ANXIETY APPS

---

Did you know there is an App for almost everything that you may or may not need in your life these days? There are Apps for helping you find someone to cuddle with, for real! It is called Cuddlr, look it up if you need that extra snug. There is Pimple Popper which is self explanatory and just gross. There is one for you cat ladies too called Cat Paint that you can add more cats to pictures. I started to look and download as many Apps that had to do with dealing with anxiety that I could. My phone hated me from being overworked! I picked the ones that were easiest to download and understand. Most were free with a few that had " IN APP PURCHASES". There were so many that I may post again with others that I discover. If you use any of these following Apps or you know of a really good one that has helped you, please comment below. I would love to hear feedback and I am always open to new ways of healing.


PACIFICA


This APP enables the user to record their thought, you can oversee your moods, and set goals that potentially help fight against your anxiety. It aids you with learning  where in your cycle that you get frequently emotional and require that extra TLC.  The Health Tracker will help you monitor  how much water you intake, how much sleep and exercise you are getting. Keeping track of your medication is another feature.


*Free to download. In App Purchases available after downloading.


SAM (Self Help For Anxiety Management)


Featuring Social Cloud, that will help you to share your life experiences with the SAM community while keeping your identity  protected. I liked this APP as it had some of the best exercises for handling your anxiety and they are in categories separated by your particular type of anxiety. Muscle relaxation along with calming breathing exercises are extremely helpful with this APP.  You may love the recording feature where you can leave messages to yourself.  Picture Peace, will show you an image that is concealed but if you rub your finger over your cell phone screen, you'll uncover it.  Image it to be like a palm stone that some use to rub for calming. It is surprisingly helpful in many situations.


*Free to download.


CALM


The first thing that I noticed about this one, is how beautiful and uncomplicated that the site is with the beautiful pictures of amazing scenery. It has peaceful nature sounds as well. Perfect if you want to take time out of your life to just meditate or relax or just plain zone out.  The APP and website are very similar, with many meditations that are guided. Most you must purchase after the initial download of the APP but they offer many different scenarios to choose from.

MINDSHIFT APP


This APP will help you take charge of your anxiety by helping you learn to relax. It includes a system and tools to help you with a specific type of anxiety. Other key issues that are aided with this APP are:
-helping with sleep issues
-pulling through an intense emotion
-anxiety test
-help with social anxiety
-conflict
-worry
-performance anxiety issues


I really liked the portable coach part to help you get through challenging situations especially if you are travelling.

HELLO MIND APP


If you are plagued by any type of anxiety then you know that it can tie you down by constant thoughts of worry and fear. Hello Mind tries to loosen those restrictions with guided relaxation audios. The exercises are guided and focus on anxiety and fear as well as phobias. You can earn points for listening and you many journal all your thoughts and feelings in a log.


*Free to download. In App Purchases.




END ANXIETY


Adapted towards relief for stress and panic attacks, End Anxiety has been downloaded by millions of people.  The App also uses an audio hypnosis technique to guide you through exercises. It urges you to listen for one to three weeks for full desired results. You are able to loop sessions to play while you are falling asleep and sleeping. Binaural beats can play in the background to knock your brainwave frequency that much closer to hypnosis. I found it to be very relaxing after a long day to listen to.

7 CUPS- ONLINE THERAPY FOR ANXIETY


I first clicked on this one because of the name and since I was having a cup of tea, it just seemed fitting. I was pleasantly surprised at the depth and vast help that this APP offers. According to the many reviews that I read, over six million customers use this to help them with daily struggles. They connect a person in need with a trained listener. E-counselling is helping change the way that we receive health care and 7 Cups are paving the way. You must complete a question and answer session before 7 Cups pairs you with a professional therapist.  There is a three day free service then you are directed to a payment page.  This is an amazing App if you have the funds and especially helpful for those who need a therapist but are unable to travel to one. Very user friendly and extremely simple to follow. The "chat room" that only you and your therapist share is as easy to use as Messenger or texting on your phone. The help network offers coverage in many areas that may ail you  including:
-addictions
-anxiety
-bipolar
-depression
-grief
-stress
-trauma and abuse


7 Cups is definitely the most unique App that I reviewed so far. 


*Free to download. In App Purchases.




Overall, I found all of the Apps helpful and easy to use. In the world of social media and everyone living busy lives, having an App to help you survive is what the future holds.
