i lost my little brother to suicide coming up on three years now. it was a week before my birthday. at a time when i had quit my job and was getting ready to do my big swing into being a "founder". losing him immediately got rid of any motivation or ambition i had. all that was replaced with this very obvious feeling of immense grief. i had always been some one who talked about mental health as an undertone in everything that i did. I think it matters more than ever in our daily lives. even though my brother passed while dealing with psychosis. the feeling of "you could have done something" will never not go away. the reality is that life is always going to hit you with something. could be work or your personal life. life has its ups and downs. the good and the bad. i want to be some one who builds things that help you through the bad. something that's helped me with the bad has been journaling. i started doing it after dealing with panic attacks for the first time in my life during covid. went from being some one who was traveling the world, hustling. overall achieving every goal i had set out for myself. to being some one who would panic in any group setting after 20 minutes. so when my brother passed i understood the power of sitting down with your thoughts. to live in a world where everything is optimized to make you turn your brain off. i didn't want to revert to that at the most sensitive time of my life. in the two years i was deep in grief i started working on my app GuudMind. an journaling app that actually helps you process whats going on in your mind. ive tried "launching" it before but that just looked like one tweet with a few reposts from friends. the benefit of using GuudMind while working through my grief is being able to make something that solved a problem i was having. 2 years of me and a handful of friends using it just because. no real intention of making anything grow. it's helped out alot and i think it can help many more people. now that i have built myself back up. i got a job, moved out of my parents house again. ran a marathon. i feel like myself again and finally ready to go after this challenge of chipping away at the mental health crisis we are currently dealing with. at the end of the day i just want people to be comfortable with reflecting on their emotions. i believe better general self awareness can only be a positive for a person's life. :) if you would like to help out with tips or design. i would love that!
