Is Pixy a replacement for therapy, and where can I get help in a crisis?

No. Pixy is a self-reflection tool, not therapy or a medical device. If you are in crisis or think about hurting yourself, call your local emergency number or a crisis line right away.

Emergency: call your local emergency number, for example 911 in the US or 112 in the EU.
US: call or text 988 (Suicide and Crisis Lifeline).
Elsewhere: findahelpline.com lists free, confidential lines by country.

A mood tracker can help you notice patterns and talk about them with a professional. It cannot replace that conversation.
