Rise Up + Recover: An Eating Disorder Monitoring and Management Tool for Anorexia, Bulimia, Binge Eating, and EDNOS

You probably have a lot of vulnerable people using this app for their mental health, and I immediately deleted the app after I saw "what you think is what you become". People have OCD you know. I'm sure there was no harm in it, but I thought I'd say something so you can use better quotes in the future so you don't trigger people. 🤍🫶🏻

This app has been a life saver for ed recovery trying to do it on my own, its very helpful for keeping track and it overall feels so positive i love it so much

Rise Up + Recover is an app that helps monitor and provides strategies to cope. I found this app to be extremely useful as it allows check-ins, meal logs, coping skills, and an extras column. Each category goes into depth providing the user to log all symptoms and work on healing. To begin you are given a check-in where you put the emotions you are experiencing, the disordered actions you have with eating, and drugs or medication you may have taken that day. This allows you to track your progress throughout your time on the app. For your day-to-day eating, you are given a meal log which helps course what you consume, the time you ate, who you ate with, feelings, ED behaviors done during, before, or after meal, and extra comments. Along with that, after posting the log an inspirational quote is given to you. Coping strategies listed include calling someone who can help, recognizing beauty in things around you, journaling, being mindful in everyday life, and making admiration of relationships. For extras it allows you to find support through Recovery Warriors, music to motivate in recovery, podcasts and magazines on recovery, support, and treatment. The app is good for tracking and finding correlations between your eating habits. Yet, it has many faults. It could use a lot more skills to help treat; such as, adding Cognitive Behavioral Therapy resources like we talked about in my Abnormal Psychology Class, more coping techniques, and encouraging medication for severe cases. CBT can be extremely important as it helps maintain the individual's psychological stress. It uses self-monitoring well allowing the individual to track progress. By adding more CBT techniques the app could really help those struggling. Along with that, adding more coping techniques can help such as more journaling topic and more affirmation. Overall the app is really goo for tracking and monitoring disordered eating but could be expanded.

I pinky promise I’m not a bot. I’ve been struggling with an ED for two years. Bulimia to be specific. My bf showed me this app and I have got increasingly better. It gives out helpful journaling activities, even recommends them with a short survey. I’ve seen some people have an issue with the inability to look back on progress but I also keep a physical journal as well so that is not an issue for me.

This is exactly what I was looking for but the app is broken. You can’t export the meals recorded to send to your doctor. The email button is broken.

You can’t email a report or contact the developer for help.

This app is so much better than recovery record. It is more user friendly & less triggering

Pretty cool

This is exactly what I was looking for. I wanted an app to log my food, the situation around it, and track helpful and unhelpful behaviors. I’ve used Recovery Record but outside of treatment, I found it cumbersome and too clinical, and there were required fields I didn’t always want to answer. This will allow me to enter as much or as little as I have time for. The one thing I wish it had was a photo option, which was useful in RR for adding details later. All in all though, I’m very happy to have found this.

Wow, this helped me so much along with those random helpful quotes. Everything is just spot on and completely utterly lovely. I would love to make an account to save all this somehow and I love that we can add our own emotions and request things. This app is by far the best recovery app.
