Who can recommend good therapy apps for mental health?

I'm interested in apps like:

• Betterhelp that lets you speak to a therapist one-on-one.
• Meditation apps like Headspace.
• Breathwrk that helps you calm down and control anxiety through breathing exercises.
• Or any other apps that have helped you mentally.

What are the best therapy apps for mental health?

Any recommendations and specific experiences would be greatly appreciated!

I just really want to try an app that I can see has really helped people, there seems to be so many out there.

*TW MENTIONS OF SELF HARM AND SUICIDE*

>!I'll be starting CBT soon to help with some stuff, I.e. self harm, suicidal thoughts, meltdowns, etc. !<What should I expect in the first few sessions as a teen?

Just asking to know if I can share here my CBT worksheets (which I created for clients), or if you guys have more than enough of them already.

Could use some advice.

So long story short, when I was younger I did some things that cause me a great deal of guilt and shame. It got to the point where I started therapy and my therapist figured out I have a form of OCD.

Logically, I know I should forgive myself as I have learnt from my past. It was a long time ago, and I would never act this way again.

At first, I was incredibly anxious all the time due to how much I hated myself. I started sertraline/zoloft, but it just made me suicidal. My therapist moved me onto duloxetine/cymbalta, which more or less completely removed the anxiety. However the depression remained. I have moved up to 60mg duloxetine nearly 4 weeks ago, but this has made me even worse. I am constantly exhausted and sleep all the time. I had moved from weekly therapy to every two weeks as I was able to cope, but Im finding this functioning has become more and more difficult since increasing my dose.

I am either miserable, or completely numb and apathetic. I struggle to feel any joy or happiness. I feel like perhaps the medication has caused this, and in actual fact I need to be completely off medication and work through my problem in therapy. I feel like the constant numbness is stopping me from being able to internalise any of the self forgiveness.

Does anyone have any insight or advice? I'm really tied of always feeling like this. It's negatively effecting my partner but I feel so apathetic even that isn't spurring me into action and moving on with my life

Every time we seek reassurance - googling symptoms, going to the doctor "just to check" - we get temporary relief. But that relief is exactly what keeps the circle going. Your brain learns the only way to feel okay is external confirmation. So the threshold gets lower, not higher.

The thing that feels like help is actually feeding it.

Randomized controlled trials on CBT are pretty clear: the path out isn't finding reassurance - it's learning to sit with uncertainty without resolving it. Sounds awful. But apparently it's the only thing that works long-term.

Has anyone here experienced this click? What made it finally make sense for you ?

I have developed a core belief that I can't do/keep a job because I have always had difficulty maintaining long-term employment. Deep down I believe that I can't do it. It feels like there is some evidence for that because I have lost several jobs recently. I worry there is something fundamentally wrong with me that prevents me from keeping a position. I think I do not have the knowledge and skills and that is a major problem but low self-esteem, anxiety, and catastrophizing are also huge problems. I have a great fear that I'm going to be fired and that interferes with my work. How can I change my core belief?
