Mental health is something of a passionate subject to me. So many people suffer in silence due to the stigma that they are unstable when that couldn't be further from the truth. Regular therapy and emotional regulation allows you to be When counselling only happens once a month, it can be hard to remember the breakdowns and the low points in between sessions, especially when you go to a session on a good day and you forget how difficult life if something. It's hard to remember why you sometimes needed to ask for help in the first place.
A Pixel A Day is a reimagining of something many bullet journals show. Every day you fill in a colour for how your mood has been. But not everyone is creative with their hands, or wants the pressure of making a page look pretty like in all the pictures. Or they forget to fill it in for three weeks and the purpose and the aesthetic is gone. So the idea was to create an app instead. After all, we all have our phones with us 24/7.

The thinking
A Pixel A Day is an app that prompts the user once a day, at a time of their choosing, to fill in their mood. Setting it at a time of their choosing means they have a higher chance of keeping up with the diary. They can also log diet, wellness, sleep and notes. The colours and names of the moods are also customisable, and users can scroll back through months and years to spot patterns, around dates, memories, hormonal changes. All useful for tracking and understanding mental health over time.
This also allows users to keep a clear record if they ever wish to discuss details with their doctor, having months of data and diet and exercise grouped together to help rule out (or rule in) patterns for easier diagnosis.
