That feeling hits me. "Melup" is a PMS/menstrual date prediction and mindfulness app supervised by a doctor, born from the desire to help women suffering from PMS (premenstrual syndrome).

■I want to relieve the "mood fluctuations" that occur every month with mindfulness.
"It's because of female hormones, and it's not your fault."
If you could say, ``It's not your fault that you're weak,'' how much your heart would feel better.
If we were able to ride the rough waters of our hearts and challenge ourselves to do what we truly want to do, our lives would become easier.
With this in mind, the mindfulness app ``Merupp'' was born.

At Merup, we prevent irritation by knowing about your discomfort in advance, and use mindfulness to alleviate the mood swings and self-loathing that occur every month, and help you cope with the difficulties of life.

■Functions of “Merupp”
[Mindfulness audio guide supervised by a doctor]
Equipped with a mindfulness voice guide function that relieves mood and pain during PMS and menstrual periods.

Dr. Akiko Yamashita, a medical doctor and representative of Mindful Health Co., Ltd., will be in charge of supervision and guidance, and will deliver a guide based on correct knowledge.
Additionally, with Yoka Hazuki, who provides courses on MBSR (Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction), which is used in research, even beginners can experience full-fledged mindfulness, such as mindful yoga that can be done while lying down. .

[Wake-up alarm function, sleep introduction guide, nature sounds ASMR]
``I can't do anything when things are tough'' is the true opinion of people who suffer from PMS, menstrual periods, and the emotional depression that accompanies them.

For the purpose of simply relaxing, we offer sleep alarms, yoga before bedtime, and the experience of falling asleep while listening to natural sounds recorded in the great outdoors, as functions that help you feel irritable or sluggish. I have prepared it.

The recorded sounds include natural sounds from Itoshima, Fukuoka Prefecture, which is rich in nature, and were recorded and edited by Mr. Okamoto, representative of Studio 10, who has worked on numerous game sounds, to deliver a relaxing experience with high-quality sounds. .

[Easy! Menstrual date management, emotional stamps and physical condition diary]
It will give you an opportunity to become aware of your own body and mental patterns, and it will help you to stop feeling self-loathing by separating the feelings (your mind) of ``it's my fault'' and ``it's my fault'' from your physical ailments.

Equipped with a function to log your mood with 5 emotional stamps, and record your menstrual cycle and physical condition, designed to allow you to easily record while relaxing while listening to natural sounds automatically playing in the background. We also help people who feel like they don't have time for themselves because they are worried about being seen, or mothers raising children who are sleep deprived to make time for themselves, even if it's just for 5 minutes before going to bed at night.
The functional design of this diary is based on techniques used in counseling such as cognitive behavioral therapy and ACT. We are currently conducting further research, based on scientific evidence and accurate information, in order to increase effectiveness.

[Partner sharing function during PMS period]
We are conscious of the issue of prejudice, such as those who have experienced unwarranted misunderstandings and been placed in a disadvantageous position in society due to the emotional instability caused by PMS symptoms, and have introduced the partner sharing function, which is a paid function in many menstruation apps. Merup is provided free of charge.

By encouraging men to understand the times when PMS is most likely to occur, we aim to provide an opportunity for partners to understand PMS and menstruation and overcome difficult times together.
*Only menstrual periods and PMS forecasts will be shared. The contents of your diary will not be shared.
　　　
[PMS period/low pressure forecast]
I feel irritated for some reason. Do you ever have such a time?
When we look into the cause of our irritation, we often find that it is actually due to physical discomfort.

When the irritating period of migraine (headache caused by low atmospheric pressure) or PMS comes around, you will receive an irritating forecast from Merup, and you can learn about the characteristics of PMS and how to deal with it. You can feel a little lighter by easily knowing the cause of your irritation, like fortune telling or a personality test.

■What is PMS?
PMS refers to unpleasant feelings and physical symptoms that occur a few days before menstruation.
Characteristics include feeling sleepy during the day, having trouble falling asleep, and eating too much.
You may find it difficult to control your feelings, as you may find yourself blaming those around you or lose motivation.

The data shows that PMS (premenstrual syndrome) is a symptom that occurs in some form in 70-80% of women, and that 5.3% of women feel that their PMS symptoms are moderate or severe, while PMDD (premenstrual dysphoric disorder: PMS symptoms It is said that there are 1.2% of people who suffer from severe disabilities that seriously impede their social life. Combining these, 6.5% of women suffer from severe PMS symptoms, which means that approximately 1.82 million people in the population suffer from it.
