How it works · Mental Note

1You write a note. You don't need an account or your name. Just write whatever's on your mind.

2We read it. Both of us read every note, usually the same day or the next.

3We put it up on the wall. The only notes we leave off are ones that describe ways to hurt yourself or name a real person.

4Someone else reads it. It stays on the wall for that week's theme, and after that it goes in the archive.

Questions people ask us

When are you launching? Soon. We'll announce it on Instagram when it's ready.

Who will read my note? Just the two of us.

Will it be anonymous? Yes. We won't ask for your name. If you sign up for our emails, that list will be kept apart from the notes.

Will you see my check-ins in the app? No. They'll stay on your phone.

Are you therapists? No. We're high school students.

What if I'm not okay right now? Please call or text 988, or text HOME to 741741. You'll reach a real person right away.
