There are now apps that are providing support to people who are stressed or have anxiety. Woebot is one of those apps. It uses a foundation of cognitive behavioral therapy to assist the human in dealing with the problem by tracking moods and providing suggestions.
It does not yet provide a human to cuddle.
Feeling shaky? If you need support contact the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255, the Trevor Project at 1-866-488-7386 or text “START” to 741-741.
