I like the fact it understands the specific things that I am anxious about because of autism like social situations and sensory stuff. I would like to have better rating scales for anxiety and add depression too.

Been using this app fairly consistently for over a year. In general, I quite like it, It's nice to keep track of my biggest worries and to measure my anxiety. But I've been having trouble using it the past few days... I try to open it, and it tells me it's having issues connecting to the servers and won't actually open. I've turned off and on my Wi-Fi and 4g, cleared the cache (which sometimes helps in other apps) etc. I don't know what to do. I had a check in streak of like 120ish days going.

I would like if we could check in more than once a day... My anxiety fluctuates constantly and the app helps a little, but it only lets you check in once a day.

I need to check in daily to make the most of Molehill, as an Autistic person it's been recommended to me twice now. X

The primary intended use of this app is to collect research data on anxiety scores for Autistic to send to King's College London, this was not clear to me at the start but when reading the privacy policy. The process of sizing worry bubbles is too abstract to be meaningful and molehill mountain sounds like a very silly place. Popping worries each day when they appear randomly from different places on the mountain only remind me of my worries, make me feel like they will always return and can come from anywhere. The name is clearly a reference to the English phrase "making mountains out of molehills" which seems very presumptuous and disrespectful. The daily hints remind me of advice from bad mental health teams, things like 'Try not to be anxious'. I haven't managed to get through a whole week or honestly more than one day. It actually made me stressed. Only good thing was it didn't suggest making endless cups of tea.

Saw CBT, immediate uninstall, having been put on Deciders Skill CBT that was not designed for Autistic People despite raising concerns. Therefore, I immediately distrust anything using it. CBT is designed to teach conformity and re masking, masquerading as 'treatment' for everything from BPD - Tinnitus on the cheap. CBT doesn't deal with the causes of whatever it is being used to 'treat', instead it teaches us to gaslight ourselves.

Description by Autistica Written by the developer, not by AppBrain. Click to read.
Molehill Mountain has been developed by Autistica and King’s College London to help autistic people understand and self-manage their anxiety.
We have worked with closely autistic people at every stage in developing Molehill Mountain to ensure that it is easy for autistic people to use and is relevant to their needs.
Molehill Mountain is based on Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), a well-established and clinically proven technique for managing the symptoms of anxiety. The app has been developed with the full involvement of Professor Emily Simonoff, Dr Ann Ozsivadjian and Dr Rachel Kent from the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology & Neuroscience (IoPPN) at King’s College London.
Most autistic people experience anxiety on a regular basis. Around eight out of ten will have symptoms of anxiety – and of these, three or four will have enough symptoms to be given a diagnosis of anxiety disorder.
Molehill Mountain allows you to track your worries and identify the situations that trigger your anxiety. Your daily check-ins are plotted on a chart which allows you to identify pattern and trends – and you can also display a previous check-in to help you identify recurring triggers for your anxiety.
Over time, you unlock tips that will help you to understand your anxiety and learn ways to manage it. The daily tips have been completely rewritten for this new version of Molehill Mountain. In addition, we have added dozens of extra mini-tips to cover many of the common causes of anxiety and stress in autistic people, such as hypersensitivity to noise, light and touch or difficulties with social situations and communication.
The app also has interactive CBT activities which you can use at any time. These draw upon well-established and clinically proven techniques and are designed to help you to recognise and overcome unhelpful patterns of thinking.
The development of Molehill Mountain has been supported by:
• The Maudsley Charity
• The Worshipful Company of Information Technologists’ Charity
• The Pixel Fund
