ADHD doesn’t only affect focus. It can also make emotions hit harder and take longer to settle. DaisyDo helps you regulate intense ADHD emotions before they take over. DaisyDo is a self-help app for people with ADHD who experience emotions intensely. When anger makes you snap, rejection sends you into self-criticism, or overwhelm makes you pull away, DaisyDo helps you calm down, process what happened, and decide what to do next. Because the hardest part is not always the emotion itself. It is how quickly one difficult moment can become an argument, a painful story about yourself, or hours of shutting people out. WHO DAISYDO IS FOR Do you ever: * Go from irritated to furious in seconds? * Feel devastated by criticism, rejection, or a change in someone’s tone? * Turn one mistake into “I’m a failure” or “Something is wrong with me”? * Replay an interaction and assume the worst? * Go cold or pull away when everything becomes too much? * Say or send something you regret once the emotion passes? * Stay upset long after everyone else seems to have moved on? DaisyDo gives you a private place to work through these moments without judgment. HOW DAISYDO HELPS Understand what happens between the trigger and your reaction and how ADHD can intensify feelings. Guided conversations inspired by CBT, ACT, and inference-based techniques help you: * Separate what happened from the conclusions your mind added * Recognize the triggers, thoughts, and beliefs intensifying an emotion * Catch self-criticism before it takes over * Make room for anger, hurt, uncertainty, and overwhelm * Pause without ignoring or suppressing how you feel * Choose a response that reflects what you actually want * Recover and repair after a reaction you regret * Build a personal plan for moments that repeatedly overwhelm you The goal is not to stop feeling emotions. It is to learn how to handle the intensity, regulate to a calmer state and feel more in control of your reactions. WHAT YOU’LL GET INSIDE THE APP HELP WHEN EMOTIONS HIT HARD Bring DaisyDo what is happening right now. Chat anytime you need help to calm down, make sense of the situation, or work out what to do next. THE 10-DAY ADHD EMOTION RESET Separate from informal chats, follow a structured 10-day course to understand your triggers, recognize your emotional patterns, and practice responding differently. AI COMPANIONS THAT MATCH YOUR STYLE Choose a conversational personality that feels natural, supportive, and comfortable. YOUR PERSONAL EMOTION PLAN Build strategies for handling anger, rejection, self-criticism, overwhelm, and withdrawal based on how these patterns affect you. PROGRESS WITHOUT PERFECTION Build streaks, level up, and return after difficult days without having to start over. DAILY REMINDERS Receive subtle prompts that make your emotional-regulation skills easier to remember and use. A PRIVATE, SECURE SPACE Work through difficult ADHD emotions without judgment. Your emotions are real. They do not have to decide what happens next. SUBSCRIPTION INFORMATION A DaisyDo subscription is required to access content and features. All plans include a 7-day free trial so you can try the app before you pay. If you choose a paid plan, payment is handled by the App Store. Begin your training. Start feeling more in control of your emotions. Disclaimer: DaisyDo is not a licensed therapist and does not provide diagnoses, medical advice, or medication guidance.
