If tonight is heavier than a breakup
Afterbloom is not a crisis service and nobody here is on call. These lines are, and they are free and confidential. If you are in immediate danger, call 911.
988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline — US, 24/7.
Call or text 988. Chat at chat.988lifeline.org.
For Deaf and hard-of-hearing callers there is an ASL option at 988lifeline.org.

What Afterbloom does with this
The app watches for it too. If something you write in the program reads like you might be in danger, Afterbloom stops and shows you this screen instead of saving what you wrote. That line is not kept, not sent anywhere, and not turned into a card. Nothing you write is read by a person here. See the privacy policy.
