Mental Health Therapy: UpLife 4+

Rapid mental health changes from my phone!

I found UpLife at a very opportune time. I was in therapy for 8 years and could not reach the level of emotional maturity I have with UpLife. I am experiencing bipolar depression right now. UpLife has helped me realize that low points can be gifts. One of the gifts of this depression is that I have undergone a speedy transformation of my whole understanding of myself. I have finally taken responsibility for myself after 55 years of destroying relationships with friends and family, being let go from healthcare providers, not making my own decisions expecting everyone else to solve my problems and just overtaxing everyone I came in contact with. UpLife Explains very complex concepts and psychology in a way that’s digestible. It gives examples of concepts and then immediately gives multiple journal prompts. The journal prompts build on each other. At the end of each series, your journal entries are presented back to you, so you can read it or bookmark it. It also lets you bookmark different thoughts, activities and meditations. It asks if you want daily reminders on some of the important ideas to continue to practice. UpLife has helped mein so many ways with my mental health issues. But, this has been the first real breakthrough I’ve made with my BPD in my 55 yrs. UpLife is an OUTSTANDING mental health app!

Costs less than a single therapy session.

While some complain about the price, I think it’s an affordable and quick way to get support for issues someone maybe dealing with. For less than a cost of one therapy session, you can get a wealth of resources in one app. I have started using it for several things I’d like to work on and have found much of the content and prompts useful. Thanks for creating this app! I’d recommend offering a free session or two for people to see how it works instead of requesting payment right away. But other than that, I think it’s a great resource!

Please change the first chapter wording

Literally just downloaded the app and got all excited about it. The first chapter is about self acceptance and it triggered me a lot when they said “to be loved by others you must first love yourself “. This is not a healthy statement and has to be removed from a self help app like this. Many people cannot accept themselves but doesn’t mean that because of that absolutely nobody loves them. It’s a dangerous statement. Everyone can be loved whether they love themselves or not so, really, no need to put more pressure into the users to get well asap so they can be where they want to be. Healing is a long journey and most people are not alone in it but statement like these make them feel utterly helpless and alone >:( I already payed for this year so imma try to put that statement aside and try to enjoy the app, but honestly, not off to a good start.

Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We understand that the statement "to be loved by others you must first love yourself" can be triggering and seem counterproductive.

The intention behind this message is to highlight that people who struggle with self-acceptance often have a deep need for external validation. Without self-love, we may continuously seek approval from others, particularly from those who may not have our best interests at heart. The reality is, individuals who do not love themselves are not alone; however, they are often surrounded by manipulators and individuals who exploit their vulnerabilities by pretending to offer love, only to take advantage of them in return.

That being said, we acknowledge that the phrasing could have been more sensitive and supportive. Healing is indeed a long journey, and everyone deserves love and support throughout this process, regardless of their current state of self-acceptance.

We appreciate your feedback and will consider revising this statement to better align with our goal of providing a supportive and non-judgmental environment. We hope you continue to explore and benefit from the app, and we are committed to making improvements based on valuable feedback like yours.
