How I’ve always wanted to journal

As someone with ADHD, my thoughts races everywhere in multiple directions. I don’t mind this except it makes me feel a mix of anxiety and fomo. I’m so curious about where each of my thought would go if I could follow them to the end but they’re so elusive. My hands just can’t keep up. It becomes an endurance race after a while and sometimes I feel too defeated to keep journaling.

Unpack helps make journaling calmer. I don’t feel as anxious when I journal now because i know Unpack will help bring back any thoughts I missed. I love being able to see each of my tangent and go deeper into them whenever i want. Sometimes I even do it while I’m commuting on the train or just relaxing at a picnic. It’s like I can take my journal with me without having to worry about losing it.

The upgrade my journaling needed

I’ve been journaling for years now but always had trouble diving deeper into my passages, reflecting on my growth and journey, and coming to a resolution on my thoughts. Unpack was the perfect tool for me to finally start working on some of those things. Not only did it give me the prompts I need to start building my resolutions, but it also gave me an overview of my mood and thoughts over time so that I could see how I might’ve changed or grown through the months. It’s been a wonderful tool to help assist my journaling!

My journaling becomes my therapist at home

I’ve had the pleasure of trying Unpack for journaling since its early stages, and I’ve experienced so much revelation and emotional openness through it—things I didn’t even realize I had been carrying or thinking about.

It genuinely feels like I’m talking to a therapist at times, especially when I’m responding to tangents and going back and forth with the app. The follow-up questions and responses feel so clear, raw, and thoughtful, and they often help me uncover thoughts or emotions I hadn’t been aware of.

I think this app is great for both people who journal every day and people who journal more freely, whenever they feel the need. One of the features I appreciate most is how the app remembers even the tiniest details you’ve mentioned in past entries and brings them into new conversations when they’re relevant.

I personally think that’s such a thoughtful and important feature. Our brains take in and store so much information every day, and even with our own lives, we don’t always remember to connect the dots between different experiences or details. Having an AI that can recognize those connections and bring them back into the conversation can be incredibly meaningful.

Overall, Unpack has helped me open up thoughts and emotions I might not have uncovered on my own, and I’m really excited to see how it continues to grow.

Keeps my thoughts organized and has encouraged me to write more

Unpack is the app I didn’t realize I needed. Previously I would jot down thoughts, but they were always in the moment and I never really took the time to reflect on them after. Unpack helped me discover some insights about my feelings by taking my jumbled collection of entries and helping me create connections between them and forced me to think more deeply. Having all my thoughts in one place and putting more meaning behind them has increased my engagement with writing and helped me in my day to day. Great app!
