Support contacts
If something is weighing on you, you deserve support from a person. The people below listen without judgement, and you can call, text or chat, whichever feels easiest.
If you or someone else is in immediate danger, call your local emergency number (listed for each country below).
Speed Macros is a food-tracking app, not a crisis service, and nobody here can answer in an emergency. Each service below is run by its own organisation and explains its own privacy rules. They are for any age, and they also take calls from friends and family.
