I’ve been in a similar loop — going non-stop, constantly switching between roles and responsibilities, and then wondering why I felt so off. I started tracking my emotions in a notebook, trying to figure out what I needed or wanted, and all it did was make me feel more confused. Like, great, I’m sad again — now what? What finally helped was having something a little more structured but still low-pressure. I started using the liven after someone mentioned it in a podcast, and I was kind of skeptical at first — most of these apps feel super generic or way too “positive vibes only,” but this one felt different. It actually walked me through exercises that made sense, like figuring out where certain thoughts were even coming from, and how I was responding to them out of habit. The weirdest part? I realized I had no clue what my actual values were. I’d been living by a mix of expectations and old stuff that didn’t fit anymore. The app didn’t tell me what to do but gave me the space to figure it out without judgment. One feature that really stuck with me was how it helped me set boundaries without making me feel guilty about them — that’s been huge, especially with people I love but who can be emotionally demanding. It’s not like a fix-all, but it’s definitely been a steady reminder that I’m allowed to change and prioritize myself without blowing up my life.
