Golden Week ended. You came back. Everyone else seemed fine. You just couldn't get started again. It's not laziness. May depression (gogatsu-byo) is a documented pattern that hits after major transitions β€” the adjustment from holiday mode to real life, the pressure of a new year that's already felt like months. May Reset is a 14-day CBT program built for exactly this. 3-5 minutes per day. Science-backed exercises designed by cognitive behavioral therapy research. Not journaling. Not meditation. Structured exercises that break the thought patterns keeping you stuck. 【What the 14 Days Do】 β€’ Day 1-3: Identify the thought patterns behind low energy (not motivation β€” the underlying loop) β€’ Day 4-7: Interrupt negative cycles with behavioral experiments β€” small actions that prove the loop wrong β€’ Day 8-11: Rebuild momentum at a pace that doesn't trigger another crash β€’ Day 12-14: Lock in what worked so next May is different 【Each Day Includes】 - Morning mission: One CBT task (3-5 minutes, before work) - Mood check-in: Rate 1-10, one line of notes - Evening reflection: What shifted today - Mood graph: 14-day arc makes the recovery visible "I don't believe apps can fix depression." β€” May Reset isn't therapy. It's a structured self-help protocol based on CBT research that shows measurable mood improvement over 14 days for seasonal low mood. It doesn't replace professional help for clinical depression. "I've tried mood apps before and they made me feel worse." β€” Most mood apps ask you to log how bad you feel without giving you anything to do about it. May Reset gives you a task every morning. The difference is the doing. "Will 14 days really change anything?" β€” CBT research shows 14 days of structured exercises is long enough to interrupt a thought pattern. Not a permanent fix β€” a reset. That's what this is. People say things like: "Day 3, I felt the first crack in the fog. Day 7, I was making plans again." "I've had this every May for years. This is the first time I had something to actually do about it instead of just waiting it out." "The mood graph showing me going from 3 to 7 over 14 days β€” I needed to see that it was actually moving." "Do I need to pay?" β€” Day 1-3 of the program are free.

Lull is the calm contraction timer. One tap per wave, and a clear answer to the only question that matters: is it time? BUILT FOR 3AM The whole lower screen is the button. Tap when a wave starts, tap when it ends. Eyes closed is fine. The breathing ring swells at a slow breath pace while you ride the wave. IS IT TIME? Lull watches your pattern against the common 5-1-1 rule and says it in plain words: about 5 minutes apart, lasting about 1 minute, holding for 1 hour. No charts to interpret, no false alarms. Your midwife's advice always wins, and her number stays one tap away. ON YOUR LOCK SCREEN A Live Activity keeps the current wave and your pattern visible without unlocking your phone. The clock ticks on its own, all night long. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. Your waves and your midwife's number never leave your phone. ONE FAIR PRICE Labor lasts weeks, not years. One purchase unlocks everything forever. No subscription, because labor is not a rental.
