When I was 14 or 15, I knew something was off. The anxiety, the depression, the OCD - I could feel it all building up, but I could not bring myself to do anything about it. Not because I did not care. It just felt like too big of a step. Telling my parents, talking to someone, sitting in a therapist's office - none of that felt like something I was ready for. So I stayed stuck. Aware that I was struggling, but not ready to say it out loud.
That feeling stayed with me. And at some point I started wondering how many other people were sitting in that same space, carrying something heavy but not quite ready to reach for help. SLUMP came from that question. Not an app that tries to diagnose you or push you toward therapy before you are ready, but something that just meets you where you are. A place to start, even when starting small is all you can do.
