Good
Feeling really low, I was looking for things to do which could take my mind off stress of things piling on me. It actually really helped to uncover the levels at which things got to me, for example exams and work are pretty big things (sometimes underlying things) that make up the base and the mood, but smaller things like offhand comments (percussion) that then went into bigger things (melody). I have better understanding what to start fixing first.

Saved my Sanity
Discovered this via NHS Mental Health advice and it is amazing. I read music and play the piano but you do not need any practical music experience at all to creat some wonderful sounds. It distracts me especially during a panic/ anxiety episode with the benefit of creating something I can use as a point of reference in the future. There’s a point to it, a purpose, a positive out of an awful episode. It is joyful, creative, uplifting and personal. I like the opportunity to add additional information if needed. You people who have made this APP deserve respect... and a BIG thank you.

Fantastic for anxiety, journal and music maker
This app has been an incrediblely useful tool for controlling panic attacks in the past and acting as a journal - it's also been great to use as a music generator in it's own right - genuinely helped me with longer term recovery with ill mental health.
we've got a big problem
There is a global mental health crisis
Over $1 trillion dollars is spent on treating anxiety and depression globally. Spending is focused almost entirely on coping with crises, not prevention. Most people with a mental health problem do not receive any treatment.
