Crying and punching things only helped for a little while. Then it was time to tackle my problems by learning how to deal with them.
Crying and punching things only helped for a little while. Then it was time to tackle my problems by learning how to deal with them.
I was slowly giving up. Ready to do something really stupid. By reading and getting advice I realised there are things I can do to overcome my problems.
I would cry myself to sleep knowing the next day would be the same drama. A few strategies helped me get better. Don't give up.
I barely smiled at school. I couldn't talk to my friends cause they didn't understand. But I realised there ARE people out there to support me.
The app was highly customisable and interesting with the interactiveness in place for the users and still having a calming contrast on the layout which did make me feel calmer with such colour schemes. I really liked the modern design of the app and the tracking that comes along with it.

The struggle I have to face every day is there but I know I'm not alone. There's support and advice always out there.
When my problems didn't go away I got down on myself. I thought being skinny would make people like me. I realised I need to accept myself first.
I stopped eating and restricted everything. I was diagnosed with anorexia nervosa. Getting help to recover is really important so don't keep it to yourself.
If I had a chance to talk to someone earlier I would have. Because all you need is for someone to listen.
Highly certified app with very entertaining components relatable across multiple types of populations such as students and children. Although it is high quality with information and interactiveness, I would not necessarily pay for the app and in some cases I feel if students or children were to use the app without their parent's knowing for personal uses it may be difficult for them to want to pay for some of the most beneficial features which are not for free.
This Headspace app makes meditation simple! This app uses the principles of mindfulness meditation to help improve focus, mood and sleep while working to reduce anxiety and stress. The free version allows users to 10-session trial before needing to subscribe to have access to a wider variety of sessions and programs. The downfall is that the subscription can be expensive.
