Hi there, Product Hunt 👋✨
I’m Maria, one of the founders of Unstuck. I’m beyond thrilled to introduce you to a project that's close to my heart and designed to help people overcome anxiety.
Before we dive into the app's features, let me share the story that inspired this project.
✍️ MY STORY
Anxiety used to be a constant presence, blocking me from living my life fully. Then, I discovered Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and everything changed. CBT empowered me to take control of my anxiety and transform my life. It was a game-changer. However, with $200 per therapy session, it came with a heavy financial burden, and I knew there had to be a more accessible solution — not just for me but for everyone.
💡 THE SOLUTION
So, along with Calvin Woo and Stephanie Yu — my software engineering partner and our clinical scientist friend — we embarked on a journey to create Unstuck. It’s a journaling tool based on CBT, which is the gold standard of anxiety treatment. We’ve meticulously crafted it to be functional, empowering, and accessible! It's been my trusty sidekick on my own mental health journey — helping me turn my persistent anxiety into a sporadic visitor. And it is my great hope that it can help others like me overcome anxiety one journal entry at a time.
📱💻 THE FEATURES
With repeated use, CBT journaling helps you train your brain to overcome anxiety. For this, Unstuck offers two carefully crafted journal types based on CBT principles:
- The Thought Journal — Examine your thoughts, challenge unhelpful patterns, and find new perspectives.
- The Savoring Journal — Boosts wellness by helping you appreciate positive moments and train your mind to have a more positive outlook.
Together, they work in unison to help you improve your well-being. Plus, additional features further help support your mental health journey:
- A weekly assessment to track your mental health.
- Insights that show your progress and highlight areas of improvement.
- Journaling goals and motivational smart reminders.
- And Unstuck works on all devices, so you can always access relief and support wherever you go.
We are so excited to share Unstuck with you all and we look forward to hearing from the Product Hunt community to get feedback.
With gratitude,
Maria
