mild, flu-like symptoms. Just describes how I feel since february and I'm not sure, whether it's for a hidden Covid (business travelled to Spain, when they found their first case, around 2 weeks, before they closed down...) or the depressive mood-swings I had in the past.

That sounds not good, you should look for help. Maybe writing an App would help you drive the negative mood way ?

You might be able to schedule a meeting with a psychologist online due to covid. Could be a good idea.

Hope you feel better soon ;-)

Or maybe see a doctor?

I like the idea! However, I don't know much about psychology, so I'd personally be hesitant to create such a product. Certainly "releasing emotions" without a therapist could be somewhat dangerous for some people. And perhaps what actually helped him isn't using the app, but a new sense of purpose or meaning in his life due his discovery of the book and developing the app.

It'd probably be wise to consult an expert on the psychological backgrounds.
