Recommendations for meditation/mindfulness/hypnosis apps

I have very recently broken up with my boyfriend of 8 months. He broke up with me and it was extremely sudden and unexpected. I love him and am heartbroken. It's been 13 days since the breakup and it has caused a relapse in my anxiety. I'm not eating normally, I wake up and immediately feel anxious, I have an upset stomach and I can't function at work because I go there with no energy and think about everything when I'm there and try to not cry. I've today realised I can't keep focusing on him and what he's doing - I've been doing all the stupid things, checking his social media and overanalysing things he posts. I'm still in his Facebook profile picture. I post things and wait for him to like it - which he does. So today I have muted him on instagram and unfollowed him on Facebook because I know how much of an affect this is having on my health.

Does anyone have any recommendations for meditation/mindfulness/hypnosis apps that have really helped them with anxiety/depression? I want to get myself in a routine to better myself and become stronger from this experience.

Hi Romy

Sorry about your break up. Take each day as it comes, it’ll get better.

you should try the smiling mind app. I’ve been using it for a little while now and imo it’s really good!

chin up 🙂

Hi Romy,

Well done in taking that step to move past the relationship and focus on your health.

I second the recommendation of the Smiling Mind app. It is really good and its free.

I also like Headspace which has some free parts and some paid.

I also have a friend who likes the Wysa app, although it wasn't for me.

Kind thoughts, Jess
