Hey guys!
Hey guys!
Nice to meet you guys all here, I'm Manuel! Hope you're all doing well. I like how friendly everyone on this forum is.
So, I'm currently building a free chatbot app in collaboration with two psychologists that helps build coping skills for people with anxiety. I'm confident it can really help better deal with worries and anxiety.
It's made up of chat conversations that take a few (usually not more than 5) minutes per day. In these chats, you learn small lessons and exercises that are designed to gradually help you build coping skills and resilience. It's aimed at people who experience worry or feelings of anxiety and want to do something about it.
If that sounds interesting, please reply to this post

Re: Hey guys! (Anxiety Chatbot App)
Hello Manuel,
Welcome! That sound interesting.
A few questions, if you don't mind;
Are you a programmer or psychology student, and what brought you to this?
I assume this is might end up being a phone app.... What's the plan and what's needed from potential volunteers?
And can you share some of the anxieties you've been struggling with?
Thanks!
SD

Re: Hey guys!
Sure, snoringdog, happy to answer! We have one programmer and two psychologists in our team. You're right - it's going to be a phone app. The plan is to simply have a few people join as beta testers and share their thoughts about the chatbot app. Do you want me to send you the link when we are beta-testing? We are happy with any help we can get
Anxieties I'm struggling with myself. All kinds of, not at a clinical level but definitely become anxious in some social situations or before big presentations.

Re: Hey guys!
Is there a way I could text you in private somehow? I am not sure how this forum works yet

Re: Hey guys! (Anxiety Chatbot App)
Hello to any fellow travelers wrestling with anxiety like I am...
I want to give a shout out to Manuel who started this thread and the little Pocket Coach app I've been testing.
It's a conversation app that helps guide you thru some of the reasons for anxiety and negative thinking and how to deal with them. Good reminders of things you might already know, but forget about when they're needed most.
Since a lot of us are staring at our phones too much anyway, seems like a good use of screen time...
I have no vested interest in this app at all, just want to share a little tool that's had some value to me.
Wishing you all well.
