Thrive (previously Help) founded by Consultant Psychiatrists and Psychologists from the UK, who have created clinically proven and evidence based apps to treat and prevent mental health conditions. I was more than happy to sign up to give the app a try. It can only help surely?
After signing up, I started on the step by step tasks that are set and you must complete these. I understand that may sound annoying to you but they are essential in helping you to Relax and be more mindful which is so important when you are feeling anxious as it helps to calm.
You can set the amount of time for each task which puts you in control. As I worked through each task I could feel myself start to relax and I wasn't in an anxious state so for me that is a massive plus!
You get lovely messages of encouragement as you go along which I think is really nice as it encourages you to continue with the exercises.
I feel this app will really help those with anxiety and other Mental Health Conditions get through a panic attack or to just help them relax before bed to help get a good nights sleep. I will certainly continue with this app. It is also a fantastic tool for those who may not be able to afford counselling, as we know that can be very expensive.
