This is the blog for Mood Apps, a mobile app development company dedicated to developing apps that support mood management, and more specifically for their Android app Mood Sentry. Mood Sentry is designed to support people in therapy for mood disorders such as anxiety and depression. Mood Sentry (www.moodsentry.com) supports a cognitive therapy approach to mood management. I'll post thoughts relevant to my efforts to manage my depression and how I use Mood Sentry.

Planing to Demonstrate Mood Sentry
I'm planning to demonstrate Mood Sentry to some local (Long Beach, CA area) therapists. It will take a week to print the post cards and mail them out, which means I won't be able to demonstrate the app for a couple of weeks. My thoughts are waffling between having a constructive interaction and having a confrontational interaction. That's the all or nothing thinking I'm prone to poking its head up. I've been able to capture these thoughts as they come up. I forecast that I'll be ridiculed for thinking that I can make an app to help others or for making this app without any training in the field of psychotherapy. I counter these thoughts by imagining people showing up generally interested in checking the app out to figure out if it can help them in their practice, and giving me open/honest feedback. I'm wondering how many other apps do this, or do they just publish and forget? There's 2 more thoughts that go through my mind, one is that nobody will RSVP or show up, and the other is that all the therapists I contact will RSVP and show up. The second one is unlikely. I'm not sure about the first, but if that does in fact happen then I'm in the same boat I am now. No worries.
