Materials

This section contains materials you can return to when it gets hard. We keep adding to it so that support is always nearby.

Supports for anxiety, loss, and difficult experiences

We help people not remain alone with their pain, anxiety, and difficult experiences. Emotional support and psychological help in hard moments helps you feel attention and ease your condition in a situation of loss or strong anxiety. We believe that support in the most difficult moments of life changes not only a person but society as a whole, strengthens mutual understanding, and reduces the feeling of loneliness. If you did not find here what is important for you right now, write to us at [email protected]—we will try to prepare and publish a material. And if support is needed right now, you can turn to our Neurodoula—around the clock, 24/7. Neurodoula tries to be near everyone who needs it in order to provide attention, understanding, and help when it is especially important.

The first hours after the death of a loved one are the most vulnerable. Time may feel as if it has stopped. The body may not respond. The mind often clings to the last moments, resisting the reality of what has happened. Everything can feel unbearable - and this is exactly when it is most important not to demand the impossible from yourself.

This Fear Is Not Yours — Yet You Carry It On emotional contagion, boundaries, and caring for yourself You wake up — and the anxiety is already there. Even though everything around you seems calm. Nothing terrible has happened in your own life. And yet your body feels heavy. There is tightness in your chest. As if something is about to happen. As if danger is close. And then you remember: yesterday you read a news story about someone who was killed. You watched videos about evacuations. You saw a friend crying over her son. You listened to stories of fear, pain, and loss. This fear is not yours. Yet you carry it. Why does this happen?
