shitfixer.app← BackHow this works
shitfixer.app simulates a good friend who is, above all, a good listener — someone who lets you vent, then gently helps you see the situation more clearly.
Is this therapy?
No. This is not a substitute for professional help. If you're in crisis or struggling with your mental health, please talk to a qualified therapist, counselor, or doctor. Think of this as a thoughtful friend on a good day — not a clinician.
The "shitty first draft"
From Brené Brown's Dare to Lead. When something upsetting happens, our brain instantly writes a story to explain it — usually a self-protective, worst-case one. That first draft is rarely the truth. Naming it as a draft gives you room to rewrite it.
Cognitive distortions
From David Burns' Feeling Good. These are common thinking traps — all-or-nothing thinking, mind reading, catastrophizing, "should" statements, and more — that bend the facts of a situation into something heavier than they need to be. Spotting them helps you reframe the problem more positively without changing what actually happened.
What it actually does
It listens first. Then it helps you separate the bare facts from the story you've wrapped around them, points out any distortions quietly, and helps you tell a better, truer version — one you can actually act on.
Purpose
To use AI as a tool to reduce suffering and encourage optimism.
