Mental Health
It all started when...
Mental health affects everybody. We all have times when we feel down or stressed or even anxious, and most of the time those feelings pass; but it is when they linger that it can have a detrimental affect on our health and impact our life negatively.
There are many different types of mental health disorders
- Anxiety
- Panic Attacks
- OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder)
- Eating Disorders
- Depression
Over the years and more so recently, I have delved into self help app’s to manage my thoughts and feelings, as well as keep me calm in those unnerving situations (we have them!).

3. Youper - Anxiety & Depression
Youper is a new way to take care of your mental health. Created by doctors and therapists, it uses Artificial Intelligence to understand your needs and provide you with everything you need to feel your best. It incorporates strategies from Mindfulness, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and other science-backed approaches.
Youper does not provide diagnosis or treatment. It is not a replacement for professional help, but it can support you to take care of your emotional health and works alongside therapy or other treatments if you are seeing a doctor or therapist.
4. Microsoft To Do: List, Task & Reminder
To Do is for sure my favorite and most used app! I am one of those people that make lists, to make more lists. I can only fully function with a list, so this app is a game changer, for you can share your lists with others!
Microsoft To Do is a task management app to help you stay organized and manage your day-to-day life. You can use Microsoft To Do to make shopping lists or task lists, take notes, record collections, plan an event, or set reminders to increase your productivity and focus on what matters to you. Microsoft To Do makes it easy to stay organized and manage your life. I tend to have a daily list, a weekly list and then sub lists for the odd thing I aim to do etc. To Do really aids your motivation, for that satisfaction of ticking off your To Do list, is bliss!
