Favorite
app *****
"I use
this app regularly to communicate to others how I'm feeling without needing to
get into an involved conversation.
I am autistic and emotions are difficult for
me to articulate in the moment. This app helps me change "I'm angry"
to "actually, I'm more frustrated and worried."
The granularity of
emotion definition helps me identify and label the different emotions
experienced in a moment rather than just being overwhelmed and shutting down.
This also helps me understand and choose the correct steps to resolve the
problem (in the case of negative emotions) or identify behavior to continue
(for positive emotions.)
I love using the cards with the emoticons. I would
like it if all the emotions were available in card format even without an
associated emoticon. That would make it possible to show exactly what I feel.
I
like how the cards are color-coded, too.
It's easy to say "I am having too
many green emotions" or "today is an orange day."
It's a lot
easier for me to have a conversation about solutions to what is bothering me
when I am able to break the emotional storm into its individual parts and
understand how they are working together.
