I've recovered from a 20-year battle with PTSD and schizophrenia. My mental health is better than it has ever been. But that doesn't mean everything’s perfect:
Therefore, I'm always looking for new ways to continue my recovery. Life is about striving to improve ourselves. That's why I'm grateful to have been introduced to a new app called Me.bot. What's Me.bot?I think of Me.bot as a second brain. I can use it on the go to remember anything so that I don't have to. Me.bot will handle PDF's, links, any thoughts I put into it and even voice memos. It does all the organizing for me. I can then ask it to find what I need, and it does the hard work for me - quickly and efficiently. The most exciting thing about Me.bot for me is that it uses AI to link your notes and come up with inspiring new ideas. The icing on the cake is that Me.bot gives privacy and safety regardless of your chosen device. It's parent company Mind OS adheres to the United States Data Protection guidelines and the General Data Protection Regulation. How I'm using Me.bot to improve my mental healthNotesI first discovered the benefits of Me.bot when I started using it to vent. Stress and anxiety go hand in hand with mental illness. One always makes the other one worse. Over the years, my family have been wonderful - they listen to my problems and let me rant before calming me down. They make me feel better, but it has a negative effect on them. Now I can vent to an app. I can dump my thoughts into Me.bot to review later. Once I've calmed down, I can look for patterns in my thoughts and even find triggers to pay attention to in future. These are some examples of exactly how I've been using Me.bot to vent recently:
Mental illness is like a storm in the mind. When it passes, the anxiety drops even when the situation hasn't changed. Later that day, I'd forgotten all about this realization. It was only by coming back to Me.bot that I remembered. This will help in future because I'll know that when the "storm" comes I need to stay calm and remind myself that this too shall pass.
Inspiration.Being able to store thoughts and ideas is fantastic enough, but what makes Me.bot exceptional is its use of AI to help you solve problems and combine your notes into new ideas. First, I clicked on "ask" and asked the AI to "inspire me" based on recent notes. Previously, I'd come up with a title for this newsletter and stored it in Me.bot. The AI told me: You've been using Me.bot to positively impact your mental health. It's great to see how technology can be a supportive tool in managing well-being. Regarding seeing mental illness as a storm in the mind, Me.bot told me: This metaphor beautifully captures the transient nature of mental struggles. Information.If you click on one of your notes, an option appears to "Connect the dots". Going back to the note I made about what my readers are struggling with, one of the answers was describing the gap between becoming aware of a trauma and fixing it. I put this as a note in Me.bot. In the "Connect the dots" section, it gave me the option to learn: How can I better understand the gap between trauma discovery and recovery? Me.bot recommended:
I can now make these recommendations notes and go as far down the rabbit hole as I choose. All of this from 1 simple note. Conclusion.I haven't even scratched the surface yet of what Me.bot can do but already it is making my life easier and happier. Everything I've told you in this article can be done for free on the app, but there are paid plans available if you want to upgrade. I'd recommend this product to anyone struggling with their mental health. Soon I'll show you how I'm using Me.bot to help with creativity. Click here for the web version |
