Calm Harm – manage self-harm Positive Reviews

10/10 would recommend!I haven’t used any apps that have helped me wind down. Over all this app is amazing with its different choices to help you wind down. I personally enjoy the release and the breathing options. Those really help me. The only reason I’m giving this 4 stars is because you have to do 5 activities under the same category. This app is based off a 5 or 15 minute rule. Which can be very helpful, however I feel like each minute under the different activities should count. I personally use both the Release and the Breathing activities together to help wind me down, however that doesn’t add up to the 5 or 15 minutes sadly. Maybe this will be in an update but I highly recommend you to try this app if you’re a self harmer. It can really help and don’t be disheartened if it doesn’t work for you. Continue your search to find the tools that work for you. You matter and I’m glad you’re here and that you’re reading this. You’re loved ❤️.ICantBelieveYou'veDoneThisVersion: 4.2.0

Saved my life multiple timesI first downloaded this app when i was 15, i’m turning 21 soon. i cannot tell you how thankful i am for this app. it worked so well i stopped using it about two years ago. even though every working coping skill i’ve learned has been from this app, i nearly forgot about it until today. worst panic attack i’ve had in my life, and it pulled me out of it in 2 minutes. rather, my thankfulness did. i was always partial to the comfort and release exercises. I did one of each and calmed myself enough to write this review. it’s not appropriate for me to describe the trenches i’ve been through, but in all of my major episodes i’ve turned to this app. i still remember being happy to see the update to hide exercises we didn’t like, suggesting and being happy to see exercises not asking for mobility or supplies. I don’t have right cocktail of emotional intelligence and vocabulary to say how thankful i am. i used to recommend this app like handing out candy on halloween. hopefully i won’t have to, but i absolutely will again. thank you so much, calm harm. just thank you..JdjdjdjdhiswoosoaosVersion: 5.3.3

Calm HarmOverall Calm Harm provides users age twelve and older an experience that encourages them to shift their mindset to activities or tasks that are intended to distract them from self-harming behavior. These activities and tasks are representative of mental health frameworks and engage the user to develop a stronger sense of self and reflect on relationships, accomplishments and health coping mechanisms. The range of activities allows the user to explore their evolving mindset and provides the user with an interface that can likely be used over a period of time. Lastly the data and information that is collected is placed in simple charts and logs which allows adolescent users a quick and effective way to track their progress, patterns and trends. It would be beneficial for the user to be able to share these charts and data with mental health professionals and caregivers without having to provide their passcode and login information. Lastly there is a need for additional resources, specifically mental health resources intended for the adolescent population since the app is marketed to those twelve and older..ChinicoleVersion: 4.2.0

Highly Recommend, Though Be Aware You Understand the Type of Tool That It IsCopied and pasted from an email I sent to the team/developers: To whom it may concern, I just wanted to thank you for this stellar tool. I have used it for years, I found it in high school (I forget how) and though I never self harm or feel the urge to self harm anymore, I still use it for when I am feeling heightened anxiety or just for a casual guided breathing exercise. My relationship with the app has changed, but never has it been poor. Done both very thoughtfully and simply. Thank you. Tools like this matter, and the groups/organizations/people that make them happen matter. Sent from my iPhone [End copied email.] One thing I will note is that it is not for everyone, and to understand if the format of it is what you are looking for. It is a coaching app; primarily a list of categorized suggestions on activities to do or prompts to think about. Some I have heard before and some I haven’t. It is NOT per se, a screen interactive app- it it does not have in app-minigames to distract you, or a spot to type prompt responses. I find it useful to type my “responses” in my notes app or in the self-monitoring section of the app afterward. It has a countdown timer on the screen for the duration of you doing your activity, whatever that may entail, and then you pick the phone back up/reopen the app when the timer is up and reasses how you are feeling..Whymustihavetochooseanickname2Version: 5.2.2

Amazing app! (and suggestions)I just wanna say I love this app, it’s helping me break my bad habit. It reminds me of all the positives in a moment of negativity and it’s so genius that it forces you to refocus to something positive, and gets your mind off the bad stuff. It also rewards you with streaks with little badges! And it gives helpful resources for things the app cannot do. I do have a suggestion though. When activities start where you have to use your phone, for example texting a friend, the timer never works out of the app for me. I’ll go to my messages app while the timer is at 4:45 or so, and when I get back 5 minutes later it’s still at the time I left it. It would very helpful if it could work out of the app so I don’t have to use another device, though I understand this is out of your control. Either way, if you’re thinking of downloading this app please do! It’s helped me so much on my journey of recovery!.I like pepperoni pizzaVersion: 5.1.6

