Ever since elementary school, I have struggled with OCD and anxiety, which have profoundly affected my daily life and well-being.
Anxiety affects 6.8 million adults or 3.1% of the U.S. population, yet only 43.2% are receiving treatment.
When people experience extreme anxiety or panic attacks in public, they can't quickly relieve the stress, which may lead to behaviors like nail-biting, hair-pulling, or self-harm.
Most products and services have overly complicated instructions or are too expensive to access, which is not user-friendly.
Most of the existing products in the the market for mental illness is medical products that most people do not want to bring along daily.
Imagine a product that offers quick, dignified relief from anxiety and stress.

The jacket features an inner design for instant stress relief, while maintaining an unchanged and discreet outer appearance.
Having a panic attack or stress moment in the public?
During my therapy sessions, I studied the parasympathetic nervous system and learned the following...
Activating the parasympathetic nervous system ("rest and digest") reduces stress by slowing heart rate and lowering blood pressure.
Grounding exercises, like deep breathing and sensory focus, help switch from "fight or flight" to a relaxed state.
