OUR STORY
I came up with the idea to make this app from my own experience with OCD. The tracking of compulsions and seeing my progress was especially difficult during times of elevated anxiety, as I would have had to write down how many times I did a compulsion, why and when. However, at this time, it would seem like too much of a hindrance, going to my room, unlocking my diary, and writing down my thoughts. It seemed to be easier to just finish the compulsion and end it there and then. But doing this never worked- it just contributed to the vicious cycle that is OCD. Opening my phone, and just pressing a button would have been so much easier, and the short time it takes to do that would have actually been a motivator to stop the compulsion. In addition, the gathering of resources to learn more in the height of my OCD felt very difficult and irrelevant to me. I wanted a short, fast solution that would automatically fix my OCD. I now realize that my logic was flawed, but came up with a way to get around this problem. A simple app- with all of the important features needed to effectively track compulsions, judge your thoughts by their true nature, perform exposure-response prevention exercises and set goals for different time frames. So, using the tools at my disposal, I set about to create it.
