hello everyone ! I hope you’re all doing well today. as you may (or may not) know, I suffer from severe social anxiety and school is coming up which is terrifying to me. if you, too, have anxiety / any other disorder or just simply want a distraction than this is a great masterpost for you.
I have gathered a few little games and apps on my phone for when I’m anxious -- these are for the iphone so I’m not 100% sure if they’ll be accessible for other kinds of phones. *feel free to add more games / helpful apps !
HAPPIFY-- you can choose 1 free track ( coping better with stress, conquering negative thoughts, building self confidence + much more ) and focus on that - you can track your progress and see how your skills compare
RECOLOR -- an awesome colouring app with a lot of different options ( some a free, some you need to pay for but overall has a good selection of free colouring ‘pages’ )
I LOVE HUE-- basically just a little game to organize colours in the right order. NOTE: it may hurt your eyes if they are sensitive to a lot of colours at once
THISISSAND-- play with sand!! make cool designs
ZEN SAND-- a relaxing little game, guide sand into the vases
NEKO ATSUME-- collect adorable kitties + a really cute art style
ALWAYS THERE-- ‘kids help phone’ in app-form. you can talk one-on-one with a counselor. NOTE: waiting can take a long time
7 CUPS-- much like ‘always there’ but has more to do. you can pick what your problem is at the time. you can work on that problem OR do some of the other stuff like watching cute videos or doing breathing / relaxing exercises
MOODS-- basically just helps to track your moods ( choose between good, okay and bad + you can add a note if you want to )
HEADSPACE-- a meditation app ( over the course of 10 days )
