Worrydolls 4+

I only found this app a few days ago, and I’m so glad I did.

As somebody who suffers severely from multiple forms of anxiety, it’s incredibly exhausting having constant anxious spirals. I find that by opening the app, writing down a summary of the thought/feeling, and seeing it written there can be incredibly helpful in acknowledging that these thoughts are not my own, but products of my illness. I’m sure it’d offer a similar sense of comfort for those who may not necessarily suffer from the mental illness anxiety, but are prone to nervousness, too.

Another thing I really appreciate is the simplicity of the app - some apps promoted to be anxiety-relieving I’ve found overwhelming because of their demand to check in daily or partake in in-app purchases. Worrydolls is simply there for whenever you feel like getting something off your chest.

One thing I’d love to see is an option to toggle on writing longer worries, but maybe keep it optional. There’s definitely an upside to seeing that worries can be boiled down to a 2 sentence summary, but sometimes it’d be nice to just rant away.

Thank you so much for creating this app. Obviously, it isn’t a cure to end all anxiety, but it certainly is helpful and offers relief to thought spirals that are often relentless when untamed. I would highly recommend downloading to anybody thinking about it!

To start off, this app has brought me nothing but comfort. I’ve had many traumatic event in my life that still stay with me, but Worry Dolls fixed that. Although these events have affected me, Worry Dolls made me feel that I’m safe and I’m in a space where I can talk to someone.

Although I’ve just gotten the app a few weeks ago, that doesn’t change the fact how great Worry Dolls are! This app deserves a 5-star rating no matter what! Absolutely recommend!

i downloaded this app because the design is so cute, thinking it probably wouldn’t be helpful and i’d uninstall it immediately. the design is delightful and i thought i might give it a go and tell a big worry i have to a doll.

i have no idea what happened, but i felt relief almost instantly. it’s as if writing out my looming constant existential worry for a doll to hold freed my mind up knowing that the doll is worrying instead of me. the doll is keeping it safe, so i won’t forget the importance of it, but i’m now free to live my life. i can return to the worry whenever i want, but i don’t hold it myself.

thank you from the bottom of my heart, dev(s). what a wonderful little app you have created.
