Worry Time Planner
Worry time is a short slot you choose so worries have a place to land instead of running all evening. Type a start time and minutes. We show when the slot ends. It is a planner, not a mental health test and not treatment.
Your details
Choose a start time and how many minutes the worry slot lasts.
What is this calculator?
Worry time is a short slot you choose so worries have a place to land instead of running all evening. Type a start time and minutes. We show when the slot ends. It is a planner, not a mental health test and not treatment.
How it works
- Pick a start that you can keep, often after work and before screens-in-bed.
- Keep the slot short. Ten to twenty minutes is a common sketch.
- When the clock ends, close the list. If you feel unsafe, get help rather than extending the slot.
Common questions
What is the worry time planner?
It adds minutes to a start time so you can see when a worry slot ends. It cannot diagnose anxiety.
Is this therapy?
No. Some people find a timed slot useful. It is not a substitute for a GP, talking therapy or crisis care.
What if I feel worse?
Stop and get proper help. NHS 111, your GP or a crisis line if you are in immediate danger.
