Panic hits suddenly. Your heart pounds, your breathing becomes labored, and it feels like the end is near. But it's not. It's just adrenaline, and it will pass. Ground is a pocket-sized panic attack assistant based on cognitive behavioral therapy.
🆘 SOS button — instant help during panic
One tap, and the app will guide you through the attack step by step. Breathe 4-2-6 with visual animation and sound, then check in: if anxiety persists, ground yourself 5-4-3-2-1. Emergency numbers (112, 103, and the helpline) are visible on every screen. Works offline.
🌬️ Breathing exercises
4 techniques: extended exhalation 4-2-8 for rapid anxiety reduction, 4-7-8, square breathing, and SOS breathing. The animated circle expands as you inhale and contracts as you exhale—helps you focus when reading is impossible.
✋ Grounding 5-4-3-2-1
Interactive technique: name 5 objects you see, 4 sounds, 3 things you can touch, 2 smells, 1 taste. Shifts your focus from panic to reality. Available as a separate exercise and within SOS.
📓 Panic Attack Diary
Record each attack: trigger, symptoms, intensity. Built-in behavioral experiment: "What was I afraid of? What really happened?" Over time, you'll see that the disaster your brain imagines doesn't happen. Unlimited and free.
💭 Thought Diary
Step-by-step cognitive restructuring: situation → automatic thought → emotion and its intensity → cognitive distortion → alternative thought → new intensity. 17 cognitive distortions with descriptions. See how anxiety levels change before and after.
📚 CBT Course: 8 Lessons
From "what is panic" to relapse prevention. Card format with quizzes, checklists, and homework. Each lesson is linked to a practical tool in the app. Based on the principles of CBT—the approach with the strongest evidence base for panic disorder.
🏆 Gamification
