My MH Buddy App vs Sober Help Now

My MH Buddy App is mainly for people with mental health problems/autism (whether diagnosed or otherwise). Its main function is to help you and/or anyone involved in your care (including supportive family or friends) to monitor your mental health. You can choose out of a comprehensive list of options, the things you would like to track (such as mood, eating, alcohol/drugs, OCD, unusual experiences such as hearing voices, etc.). After a while you will have built up enough data for the graphs and charts on the home screen and the trend data to be useful to see how you are progressing. There are also other features such as communication cards for when you are struggling to speak, a hospital passport screen, urge timers, sober timers, lists of distractions and gratitudes, etc. I really hope this app helps someone. I have written it while detained in hospital and it has helped me a lot to create it!

Sober Help Now is a simple, in-the-moment support tool for people who want help resisting a drinking urge. This is not a tracker app. There are no streaks, charts, or pressure-filled progress screens. The goal is simpler: open the app when you need help, tap the button that matches what is happening, and get clear, specific actions you can take right now. Use Sober Help Now when: • You want a drink • The urge feels urgent • You feel restless • The urge is getting stronger • You are about to drink • People are drinking around you • You are alone and thinking about drinking • You are starting to justify drinking • You drank and need to reset The app includes practical tools like a 10-minute urge timer, breathing prompts, action checklists, social scripts, thought interrupters, an escalation ladder, and short distraction passages. Sober Help Now is designed to reduce friction in vulnerable moments. It gives you something concrete to do before the urge turns into action. Important: Sober Help Now is for informational and supportive use only. It is not medical advice, therapy, diagnosis, treatment, or emergency care. If you may be experiencing alcohol withdrawal, severe distress, thoughts of self-harm, or immediate danger, contact a medical professional, emergency services, or a crisis hotline right away.
