My life ins't perfect but it's way better than it was! My parents were never there for me. When my past comes up my BF and partner helps me work through it.

Crying and punching things only helped for a little while. Then it was time to tackle my problems by learning how to deal with them.

The struggle I have to face every day is there but I know I'm not alone. There's support and advice always out there.

If I had a chance to talk to someone earlier I would have. Because all you need is for someone to listen.

Young adult feedback
Visually appealing app that benefits from support from a large sporting league. The app performs well and is well targeted to it's audience. The gym feature does not work and would need to be functional, however for young aspiring AFL players it is easy to recommend this app.
Expert feedback
I applaud the app for targeting a group who are low in help seeking in a way that normalises help seeking and increases the perceived value for its audience by relating the behaviours to sports people they look up to and respect, particularly by involving famous sports personalities in the app in videos. The exercises use a clever and creative approach and seem to be effective in addressing the concepts such as mindfulness. The appearance of the app is excellent, although some performance issues reduce the overall rating.

It's good knowing I'll get better eventually!
I mean sure, everyone has mood swings and hormonal moods. But I knew mine weren't just my hormones. One week I'd be extremely low and contemplating suicide. I didn't see a better life ahead. I had made many attempts to end my life because I was so low.
I'd have my normal days where I could just relax and sleep was normal. I'd focus moderately better and my behaviour was heaps better.