I locked myself out!This app is excellent. I used it a bunch last year when I was struggling with my mental health, and I was recently cleaning out my phone and found it hidden in my health folder. I tried to log in but I forgot my pin and security answer—I smiled so big when I realized I couldn’t get in. I thought, holy hell, I’ve been healthy for long enough to not need this anymore!! I’m probably going to delete the app because I no longer use it, and I certainly don’t need to have access to all the notes that I wrote when I was in a bad place. However, when I was using the app, it worked perfectly. CalmHarm was exactly what I needed. It’s saved me from countless anxiety attacks and calmed me down when I couldn’t rely on anyone. Nothing but love for this app. To anyone who needs this—deep breaths. You will get through this. There is always hope. Please please take care of yourself. You are worthy of health and happiness. Sending all the love and good vibes your way ~ <3<3<3 - J. H..J. Hunter 🥀Version: 4.2.0

This app has literally saved my lifeThis is a wonderful concept. I think my favorite part about it is that the activities have categories. For instance, very few health apps have a “distract” solution. This is often one of the most important ways to help someone in the moment. Thank you for being absolute geniuses. The customization within the app is also very soothing, and the little characters are adorable. Science says that living by a body of water is good for the mind, so your theme is sweet and reminds me of the ocean and every wonderful memory I have from going to beaches. If there is any way in which I can support your app, I would love to. I do recommend that you take a page to list hotlines, not your own, but maybe the national hotlines for most countries. I don’t know what permissions are involved with that, but I feel like that would be the only touch that could make this even better than it already is..The321human04Version: 4.0.1

Good App, some suggestions!I saw this app on Twitter. I was looking for an alternative to some breathing based apps for winding down and then saw the distraction option for this app (and the breathing one). Thought it was an interesting concept even though I don’t physically self harm (I just overthink things). I know this is geared towards people who self harm but really it could be used for everyone at every age. I think it’d be helpful if you had different reasons to choose from why you’re using the app because the get help literature is excessive upon first use and kind of put me off a little bit. Also, it was giving an error when selecting location so I picked a different location and changed it later in settings. When people want help the last thing they need is an error screen. Otherwise, great app upon first use. Will return and hope for positive changes!.SarawileyxoVersion: 3.0

Amazing but has some flawsIt’s annoying to constantly have to log back into it. I don’t know if it’s just me or other people are having the same problem. Sometimes I forgot my password and memorial word and can’t get in for a while. I get it that it can be tracking you for improvements or something, but I think it should be something that you can just jump right into whenever you need it. Other than that though, it’s amazing and I really recommend it anyone who’s struggling with self harm or any other mental illness. It’s not given enough credit for the fact that it can also help with panic attacks, depressive episodes, bursts of anger, and simply something to keep you calm..QwertymachadoVersion: 3.0

Downloaded during an emergency not expecting it to helpHaving PTSD triggers inducing extreme emotional flashbacks recently has caused almost constant inescapable feelings of anxiety thus triggering my sh urges. The suggestions help me realize there is other ways to escape, and I did not even need to complete set up to use the tools. The creators clearly are knowledgeable of DBT skills and truly care about users mental health. I am lucky to be able to receive professional help as well, but this app has helped me cope tremendously. It is so much better than others like I Am Sober, that do nothing but make you feel bad once you press reset. New addition to my home screen, the little characters also help you feel better they’re adorable..No-longer panicking humanVersion: 5.0.5

Already in loveI just downloaded the app and I’m already tearing up. I went through an extensive DBT program and this app focuses on a lot of the same principles I am already familiar with. One of my biggest triggers is idle hands. I get so antsy and bored and then overwhelmed by the tightness in my chest and paralyzed by options. It causes me to spiral and make impulsive decisions with negative consequences. It’s so refreshing to have a list of activities that are ACTUALLY doable for a neurodivergent person. Just taking a look around in this app reminded me that there are so many more ways to practice self care. It’s not all working out, skin care, and meal prepping. Sometimes it’s best to just sit and notice. Just be where you are ♥️.GlowsandwichVersion: 5.3.3

