Let It Pass Timer 5

Who

• This application is suitable for individuals experiencing struggles with negative emotions, urges, or anxieties related to their mental or physical well-being. It caters not only to individuals with mental health conditions but also to those facing various types of stressors. Moreover, it may aid individuals in managing their weight by allowing unhealthy food cravings to subside.

What

• The Let It Pass Timer app enables users to concretely allow negative emotions, urges, or anxieties to dissolve by initiating a timer with the press of a button. Once they perceive that these feelings have dissipated, users can cease the timer and move forward without the burden of those emotions. The visually soothing array of colors that transition every minute serves as a distraction from negative sentiments, facilitating a swifter resolution of these emotions. Additionally, users have the option to listen to ambient music called "The Seagull" by artist Vita Nuova, whose portfolio is available on www.newstarmusic.com.

Why

• The inspiration behind the development of this app stems from personal struggles with bipolar disorder and obsessive-compulsive disorder. Through therapy, I was taught strategies to navigate manic and depressive episodes by allowing negative feelings to pass. This technique also proves beneficial in managing my OCD tendencies whenever compulsions arise.
