Helpful apps for anxiety and depression?

Does anyone know any good apps that could help someone with a mix of anxiety and depression?



I've tried a few, but most of them just make me log my mood and give some basic tips. Haven't found anything that helpful yet.



Seems like there's hundreds of these things, wondered if anyone knew any good ones to try.



I know there are some good books but I find it hard to work my way through them so want to try some apps :/

I know you said you wanted some apps but there was something to help me very very much is a couple books by Dr. Claire weeks they are small books don’t take much to read and it’s hope and help for your nerves and there’s one called peace from nervous suffering I was in such bad shape I didn’t leave the house for six months I still refer back to them when it flares up. I have a lot of trouble worrying about different feelings I get because of my anxiety now it’s my heart racing it’s always something that’s scaring me and putting me into a deep depression. i’ve lost a husband a baby a daughter three nieces and a nephew I’ve had cancer I’m now facing it may be again, so we can use all the help we can get. I hope you can find these books maybe on Amazon or something I got them along time ago 20 years ago and I still keep them next to me will be praying for you sending you love and hugs❤️

I very strongly recommend a podcast called Anxiety Coaches Podcast with Gina Ryan. Each episode is about 20 minutes and I have found her to be extremely helpful and insightful. Mainly discussing anxiety and less depression but I think you will enjoy it.

I am not sure whether you are religious or not but there is this meditation app Abide really helps me through my sleepless nights it comes with bible verses that helps me calm down the voices they use are very soothing. I love connecting with God when I am feeling hopeless. There are also Anxiety games that I like to play to help me distract myself you can find them on the App Store see which one you like best.
