Technology has come a long way, and for those living during these times, we have all noticed that stress has become increasingly more problematic nowadays than it ever was before. The following are some helpful ways in how technology can be used to help with this a little.
This is in the form of apps that many can use since most people now have an iPhone or Android-based smartphone. I just want to remind you that these apps are no substitute for professional help. You can however give them a try.
1- Stop Negativity Feeling
