A quiet space to walk through a worry,

decide what to do about it, and look back over time at the patterns in what you worry about.

A note before anything else

What this isn't

anxietrees isn't therapy, a crisis line, or a medical service. If you need help right now, please use one of the resources at the bottom of this page.

How it works

A short, structured way through

  1. You type a worry. The app helps you break it into smaller pieces, then asks, for each one, whether there is something you can actually do about it.

  2. Anything actionable becomes a short list of next steps. Anything that isn't gets a brief, calm technique to ease your way through it.

  3. Every tree you plant is saved. Over time, the picture of what you've worried about, and what came of it, builds up into a quiet, growing record of your own thinking.

Why we're building it

A growing record, reflected back

General-purpose chat tools forget what you told them five minutes ago. We think the useful thing isn't another conversation — it's a quiet, growing record of what's actually been on your mind, reflected back to you carefully.

Most worries don't come true. The research suggests that's roughly true for everyone; over months, anxietrees can show you whether it's true for you, in your own words.
