Self-help for anxious moments
When anxiety takes over, Unrush gives you one clear next step

The problem
When anxiety spikes, even small decisions become hard
A racing heart, tight chest, or anxious thoughts make it difficult to choose what to do. Most apps hand you a library of exercises and ask you to pick. Unrush does the opposite: one short, guided route based on what you are feeling right now.
What helped me last time?
Is what I am doing actually helping?
Should I breathe, ground, distract, or call someone?
Use Cases
Four routes for four kinds of hard moments
Each route is short and self-contained. You do not need to know the right technique - just pick what fits and follow.
I am having panic
For racing heart, chest tightness, breathlessness, or sudden fear.
My anxiety is building
For a racing heart, breathlessness, shaking, or a sudden anxiety peak.

Frequently Asked Question
Slow your exhale, name what you can sense around you, and unclench your jaw and hands. Unrush guides you through a short panic protocol one step at a time so you do not have to decide what to do next. If you ever feel unsafe, contact emergency services or a qualified professional.
Grounding can help some people shift attention back to the present moment. Unrush uses short sensory and body-based prompts so the technique is easier to follow when thinking feels hard.
It is a simple sensory check-in: notice things you can see, feel, hear, smell, and taste. Unrush adapts that idea into short guided routes.
An app cannot replace care from a professional, but it can give you a calm structure when choosing the next step is hard.
Try describing a real object, pressing your feet into the floor, and naming where you are. Unrush includes a dissociation route built around those anchors.
