My name is Aaron, a 32 year old Christian from Singapore.
MentalJourney was born out of my personal journey through trauma, anxiety, and a deep fear of death.

In December 2022, my life changed completely. There was a fire in my office building. Smoke started filling the air, and we had to evacuate. I went up to the rooftop, hoping the open air would calm me down. But as I stood there, everything suddenly collapsed inside me.

I could not breathe.
My chest tightened, my hands and legs went numb, and my heart was racing out of control. I felt trapped inside my own body. Panic surged through me like a wave I could not escape.

I saw a passerby and called out for help, asking him to please call for an ambulance. He did, and he stayed by my side.
As we waited, everything got worse. My breathing became shallow. My vision blurred. My mind screamed for oxygen. I kept changing positions, lying down, sitting up, crouching forward but nothing helped. Every second felt like a lifetime.

In those moments, I was sure I was dying.
And as I gasped for air, I realised something that struck deeper than any physical pain. I was not ready to die. I did not know what would happen after death. I was completely unprepared, not just physically, but spiritually and emotionally. I was fighting to live, but I had no peace about where I was going.

That day changed everything.
After that, I was diagnosed with PTSD, Panic Disorder, and Health Anxiety. What followed were some of the hardest years of my life. Panic attacks began to follow me everywhere - while driving, eating, walking, even lying in bed. I could not go far from home. Eventually, even my own room no longer felt safe.

Therapy gave me tools to manage the symptoms, but it could not reach the root of my fear. Because deep inside, I was not just afraid of panic. I was afraid of death itself. I was terrified of the unknown.

That fear drove me to search for truth.
To overcome my fear of death, I needed to understand what happens after we die, why we are here, and what my life truly meant. I began reading about different religions and philosophies, searching for answers that were not only comforting but also evidence-based, logical, and coherent. I wanted truth that could withstand questions, not just something that felt good to believe.

But nothing gave me peace until I discovered the message of Christianity as a Christian by culture. I learned who Jesus really is - not just a figure in history, but the living Son of God who entered our suffering, conquered death, and offered us eternal life.

I began to see how deeply God loved us and how He never stopped reaching out to me even in my lowest moments. When that truth sank in, everything clicked.

It was like seeing the world in color after living in black and white.

For the first time, I understood that death was not the end.
I realised that life has meaning because it comes from God, the source of all love and life itself.

I finally understood what Jesus meant when He said that the greatest commandments are to love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your mind, and all your soul, and to love your neighbour as yourself.

It was no longer just a teaching. It was the very design of our existence, that we were created to know God, to love Him, and to reflect His love to others.

Everything we chase in this world be it success, comfort or recognition fades in comparison to the joy of living in God’s love and sharing that love with others.

That truth changed how I saw everything. It gave my life direction, meaning, and peace that nothing else could offer.

When I surrendered my fears and my life to Jesus, peace finally entered the place where panic once lived. The fear that used to control me began to lose its power. The anxiety that once crippled me started to fade. In its place came a peace so real, so still, and so unshakable that I knew it could only come from God.

Philippians 4:6-7 says, “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”

That verse became the heartbeat of my life.
Prayer became my lifeline. Scripture became my anchor. And through both, I found my purpose which is to build a place where others could experience the same peace, love, and hope that saved me.

That is how MentalJourney was born.
It is more than an app. It is a sacred and quiet space where anyone can ask for prayer, pray for others, share their story, and reflect on Scripture.

It is a community built on faith and compassion, living out 1 Thessalonians 5:11 — “Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing.”

When we pray for one another, we lift each other’s burdens. When we share our stories, we remind others that they are not alone. When we reflect on Scripture together, we allow God’s Word to breathe healing and hope into our hearts.

MentalJourney exists for this purpose - To bring people together in faith, to help them rediscover peace, and to remind every soul that God is near, even in the silence.

Healing begins with prayer.
And sometimes, one heartfelt prayer can change a life.

God bless you all.
