Re:I built an app to fix my depression by zoozla on Friday September 11, 2020 @02:57PM (#24446132)
I'm not hurt at all by this comment and it's true. I didn't create the app in the depths of my most intense depression episode (two months in bed, couldn't even get myself to watch a TV show). Medication helped me out of that. I've also actively working on methods to improve myself for about a decade and by the time I started working on the app about two years ago I was mostly stable with occasional bouts of depression and rage that lasted for a few days to a week.

The first version of the app took a couple of weeks to build and I was flying on a good streak at that point, but it's prevented me from spiraling down ever since.

I don't know if the app could have helped me in my deepest depressive state. I don't know if it can help other people in even deeper states. I think it might.
