Worrydolls

I have been living a couple severe anxiety disorders for most of my life and this app is ridiculously helpful. It’s similar to journaling, but in a much more manageable format for a lot of people. This app has helped me with not only managing my anxiety, but also reflecting on it and growing as a person. Even if you only use the unpaid version, it’s still insanely useful. I like how I can customize my dolls in magic mode (a subscription feature.) I have made certain dolls to represent certain people in my life that I have frustrations with. It’s a much healthier way to get those feelings out than just crying or yelling about them or holding them all in. One thing I wish the app had was more customization options for the dolls, like mixing and matching hair and clothing and skin color options, but the biggest feature I would like to see in the future is having the ability to pin dolls to the front of the row or organize them in some other way, that way I can keep the dolls I’ve made to represent people in my life separate from the random other worries I document throughout the day. Overall, this can be a life-changing app for pretty much anybody who experiences anxiety on a regular basis. Kudos to the dev, your work is something special ♥️

Fascinating idea! Just a few features I feel would be useful while I was using the app in the last couple of weeks: 1. search historical worry dolls. Helpful when you want to search for a similar situation in the past and see how it went last time. You can even sort worries according to final outcomes. 2.there are times I have not “finished worrying” because the outcome of things I was worrying about was either too far in the future or going on indefinitely. However, they have been relegated to a secondary place in my mind over time. When I try to finish the worry it asks me if the outcome is as bad as I thought, but I won’t have an answer to that. I just temporarily stopped worrying about that thing bcs there are so many other things in my life. I feel like it’d be useful to add “TBD” option to the outcomes or distinguish between “finished worries” or “temporarily finished worries”.

ever since school started again, i’ve been getting really stressed about homework, my insecurities, peer pressure, and even things outside of school like video games. everything has sort have gone spiraling down since september, but this app has really helped me! even if i’ve only had the app for about a week, it’s been so helpful. when i’m at school, i can just quickly pull my phone out and type. knowing that someone is listening to my problems makes me feel a whole lot better, even if they are just dolls on an app. a thing i would like to comment on is the character limit for the worries. sometimes i found myself having to reword what i have written to be able to fit into the limit, which isn’t a big problem but a little time consuming. another thing is how secure my worries are. i have set it so that there is a password and face recognition to open the app, but sometimes when i switch apps or go to my home screen, after some hours when i come back to the app, it’s back where it was, without me needing to use my password. this can be a but troubling for me as im worried that one of my friends or relatives might see my worries. overall though, this is a really really REALLY helpful app. i would definitely recommend it to anyone who doesn’t have a person to talk to when in need of help.
