Hi Ladies,

Thank you all for sharing your stories. Please keep in mind that this app does not condone violence, whether it is directed against others or against yourself.

A quick google for "self-harm prevention hotline" and "domestic abuse helpline" brought this return back. I'm positive that if you try a search yourself, you will find a multitude of resources staffed by trained crisis intervention professionals. Most services like this are free to use and promise confidential and anonymous counseling.
