I Didn’t Think I Needed Help — Until Brisbi Helped Me Feel Again

By Anita, 24

I used to tell myself I was fine.
No, I wasn’t crying. No, I wasn’t having panic attacks. So I must be okay, right?

But deep down, I was emotionally shut down.
Everything felt… flat. I wasn’t excited, I wasn’t heartbroken — just floating through life. I didn’t think I needed help because I wasn’t falling apart.

Brisbi changed that.

It was a friend who sent me the link. She said, “I think you’d like this — it’s not therapy, but it helps.” And wow, was she right.

My first check-in with Brisbi surprised me. It offered the option to say I felt “numb.” No app had ever validated that before. The Brisbi AI responded with such warmth, I actually teared up.

It offered a 2-minute video from a creator sharing her own story of emotional disconnection. Then a journaling prompt that said:

“When was the last time you felt alive? What made you feel that way?”

That simple question unlocked something in me.

Over the weeks that followed, I started feeling again. Not just joy — but everything: frustration, grief, hope, desire. I joined a pod for “emotional disconnection,” and hearing others’ stories helped me feel human again.

Brisbi gave me language for my inner life, and the courage to feel it all — without judgment.
