Struggling to deal with the effects of physical illness? Get support from a hotline in Greece

Everything changes when you’re diagnosed with a serious, chronic or life-threatening physical illness. Coping with your new reality can be challenging, especially when you feel isolated or alone. You are valued. There are 2 helplines in Greece where you can confide in volunteers or counselors for support when you feel:

  • Shame and sadness about becoming a burden to others.
  • Stress about the financial burden that your illness will put on your family.
  • Like a burden to friends or family, and no longer a valuable member of society.
  • Loss of control and an intense feeling of helplessness in the face of your illness.
  • That life isn’t worth living, given the limitations and pain associated with your medical condition.
  • Isolated from those who don’t comprehend your discomfort or the seriousness of your condition.
  • Fear that you'll be defined by your medical condition, instead of who you really are.
  • Worry about the pain you'll feel, medical bills, death, and your family’s future happiness.

Depending on your illness, personality, age, lifestyle and home support system, there are a range of difficult emotions you may be feeling. Illness can be life-changing, and it is always unexpected.

Facing the challenges of physical illness requires strength that can sometimes only come through support. There are volunteers and counselors in Greece who are waiting to hear your concerns and help you find the emotional strength and resilience within you. Asking for help doesn't mean you're weak – it shows that you are human.
