My First iOS App for Men's Mental Health

 I’ve been quietly working on something that I’m both nervous and proud to share — my very first iOS app for men’s mental health, built completely from scratch. After many late nights of learning, debugging, and pushing through doubts, I’ve officially submitted it to Apple for approval.

The app, part of my StrengthInMen project, is designed to support men with practical tools like journaling, mood tracking, and daily motivation. My hope is that it becomes a safe and helpful space for men who are working on their self-improvement, recovery, and personal growth — whether you’re navigating divorce, rebuilding confidence, or just looking for ways to strengthen your mental fitness.

I’ll be the first to admit — it’s not the best looking app yet (UI design is something I’m still learning), but that’s where I’d love your help. Feedback and suggestions would mean the world to me — both for making the app more visually appealing and, more importantly, making sure it’s actually useful to your needs.

Men’s mental health often doesn’t get the spotlight it deserves, and this is my small step toward changing that. This men’s mental health app is just the beginning, and with your input, I’ll keep improving it — one update at a time.

If you have ideas for features, content, or design improvements that would make it more helpful — please reach out. Together, we can build something that truly serves men who need it most.

My Story and How StrengthInMen Came

Why I Created StrengthInMen: From Rock Bottom to Purpose I didn’t set out to start a blog. I didn’t plan to create a platform. I just wanted the pain to stop. When I was going through my divorce, everything around me collapsed. My marriage was gone. My confidence shattered. I felt completely alone. No one to talk to. No support system. Just silence. I fell into a dark place— deep depression ,  anxiety attacks , and emotional numbness that scared me. I turned to  alcohol and  CBD  to escape the reality I didn’t want to face. And all the while, I worried about the impact this would have on my kids. What kind of father would they remember? What kind of example was I setting? In desperation, I even went to my ex-wife’s parents—people I once called family—and asked for help. But none came. They wanted to stay out of it. And that cut even deeper. I felt like a complete failure. I kept hoping my ex-wife would come back, even after the betrayal and chaos. I made a lot of mis...

Broke Down

Today Was a Difficult Day, But I’m Still Standing Today hit me hard. Sometimes life feels like too much—and this was one of those days. The weight of everything I’ve been carrying just broke me. I felt  overwhelmingly burdened  by all the stress, uncertainty, and emotional pain I’ve been trying to keep inside. And finally, I cracked. I broke down. Dropped to my knees. And I prayed. A Moment of Raw Surrender In that moment, I cried out to God. I asked Him to: Lead me when I feel lost Help me be a better steward of what He's given me Take away these battles I can’t seem to win Use me for something greater Forgive me for my mistakes and my doubts Every emotion I had bottled up came pouring out. I wasn’t trying to look strong. I wasn’t trying to fix anything in that moment. I just needed to be seen. Heard. Held. And the incredible thing? I felt better afterwards. Lighter. Calmer. Like I wasn’t carrying it alone anymore. Struggling With My Health The emotional weight I’ve been deal...

Meaning in all of this

  Trying a Different Approach with StrengthInMen on TikTok Lately, I’ve been experimenting with a different approach for StrengthInMen’s TikTok account. In the past, most of my posts were motivational quotes—something short, powerful, and easy to consume. But I started to feel like that wasn’t enough. I wanted to go deeper. So I began posting more about my own journey —the daily hardships I face, the moments I break down, and the things I do to keep moving forward. It felt like the right thing to do—more honest, more personal, more real . But It's Been Quiet So far, those posts haven’t gained much traction. The likes and follows are low. The reach isn’t what I hoped for. And I’ll be honest: it’s discouraging. I’m not chasing fame. I’m trying to connect with other men who are struggling—just like I was (and still am). And when the message doesn’t seem to land, it starts to feel like maybe I’m missing the mark. That’s the last thing I want. I don’t want to just post for the...
