Most of us never get to know what it feels like.

                      Happy 35th birthday Adam Driver!!

This is General Hux of the First Order. The Republic is no more. Your fleet are rebel scum and war criminals. Tell your precious princess there will be no terms, there will be no surrender.

I am always interested in good mental health apps. The thing is, I could never really find ones that tickled my fancy beyond Calm Harm.

But alas!! I found one by accident that has done a better job guiding me than 6 months of therapy. (Note: this is not to say that you shouldn’t go to therapy, or that this app is a therapy replacement. My therapy experience just wasn’t extremely helpful, and this shining star filled in the gaps. But go to therapy and take your meds, folks.)

What’s Up?

What’s Up? Can guide your thinking, help ground you, and provide you with comprehensive information on anxiety, anger, stress, depression, and self esteem. You can also track your good and bad habits as well as your mood from day to day.

The information section tells you what common symptoms of each illness is, what your thinking probably looks like, and dozens upon dozens of easy to comprehend ways to guide your thinking to a better path (I’m using these as prompts for a mental health journal I’ve started) Here’s a single screenshot from the self esteem portion of guided thoughts; the list is much longer than this:

I absolutely adore the grounding game. REALLY hopeful when, like me, you can’t remember the grounding steps.

All in all, a superb app that has been so very beneficial for me. There’s many other features that I recommend you try to navigate when you’re doing ok, so you know right where to go when things go south.
