Why I created Bemy
Hi! My name is Nashelle, I am the founder of Bemy. I am really passionate about this product and I want to share why. In October 2023 I was put on a mood stabilizer by my doctor, it was a joint decision that I made with her and it was a really big step for me. I have always been an advocate for bettering one's mental health but when the time came to consider adding medication to my life, I was scared. I was nervous about it for so many reasons and I had so many questions. What if it doesn't even work? What if I have a bad reaction and I feel worse? What if it causes a completely different problem that I don't already have! I know, a bit anxious lol. Long story short, It didn't cause me any problems and it did what it was supposed to do. I have struggled with these ups and downs since high school and I felt so empowered by the steps I had taken to take back control of this aspect of my life.
Now, to the product. My mail came in, my meds were here and along with it was a bright blue pill cutter. At first, I didn't think anything of it, but after a couple weeks I realized this blue cutter was something I was looking at everyday and I couldn't stand it. It was so....medical. It lacked character and personalization; instead of being in control, I felt as if I was at the mercy of this small blue box. I went to search for something cute, and couldn't find ANYTHING. So I decided to make my own.
But I didn't want to gate keep. What if other people felt this way? I really believe every single person trying to better their mental and physical health deserves to not only feel good about it, but also feel encouraged. The impact of those pills inside your pill cutters are not small and they deserve the kind of packaging that matches their signifigance. I want to be apart of the impact that these pill cutters could possibly make in someone's life.
