Stand 8

As someone who has suffered from anxiety and depression for a number of years, over the first national lockdown I decided I would utilise my skillset (in technology) to develop a tool that helped with building awareness of the positive and negative influences happening in my everyday life. With that, Stand 8 was born. It has helped me gain insights on the things that make me feel down/stressed etc, and I think it could be useful for other too. The name Stand 8 come from a Japanese proverb which goes along the lines of ‘Fall down seven times, Stand up 8’ which I take to mean 'to carry on trying, even when times are hard'
