Small piece of product feeback related to grammar:

The landing page asks, how are you feeling? For which the possible responses are "Anxiety", "Procrastination" ... "Overwhelm".

When a person says, I a X, X is always an adjective. One doesn't say "I am Irritability" one says "I am irritable".

All of these options are nouns, except for "Overwhelm" which is actually only a verb but is being used incorrectly as a noun.

The correct responses would be "Anxious", "Hyperactive", "Overwhelmed", "Irritable".

Except for "Procrastination", which doesn't have any associated adjective. You might need to rephrase the whole header