I’ve recommended this app to dozens of peopleI absolutely love everything about this app and If you don’t give it 5 stars idk what tf you’re doing, it’s the best free resource out there and helped me more than my therapist who costs 300$ a visit and my anxiety medications combined, I’ve recommended this to so many people because it’s amazing not only for s*lf h*rm prevention but also works great for stopping my sensory overload breakdowns, it helps stop panic attacks, gives advice, this app really does it all I cannot say enough good things about it, it’s discreet, Easy to use, requires a password to enter, customizable and it has options for EVERYONE I’d give it 6/5 (I never write reviews and I’m writing one specifically for this because it’s that good).A dude tryin to hwlpVersion: 4.2.0

So helpfulI downloaded this app when I was really struggling. I downloaded a lot of others too cause let’s be real I was pretty desperate and this one made the others look horrible. It’s free. It’s a tracker for how long your streak is. It has little cartoon characters. And it’s helpful for when you just need a little boost and when you REALLY need help. There’s 5 minute things and 15 minute things to do. I personally enjoy the five minute ones more because I have the attention span of an almond. I’m currently at 465 days. I never would’ve gotten to this or even six months without this app. I really do enjoy it :).Coco cute 9906 123456789Version: 5.2.4

Changed my life!I started cutting myself about 5 months ago. I didn’t think it was that bad until my friend told me she cut herself and was getting a therapist. I knew I had to tell my mom. It was hard. I stayed up for a whole night thinking of what to do. I told my mom after school the next day. She was glad I told her and helped me. I went a week without cutting (hardest week ever). Unfortunately I started cutting again from stress. Then I found this app. It changed my life. I don’t know what I would do without it. I’m now 1 week without cutting. It may not seem like a lot but it is a big accomplishment for me. I just want to say thank you. This app is amazing..Soccerkitty12Version: 3.0

Sounds good!I found the app easy to use, which was helped by what I recognized as the utilization of many therapeutic techniques, including setting small, measurable goals, self-monitoring, and a strengths-based approach. Given that self-harm is not something I have personally experienced, I do not know how helpful it would be when used, but the design and functionality of the app make me think it would be an extremely useful resource for social workers to recommend for adolescent patients who struggle with self-harm. I think this would also be useful to incorporate into sessions with adolescents, where the clinician could inquire about what kinds of exercises helped dissipate the urge to harm..Jsgolden19Version: 4.2.1

Helps a lotI’ve been struggling with self harm for years now and it’s been pretty hard to manage. This app definitely helps a lot, and I love how it tracks your moods and lets you use a journal to keep track of your progress. The only thing I would suggest is that after you “ride the wave” it asks you to pick how you’re feeling (sad, numb, angry, etc.) and it only lets you pick one. It would be nice if it would let you pick multiple because there are some days when I feel both angry and sad equally. But other than that the app is awesome, but just keep in mind that it doesn’t work for everyone. Hugs!.Pumpkin buttercupVersion: 3.1.2

Good, Could be betterI think that this is a great app with a good intention, however, I feel as if some flaws exist. First of all, for most of the activities, I have no motivation to get up and do because it’s 3 AM in the morning and I’d just rather not. Second of all, I hate that I have to enter a password each time. I find that really aggravating, especially if I type in my password wrong. I think that the options to “ride the wave” out should be available every time you need it without having to log in. Maybe only have the user enter their password when they’re accessing their private information such as “number of times you’ve rode out the wave” or something. Otherwise, I find this app to be great!.Harmonizer872749301Version: 3.0

Login one timeI just got this app and it seems like it will be VERY helpful! This is my first comment on any app ever. I normally don't comment or review apps, but this one is important. The one problem I have with this app is that each time you enter the app you have to login. I know that when I am an emotional/mental unstable place it can be difficult to think of things like passwords or I might need help a little faster than it takes me to remember a password and then type it in. I understand this is probably for privacy reasons, but maybe there can be alternative ways of logging in? Otherwise this app is great and I am thankful it was created!.R b numeralVersion: 3.0

Right off the bat…I was curious about this app, and right away there’s this moving animation on the Home Screen that I can’t turn off. I tell you what, that would contribute to my stress if I were trying to get used to where I needed to go. There should be an option to toggle it off, or fade it out after a few repetitions. Right now it drives me bananas that there’s something there to distract me. Update: Thank you for the response. Pretty much anything that moves incessantly is going to be a distraction to someone easily distracted by moving objects… which is selected for among a pool of folks that are likely neurodiverse..KellyK376Version: 5.1.6

