Booster Buddy *Mental Health app*

So, I'm not sure if this is appropriate or not so if it's not you can remove it @TheSite
But recently I've come across an app called boosterbuddy, it's available on both android and iOS. It's an app which helps those who struggle with mental illnesses.
It works by giving you quests to do each day (these are only small tasks) that you're encouraged to complete. The app will ask you a few questions at the beginning in order to cater these 'quests' to the individuals needs.
It also has an option which reminds you to take your medication, which is really helpful as I know it's really easy to forget to take them.

Not only does it help as an app but it also has a section in the settings that can signpost you to other different websites suitable for a range of mental health issues.

I've tried it out and found it to be really helpful!

    " So I say thank you for the music, the songs I'm singing, thanks for all the joy they're bringing, who can live without it, I ask in all honestly what would life be? Without a song or a dance, what are we? So I say thank you for the music, for giving it to me "

    I have been using this app daily since I've downloaded it, it has been so helpful, instead of automatically reaching to phone a helpline I have been looking at the coping strategies section of this app, and its been fantastic!

    I think this is such a good app and it's been helping me so much, I'm even going to tell my psychologist about it!
