Ask Someone To Come and Get You
When you’re struggling.
The Failsafe App (IOS and Android) includes some Red Alerts. For urgent, immediate help.
Message the Come and Get Me alert to bring help from family or a friend when you are suffering from:
Loneliness - sometimes you just don’t want to be alone.
Addiction - when tempted, this alert brings back up to distract you.
Self-harming - when you even think about doing this, send this alert to summon help to deal with the immediate emotions in a new way. Doing this a few times helps you to build your inner resilience and break the self-harm coping-response.
It asks somebody to come and get you when you don’t think you should be alone. It is a low key request for a friendly-faced intervention.
The arrival of family or a friend will help you to feel stronger, and show you ‘a fork in the road ahead’, an alternative route with a better outcome.