So many usesWhile I originally downloaded this app for its intended purpose many years back, I now use it more for anxiety and OCD than self harm. It’s particularly helpful for OCD when I’m struggling to not give into a compulsion. It’s helped me a LOT over the past month in taking positive steps to improve my hoarding problem—calming me down, distracting me, and comforting me when needed. I hope the app makers eventually recognize all the good this could do for other mental health issues and start advertizing it, but in the meantime, I’ll just be telling people myself. :).No it wasn't goodVersion: 5.1.6

Amazing but some things need to be fixedThis app is great, except the log in is so stressful and aggravating. when you tap on the bar that asks you to log in, it takes about 10 tries until the keyboard pops up and it makes me even more aggravated and upset than before. also i wish there was an option for a random activity so you didn’t have to scroll through every time and choose one. Otherwise this app has really been helpful and i highly recommend!!!.CarglesVersion: 4.0.1

Really helpful, discreet, and privateThis has really helped me slow down and not make any irrational or harmful choices. It has lots of different options for distractions, coping skills, releasing bad emotions, and the like. My favorite is the breathing exercise. It’s really simple and so effective. It’s discreet enough you can use it almost anywhere. I’ve used it to get over panic attacks at school, home, public areas. It works wonders. Plus, the app is very private in that it has you put in a password before you can enter the app, that way no nosy siblings or friends can invade your privacy..ThelibraryislifeVersion: 4.0.1

AmazingAs someone who has self harmed for years but has been trying to stay away from it, this app is amazing. Not only did it offer countless options to distract me or to help me through the wave-which the urge to cut is-it also reminded me I’m not alone. Even when I’m mad at the people around me, knowing someone out there made this app and wants to help you through the feelings is just overwhelming. The first few times it works you feel honestly so surprised to come out without having done anything to yourself. Thank you so much to the creators..Josie123456789&Version: 4.0

Didn’t like the password featureI found the app helpful when I could open it. Generally during the times I reallyyy needed it I would be too flustered and anxious to be able to type in my password correctly and then I think I misspelled my memorable word at the beginning because it kept saying it was wrong. But again, that might have been because I was not in a clear headspace to think about typing something correctly. When I needed the app I wanted and needed it to open right away, but instead I had to type a password in and that usually just made me more anxious and frustrated which was exactly what I didn’t need..RaurImaDinoVersion: 4.0

Thank you, Stem4.I use Calm Harm regularly on an iPhone 6s Plus and it has worked perfectly every time. Stem4, I find it difficult to find the words to thank you for this gift of your app. Your work has truly helped me; you’ve touched my life. Calm Harm is a vital tool in my toolbox among my other resources. However, in urgent times of need, Calm Harm has had an IMMEDIATE effect on my wellbeing. Stem4, if you decide not to update the app anymore, PLEASE shop it around to other organizations that may be able to take it over for you. Unless of course, you have other plans. I wish I had money to thank you for your hard work with this app. I have only my true, true gratitude and prayers to give you as long as I can. Calm Harm is indispensable to me. Stem4, please know you have made a difference in my life (and many, many others as well). Thank you..MatthewAVVersion: 2.1

StatisticsYou have an option to log some personal information (which includes your year of birth, gender, and if you’re currently receiving professional treatment) for research purposes. I looked around on the internet for a bit but wasn’t able to find anything. At least, nothing under your name. I think it would be really interesting looking at the data. Could you tell me where I might find it? Anyway, the app is awesome! You’re doing great!.Josi111223Version: 4.2.0

Great start, some issuesLike many other reviewers I wish the app did not require a password. When I'm stressed enough to use the app I can't remember a password. I understand it's for privacy, but should be an option to toggle the password requirement on or off. The app is directed at teenagers who self harm which I don't mind, but FYI I'm 49 and suffer severe anxiety and sometimes panic. I don't self harm. This app is going to have massive appeal to a much broader audience than the developers realize, because it's the first app to offer DBT distraction, calming and breathing techniques. Most important of all... I'd love it if I could add my own custom notes to the app. For example, the list of 5 minute distractions is good, but let me add my own for future use, things that I know work for me. Thanks so much for the app, it's great so far. I work in website and app development, so I hope my thoughtful feedback is useful making it even better for more people..StanislaviaVersion: 3.0

