WorryBugs vs Thought Record

A gentle, comforting space to share what’s on your mind. WorryBugs are tiny, tender-hearted friends who sit quietly with your thoughts and help carry what feels heavy. Sometimes, just naming a worry can make it feel a little lighter. That’s what WorryBugs are here for. What You Can Do: - Create a WorryBug – Give your worry a name and a critter will share it with you. - Check in anytime – Add updates, journal your thoughts, or just say hi. - Let go gently – When the worry feels finished, you can reflect and release. - Look back kindly – See how far you’ve come, one step at a time. Whether your worry is big or small, silly or serious, clear or confusing—your WorryBug is here to hold it gently, just as it is. // shared joy is a double joy; shared sorrow is half sorrow

Thought Record is a quiet place to untangle a stressful moment, the way you would on a paper CBT worksheet — but built for your phone. WRITE IT OUT Describe the situation, name how it felt, then free-write everything going through your head. No prompts interrupting you, no character limits. HIGHLIGHT THE THOUGHTS Sweep your finger over the sentences that sting — like running a highlighter across the page. NAME THE THINKING ERRORS Label each highlighted thought with common thinking errors (cognitive distortions): all-or-nothing thinking, catastrophizing, mind reading, fortune telling, and more. FIND A MORE BALANCED THOUGHT Re-read what you wrote with the labels in view, then write the calmer, fairer version.
