Hello Gloria,
Welcome to the Beyond Blue Forums, where you will meet some wonderful people who are willing to give you their insight into there own mental health problems and try to guide you on the right path to your wellness.
Im really sorry your struggling so much with anxiety.
There are a few apps that people like here, I use " insight timer". a couple of others is ..calm..headspace.. smiling mind.... mindful...These are a few to get you started..
I do a guided meditation from insight timer, then I like to find an instrumental thennput my earphone in, turn it up a little, then pick and follow one instrument only right through the song..I usually fall asleep through the instrumental..
.Through the day if your having trouble with your anxiety you can also try your best to distract your thoughts away from anxiety by finding and doing something that you like and you need to concerntrate on, some ideas, internet mind challenging games.. jig saws, tv, music, I find instrumentals are best, pick a instrument and follow that instrument right through the song with earphones in..there just a few ideas.
We also have a great thread here called Sleep, there are some really good ideas that you could also try..
Please let us know how you went with the apps.
Warm and caring thoughts,
Grandy..