Childhood Problems Finally ResolvingI’ve had problems with self harming since I was a kid and I got over it for a while until I entered college this year. This app has been so helpful in helping me resist hurting myself when I feel like I’ve failed. My only problem is because of the way I will self harm I can start harming really quickly and because of the password on the app I sometimes find myself harming before I can even type the password to get in. Otherwise it has been a complete game changer for me..60036831000Version: 4.0.1

It’s great...when it works.I recently switched to the iPhone X. It worked perfectly fine on my 8 plus. However everytime I need to log in, the keyboard won’t pop up when I need to sign in. This frustrates me because I really depend on this app to help me get through tough days and I can’t when the app won’t work. But I highly recommend this app. Especially for people (like me) who struggle with their mental health and they’re not ready to talk to someone about it..AshaAliehVersion: 3.1.2

AmazingI’m 18 and began self-harming around 11. although over time it occurs much less frequently, every once in a while a really bad urge comes out. in more recent years ive started to feel much more insecure about my scars and have become more dedicated to bettering myself instead of hurting myself. having all these tools makes me really think about why i am feeling the need to hurt myself, immediately creating a sense of mindfulness that i often lack when i’m feeling so down and impulsive. it’s not simple- i have to think instead of just feel, and often have to repeat exercises several times- but along with the determination to finally quit, it ultimately keeps me from doing something i will absolutely regret later..Im stable nowVersion: 4.2.1

Wonderful for anyone struggling with mental healthJust downloaded this to see what it was like, and it was actually really, really nice. At the end of each session it has a journal and self survey that you can fill out so you can keep track of your experiences and see what helps you best. It also asks (generally) what was wrong and then gives you advice on how to deal with that problem or how to fix it. It also has a direct link to a help hotline and 911. Super cool app.GeorgiaTheFickleVersion: 4.0.1

Very helpful!There are a few things I think could be fixed, but other than that this is an extremely helpful app I think it would be good to have the breathing excessive last longer instead of it stopping every minute. I also wish the random category allowed you to do activities from all of the other categories instead of randomly selecting a category. Over all absolutely amazing!.Chinken nungetsVersion: 3.2

This app changed my lifeCalm Harm is the perfect app to help calm your self harming urges. Since I was 11 I was self harming and stopped soon after. I’m 13 now and my depression is doing so much better because of this. Thank you and just a reminder that all of you especially YOU reading this are amazing. I no longer self harm because I struggled to realize my worth and I self harmed to punish myself for existing. This app truly changed my life!!.Gerald The Betta :)Version: 4.2.0

Best thing everI usually use this when I feel angry to calm down, but it was a game changer today. My little brother tried to kill himself today. He’s ten years old. He was going to run into traffic. I used the breathing exercises and managed to calm him down. If not for this, my baby brother might have been dead. Thank you so much. I’ll never be able to repay this.🥰.PrincessH91607Version: 5.0.4

I like it but there’s one problem..I already did one activity where I really was desperate to self harm and I didn’t want to do it anymore after that. The only thing that annoys me about this app is everytime I exit out the app for a second and come back it always asks me to login with my password. It happens everytime I come on the app too which is very annoying to me. But other than that the app has really helped me so far :).C-h-u-c-k-y!Version: 4.0.1

Very helpfulThank you so much for developing this app-it sure helps alot of people :) Please just note that there are more ways than one that people harm themselves and some of those include hitting things or snapping a rubber band on the skin, even if these ways aren't as destructive as other, consider if they're really a good alternative, because that's still self harm. Thank you again though, for this app..Death.pleaseVersion: 3.0

Activities in appThis app is really great! Personally, I just use it to calm down when I feel nervous or feel an anxiety attack coming on, but I've seen it work for lost of different people in lots of different situations. My only suggestion is that in-app activities are added, not just suggestions of things for people to do on their own. I think adding that feature would make this app even better..Add latin pleaseVersion: 3.0

GREAT APP, Addressing password complaintsFirst off, this app has helped me so much and I am so grateful for it. As for the whole password issues. Write it down in case you forget. Also when the urge to self harm isn't very strong, at least for me, the act of having to type in a password makes me stop and think long enough to be like "don't do this". But, I think it does have it's pros and cons..Izzy. IVersion: 3.0

