"Help Yourself"
A “self-help” app. It could help the kids, teens, or adults
get help. It could have success stories within it. One section could have
contacts to the suicide hotline, a counseling hotline. Self-harm seems to be a
growing problem. I hear about it all the time. It’s usually involved with
either mental illnesses, or abuse, or bullying. Many of my “friends” have
self-harmed and haven’t really known how to get the help they need because they
are afraid of the judgement.
Maybe
if there is like a social media but not really social media app that could have
positive helpful stories, or ways to not hurt yourself, many people could
confide with those people and seek help. The app could have private messaging
so you could talk to someone and maybe make friends and you could help each
other out. Could also be a self-help for mental illnesses, such as depression,
anxiety, paranoia, etc. Just a community of people who are there to help you,
and help you understand that it does get better.
The app
could have a calendar; tracks how many days you’ve been clean of whatever you’ve
been doing to take the pain away. And you get like a notification congratulating
being clean for a month, or six months, even a year. When people get those
positive feedbacks, they feel good and want to continue to get better. And with
the friends you make, they can cheer you on, as well as you cheering them all.
Another
section of the app could have specific websites that can help you understand
more about what you are going through. Ones that have steps to help you calm
down from a panic/anxiety attack, or steps to just help you resist urges. In general,
this app can be a positive community of people helping others. And if people
are getting bullied on said app, they can report them and it will be taken care
of right away, instead of waiting days.
