, like you'll be lonely forever.
• Feeling that nobody "gets" you.

• Experiencing sleep problems such as insomnia, or interrupted sleep.
• Loss of confidence.
• Feeling that life is meaningless.

When loneliness is experienced for a long time, it's usually because you're not connecting with others on a deep level. People were made to experience meaningful connections, so when we feel disconnected from others, it can have a negative impact on our wellbeing.

But getting help can relieve the emotional burden you're carrying and help you feel less isolated. There are compassionate helpline volunteers and counselors in Zambia that want to support you.