I love thisI’ve been depressed for a very long time now. It’s only now I’ve started to “🔪”. This year has been very hard on me so I was looking for some stress relief app when I found this. I didn’t have high hopes since most apps I tried didn’t really help me. But the activities on here really calm down my urge to cut. I would recommend!.MIA13345678Version: 5.1.6

Pretty good concept with room for improvement.My self harm is actually binge eating or snacking unecessarily. That being said this still seems to work a fair amount of time. The suggested improvements: •Needs Touch ID. Who has time to log in everytime? •When it asks you to list things it would be nice to put like 20-30 blank lines that can be typed on. Coming up with a mental list actually stresses me bc it feels like a test where I need to remember my answers. •How about a virtual dice or a virtual bubble wrap? It’s not entirely practical for me to keep things like that with me. •How shout a diary section or a way to vent or type as an addd feature of “support” or “distract”? Overall good app! Can’t wait to see it become a great app instead.IlovereesesVersion: 3.0

It’s a good appIt’s a really good app and it does work for people but for me it’s troubling to have to log in every time. I know people on here are like shut up just write down the password if you forget it but that’s not exactly the problem. Of course I don’t want people going through the app but it’s troubling to me that I have to log in every time when I’m close to self harming. Other than that this app really works!.AdalizzzaVersion: 3.2

Great app one suggestionI love this app, i’ve only used it for a little while now, but i’ve looked at (i think) all of the features. i know you can submit suggested exercises, but maybe we can make our own private exercises. so that we can feel more related to and it’s just hard to think when you’re in this position. i think it’d just be nice to have this option like “think about this person. think about talking to them and talking about your problems with them” if you know what i mean. and you could put it in whatever category you choose or even make a new category for like favorites for exercises a that help the most.AvmangoVersion: 4.2.0

Aside from minor bugs it’s the best app in the worldOccasionally there are some bugs like when it says how high the urge was i’ll tap on an answer but when i submit it it’s not there but aside from that this is the BEST APP EVER when i found it i had to show it to all my friends (because mentally unstable people gravitate towards eachother whoops) and it really helped some of them.PopopopopipopioioooooiVersion: 3.1

Still wonderful after 5+ yearsI downloaded this app ages ago when i was in a really bad spot and never ever wanted to delete it. back then, it helped me calm down and sit through my urges, and it still did that today when i opened it up again. i don’t use it as much as i used to, but it has been something i can always fall back on. it’s wonderful to see how much the app has genuinely improved! some of these apps end up getting greedy and gross but you can tell the people behind this genuinely just want to help. thanks guys :) over a year clean now (and counting!).TypetypetypetypetypeVersion: 5.2.2

Best tool for a counsellor to support kidsI am a counsellor and I work with teenagers and parents and I always recommend this app! It is the best app ever to avoid self harming. The only thing that would make the app even better (5 stars) would be if they could make into different languages (i.e. French or Spanish). If you are able to, you will make a counsellor very happy!! :).D.tg01Version: 4.2.1

Can’t log inI forgot my password AND my memorable word, is there a way to make a new account or something? I love this app and I cannot use it right now.UbglubVersion: 3.2

Recent problemsUsually a great app but it’s not letting me log in. I put in my password that I’m sure is right and it said it was wrong. So I put it the memorable word and changed the password but it still says it was wrong.Princess1105S@r@hVersion: 3.0

Calm Harm – manage self-harm Negative Reviews

Good idea but needs a lot of workThe app has a really good idea behind it but needs a lot of work. I just tested it out to see how things were recorded and couldn’t exactly find a place that allowed you to document when you self harmed, which is a major issue because when you’re trying to kick a major habit, a slip up should be expected and it’s important to keep them documented. Another issue I have is when you finish an activity and it asks you if the urge has passed. If you press no, it will just make you repeat the activity you just did or pick another one. Instead of immediately going to the next activity , I think it would be beneficial to have a quick check in as well as words of encouragement because many times when someone self harms, their level of loneliness is highly elevated. Some of the activities listed actually made me angry because they appeared to be ideas from someone who has never self harmed..Magdalena Ma'amVersion: 4.2.1

