Ratings and reviews

During Covid 19, was feeling isolated, depressed, stressed even keeping in touch with people by texting and didn't want to rely on them when my anxiety was getting the better of me, as they were trying to keep their own spirits up. Decided I needed something else to help me and this app was it. Very user friendly, flexible, with insightful options. So happy I gave it a try!

I am rating it 4 stars because some important steps/ links are missing from the diary. When one ruminants usually they are physically inactive and cannot swich from depreesion specific thought just by cognitive reframing. For these reasons it is important to add other pages to the diary. At the start the diary, something like "current activity". After cognitive reframing, it can be something like "opposite action" or "next thing to do based on the reframed thoughts"

so far, this app has really helped me. I struggle with intrusive thoughts, and this app has made them improve significantly. I even recommend it to some friends who also struggle with intrusive thoughts. I feel so much better, and I can finally separate my thoughts from reality. thank you
