Hi @Former-Member,

I read you are using an app to cope, i have a new one which is fantastic it is called Moodtools, it will help you cope, it has been developed by Mental Health professionals, it has a mood tracker, Information and resources, Tests to see if you need to get emergency help, a thought diary, activities to help cope and a safety plan.

I know we are not ment to advertise, sorry Moderators 🙂 but this app really helps me get through each day, it has bee nwell thought out and is quick and easy to use, i have been using it for 2 months now and highly recommend it. please Moderators check it out and see if you can be apart of the app, it will help people in distress.

Please try it @Former-Member, i do think it will help.  

My thoughts and wishes are with you my friend. we are all here to help 😄

Be safe

Hi @Jacques

Wow - Sounds like a great app, I am glad you have found it so helpful 🙂 Just wanted to jump in and say, we definitely encourage members to share with others when they find something that works well for them. That's what the Forums are all about - peer support. If you like, feel free to include your review of this app in the "What’s new: services, research, and technologies" section here. To clarify, moderators are only caution of 'advertisements' if they appear to be inappropriate or serving a commercial interest. Again, I'm so glad to hear you have found something that works for you! Good on you, @Jacques!

Thanks Jacques I downloaded it. It looks good but wish there was Australian version. If u have time maybe look at the actcompanion app too if u have time it's diff but has great stuff by looks but it not free sigh it has good activities in it I just haven't been able to concentrate on them

Hi @Former-Member, i am sorry the app was not what you expected, it does have space in the safety plan to add phone numbers of your doctor and psychologist, treating team, etc. 

I will have a look at the actcompanion app, i know the feeling, i have not been able to read my new books now for a couple of weeks, i can only read a page at a time, so hard to concentrate.

I hope tonight is treating you well, you sounded so distressed late last night. i could not help but leave a message.

Thanks Jacques I do like the app and most of all I'm glad you find it helpful. i never turn down another tool/strategy to put in the coping box. Thanks for your help I'm so appreciative of it. I need to work on doing stuff to help me help myself a bit more. I'm a bit calmer tonight maybe will get some sleep tonight even :face_with_rolling_eyes: I don't know where I'd b without the support from here

Yes @Former-Member, i have downloaded most of the apps that their are for mental health, it is just that i found this one the most comprehensive. i had a look at the actcompanion app, it looks interesting too, very similar to this one, but this one is free.

Yes, i am the same, the more the marrier i say, have you tried colorfy, it is a smart phone mandala app, colouring in for adults, it has so many patterns, i use it often too.

No problem @Former-Member, i am happy to give back what you and others have given me, yes i think sometimes we are too hard on ourselves, blame ourselves for events out of our control, we just need to remember to take a step back every now and again and reassess the situation.

I am glad you are feeling a little better tonight, maybe you could do something nice for yourself, a hot chocolate or cup of herbal tea? maybe some nice handcream? 

@Former-Member, i would not be alive without this forum, you and everyone else on here help me get through every day. 

I do hope things work out for you @Former-Member, sometime life just is not fair, we just need to make our way through life as best we can.

Be kind to yourself.

Jacques

You are so right @Jacques
I remember this year having a Doctor who gave me one wrong med and messed me around for months then ..... I messed up the dosages
I just needed to know someone was thinking about me
You are both important to me

[Former-Member]

Much love to u too @PeppiPatty

[PeppiPatty]

Honey, you remind me of a shiny star
I think you take it a day at a time
And always always here for you
Did you know your little Children will so benefit from your good parenting and this is you