Too bare bones- hope they expand its featuresI was excited to see this app because, even though I don't cut, I do engage in self destructive behavior when my anxiety is high. Unfortunately, my experience with this app wasn't all that helpful...at least in its current iteration. Right now, it's mainly a countdown timer & a list of anxiety reducing activities. Which wouldn't be bad, except the majority of the activities can't be "performed" in-app. For instance, quite a few 'wave' actions are things like naming capital cities or doing multiplication tables. Cool, but.. it would be SO much easier if there was a space to type them in on the app vs having to go find a pen and paper. (Don't try to switch to your notes app either, because you'll get logged out :-/ ) Other activities require that you gather one or more objects that aren't always readily at hand, and trying to remember if there's any bubble wrap in the house or where there might be a stray rubber band at 3AM when you're already amped up? Well, it's decidedly NOT anxiety reducing...Howsabout a piece of virtual bubble wrap? Or some other virtual fidget toy? I'd also like to see them implement a small journal/note/emotion tracking feature, and some soothing music. (Like some wave sounds,for the wave counter). Altogether, I didn't find this truly helpful-for me- but I'm hopeful that the developers will expand on its feature set..SamgoodeVersion: 3.0

Lazy app, not helpfulVery stupid app. I was expecting little games or activities within the app but the whole thing just gives you a list of “ideas” of something to do, all of which are very lame and played out - snap a rubber band on your wrist, hold an ice cube, stretch, make a list, etc. We’ve all heard these suggestions before. This app is equivalent to just Googling “self harm distraction tips.” It doesn’t even give you a spot to type out anything for the list-based suggestions, just tells you to go find a pen. In an episode that is leading towards self-harm, people are not going to have the clarity or patience to go find supplies and do this kind of thing. Little distracting games that require focus or spaces to type things out or stress release activities that can be done within the app would be much more helpful than this. The only decent part was the breathing exercise. The rest of it is useless and frustrating enough to push someone over the edge in the moment. Don’t bother downloading this..Poison oak noVersion: 3.0

Great app, some bad ideas.What if you can’t remember your memorable word? Ironic, yes, but there are those of us with poor memory who can’t remember what our word was when we first created the account Lord knows when. So when those of us with poor memory are struggling with anxiety or having suicidal thoughts and it is 3AM and you can’t get help because your parents will notice, can’t log into our accounts, then what? Not very calming when you can’t log in. Sure, “there’s other apps, try those”, “call the hotline” (already covered that one), or other suggestions are out there. However, I shouldn’t have to download another app to cover what this one is lacking in and the hotline isn’t an option right now for me. Also, some of us are college students who live with their parents that struggle with mental issues and this app is great for people like me. The forgotten password issue is a no-go for me..Tiffani sVersion: 3.0

It didn’t help me at all :(When I downloaded this app, I thought I would be presented with distracting puzzle games to help ride out the urges and then get the occasional update on how far I progressed through the wave. Instead, I got timed mental word problems that added to my stress and self deprecation when I couldn’t bring myself to complete them. I know I’m not everyone and can genuinely recognize how helpful this can be for others, but for me it wasn’t helpful because when I dip that low in my depression all I can manage to do is hole myself up in a bundle of blankets and CAN’T EVEN MOVE let alone write or problem-solve. It’s more helpful for me to go back to my usual puzzle games, except without the positive reinforcement to help combat the self-harming thoughts..KreativelyKathrynVersion: 3.2

Great app...change the title on the iconI have now sent this suggestion in by email twice. This is a great app, I would love to use this app. But I can. Why? Because under the icon is the title “CalmHarm”. I am an adult. With kids who can read and see my phone all the time. I can’t have them seeing that. And I’m an adult. What about the hundreds and thousands of teens who struggle with self harm? I have teens. I know most of their friends would never put this on their phone simply because of that. Change it. List it as Calm or CH under the icon instead. I need this app. I know it can benefit so many but your title under the icon is leaving me and I’m sure many others out..JM092018Version: 3.1.2

Please help!It’s not working for me, I got onto the ride the wave thing but a text is on my screen and it’s not going away.ArianaririVersion: 5.1.6

Poor choice of distracting activitiesThough some activities can be quite helpful, I find many of the suggested activities to require too much time and resources. I tend to turn to calm harm when I am unable to turn to my friends especially, making the vast majority of activities useless as they require me to “phone a friend” even though I turn to calm harm when friends don’t respond especially when I am having a hard time late at night. I think these activities are still helpful, I just feel more isolated using calm harm when I am unable to use so many methods of calming down because of the time of day or fear of being rejected from friends..AppLuver999Version: 3.0
