Safety

Your safety comes before reconnecting.

One Minute Earlier helps with hard decisions after a breakup. It is not emergency support. If you might be in danger, or might hurt yourself, reach a person now.

If you need help right now

If you are in immediate danger, call your local emergency number.

If you might hurt yourself, contact a crisis line now. Find a free, confidential helpline in your country.

If you can, move near someone you trust and tell them directly that you need help staying safe.

If there is fear, abuse, threats, or stalking

You deserve support and safety before any decision about contact. A local domestic-violence or victim-support service can help you make a safety plan; the same directory lists services by country. You don’t have to reply to anything that scares or pressures you.

How One Minute Earlier handles safety

Wanting contact doesn’t make you a bad person.

Respecting a boundary is the action that matters now. You don’t have to decide anything at the peak of the feeling.
