Code: GET There are endless reasons why we experience loneliness, and each is as valid as the last. If you feel lonely, it can help to talk to someone you trust. Sometimes the answer is closer than you think, thanks to the breadth of new mental health apps. Away from the pressures of social media, apps can put us in touch with people who are going through a similar situation. Everyone needs a safe space where they can share how they feel.
The app instantly connects you with people who are supportive, ready to listen and there to give advice. Huggle now known as Badoo was created for people seeking friendship away from dating apps. A fairly new app, it works by matching you with others based on your frequently visited locations. For instance, your favourite coffee shop or museum. Badoo is loved by people who have moved somewhere new.
Vina is a female-only app for finding new friends and groups. It functions a little like Tinder in that you can swipe and arrange to meet with people, but the objective is new adventures and experiences. A personal trainer for your mind, Youper uses AI to help you understand your emotions.
You can track your moods and keep a feelings diary to help you make arrangements or mentally prepare yourself if you feel a lull coming on. You can tell Youper anything, and the app will talk back to you. Not everyone who feels lonely has a voice. Predictable was invented to help people who have lost the ability to speak through illness or an impairment.
You can use it to express yourself, thanks to an AI keyboard and speaker that auto completes sentences and has options for clapping and laughter. Happify is built around cognitive behavioural therapy games and activities to boost your mood and wellbeing.
