Are you interested in using the MyPsyDiary app, but are hesitant? To help you on your journey toward self exploration, we have conducted a series of interviews with satisfied users. Please see below one very happy customer!
As a background, the MyPsyDiary app is an interactive wellness tool that allows iPhone and iPad, and Android phone and tablet users to track and improve their mental health during the global crisis such as the Australian Bush Fires and the COVID-19 global pandemic. This interview represents a first in a series of interviews we will be conducting to obtain first hand information on the many uses of the MyPsyDiary app.
MyPsyDiary Today we are meeting with Jamie to discuss her experience with using MyPsyDiary app, an innovative wellness tool to help users to monitor and improve their mental health. Good morning Jamie. Can you explain how you found out about MyPsyDiary and what were the circumstances surrounding your use?
Answer: I was looking for something to help me with relaxation.
MyPsyDiary We know that the app offers a comprehensive suite of features such as the ability for users to track their emotional responses to events, plan activities, set goals, apply positive thinking strategies, listen to pre-recorded relaxation exercises, and access psychoeducation information for improved mental health. Of these, which ones were you most drawn to and which were the most helpful?
Answer: I use the relaxation exercises and diary the most. I found the relaxation exercises and my reminders as the most helpful for me.
MyPsyDiary Two key aspects of the MyPsyDiary app are mobility and the ease with which users may participate in guided wellness activities. Can you tell us more about your experience in this regard?
Answer: I love that I can add photos that make me feel happy wherever I am, and add songs to a playlist in the settings part of the app that means I have access to soothing music anytime I need.
MyPsyDiary Can we talk a little about the MyPsyDiary graphical user interface, did you find it easy to use?
Answer: It is very easy to use. I like that once you start one activity it takes you to the next spot. If I am feeling sad it will ask me if I would like to feel better, showing me how to. I also like that you can use the little microphone at the top of the diary screen as spelling is not my strong point. I can just push it and say how I am feeling.
MyPsyDiary This is great. May we talk about time commitment and how often you used MyPsyDiary app?
Answer: I use the app every day, mostly at nights. As I am a mum, nights are for me. Only takes a few minutes to fill out.
MyPsyDiary Thanks, this is very interesting. How did you keep track of the exercises you completed? Answer: I use the log my entry button to add how I feel. Then I can go to my diary page to see my progress. There is also the graphs to look out which show my progress.
MyPsyDiary What would you say to potential MyPsyDiary app users who are concerned about privacy? Is there some information you can give them to reassure them?
Answer: It’s great. All my information is secure once the app is not on the screen. It makes you login again. If I was to get out of it to go into something else, when going back to the MyPsyDiary app I need to login again. I love this as no one can access your information.
MyPsyDiary Thanks, how has the use of the MyPsyDiary app changed your life?
Answer: I love this app, especially in between appointments with my psychologist. Sometimes I can suffer extreme anxiety in between appointments so I can jump on the app and listen to a relaxation. The breathing control exercise helps with my anxiety.
