Videos, websites and apps
Sometimes you just want to take your mind off what you're going through.
Here are some things people say help them to think about something else when they are really struggling.
"TED videos make me think of the world differently, which can be really helpful when I'm struggling."
"When I'm watching it, I think: 'How did they do this? How did they get the dogs to sit still for so long? Why have so many people watched it?' Plus, I love dogs."
Weave Silk
"Sometimes I get so stressed out I cant think. Making art on Weave Silk, combined with the sounds it makes, clears my head. I've saved it on my phone in case I need it when I'm out."
Tonematrix
"I love music, but had to sell a lot of my instruments when I lost my job. I use apps online like Tonematrix instead and it helps me feel creative again."
Mental health apps
There are lots of wellbeing apps out there. Some could help you feel calmer, and help manage difficult symptoms.
But it's hard to know which ones are worth trying. So we've created the Mind app library where you can find safe, trustworthy apps.
