An anxiety journal that does not need words
By Bottle Me
Anxiety shows up in bodies — tight chest, racing pulse, restless hands. Asking someone mid-spike to narrate it in prose is often exactly wrong. Colour-first logging matches the moment.
One tap during the spike
Pick the palette that matches the intensity. That is the entire entry — two seconds during a moment when two seconds is all you have.
Patterns emerge in review
The timeline reveals when spikes cluster: Monday mornings, after specific meetings, during particular weeks. Colour makes the temporal pattern visible without analysis.
Grounding as a side effect
Choosing colours during a spike is itself a small grounding act — it forces a micro-decision in the present, which is the opposite of spiralling.
