Mindful Progress is the tool I wish I had when I was diagnosed with Bipolar 2 in 2016.

Treating mental health conditions is complex, so many factors go in to feeling well. At the start I did not know all of the factors, it was only through trial and error over many years that I started to see how sleep, medicine, exercise, and other things formed how I felt. Trial and error is painful on you and those around you, I have lived that. I want to take years off of your suffering to find what works for you in a comprehensive, holistic, and intuitive way. The goal is to maximize the time between episodes, and to have so much warning of an upcoming one that providers can be involved before it is too disruptive.

I used to track my mood log on Evernote, my sleep and exercise on Fitbit, my prescriptions on my doctor’s app, never all in the same place which made finding connections between them impossible. It was not just that these tools did not work together, none of them were made for tracking bipolar so they all lacked critical features. Evernote does not have a 0 to 5 rating for each mood entry, nor does it track the most common symptoms of manic and depressive episodes or show the ratings as a graph over time so I can see and share with others when my mood is unstable. Fitbit does not track my difficulty falling asleep, a common symptom when a manic episode is forming. My doctor's office app does not let me track the side effects the medications are giving me so I can go back and report them to my psychiatrist. Mindful Progress is the app that brings all the tracking tools into one place so you can do everything in one central place, has specialized features for bipolar disorder, and lets you see connections between all the factors so you can see what leads you to feel better for longer.

Now, with Mindful Progress, I can rate my mood 0-5, track common bipolar symptoms (like irritability, hypersexuality, and changes in energy), monitor difficulty levels of getting to sleep over time, record medication side effects I am experiencing, and more. Having all of these factors is not just beneficial for you to have logged and see on a graph, now when your psychiatrist or therapist asks you how you have done since your last visit you can show them graphs and summaries of your various log entries, making for more beneficial sessions. Many times over the years I have been asked, when was the last time you felt this way, or have you ever been on this mediation. With Mindful Progress you have the answers to make informed healthcare decisions.
