• Stress Management

    What are ways you cope with stress, disease-related or otherwise? Personally, I make an effort to do some form of exercise daily to lower my stress level, but exercising was not always possible for me before my transplant. I found drawing and writing to be good outlets for me that did not require as much energy.

    Has anybody tried the Headspace app for meditation and stress management? Curious if others have found it helpful and if it’s worth subscribing…

    If not, are there any other apps you can recommend that you’ve found helpful?

    I use the app Stop, Breathe & Think when I am feeling pain/anxious/depressed… it has enabled me to refocus, calm – it’s free. I don’t have a budget to pay for anything. My health dept & benefits plan also have some free help/online apps to help with guided meditation. Those are free too.
