My mom loves to play pocket frogs. If you have never heard of pocket frogs, it’s an application (app) that you can download on your iPhone or iPad (it may be available on Androids, I don’t know). It is a cute and entertaining little game in which the player simply breeds pretty little frogs. You can also race frogs, but mom doesn’t do that much and neither do I when I play. The object of the game is to complete the froggydex, which is the entire collection of frogs; which is over 19,500 frogs. So far my mom has bred over 2,000 frogs; I have only bred a measly 220.
Mom says that pocket frogs got her through breast cancer, particularly chemotherapy. For me, pocket frogs helps calm my mind when delusions or hallucinations are bad. It’s one of many ways to refocus scattered thoughts. A friend of mine gave me a word search book when I was in the hospital. Word searches have the same effect; they help calm my mind. Journaling can sometimes help, but generally I need a less stressful task, something to take my mind off the situation rather than focusing on it like journaling typically does.
For those of you with active psychosis, I strongly urge you to find a calming task that you can do when experiencing delusions or hallucinations. Find a game to play like pocket frogs, do word searches, or crossword puzzles, something to focus your mind. It helps me in times of distress and I hope it helps you too.

Love my frogs. Glad you posted about this free app. It is very calming.
Just popped over from your Mum’s blog. I am so pleased that something like this can be so effective and helps both of you. sounds like you have a lot of frog breeding to do LOL. Take care and keep playing with your frogs. Diane
thanks for share!
I wanted to draft you a tiny word just to give thanks once again with the pleasant strategies you’ve contributed here. It was certainly unbelievably generous with you to give unreservedly what a number of people would have made available as an ebook in making some cash for their own end, primarily now that you could have tried it if you ever desired. These advice in addition worked like the good way to be aware that other people have similar dream similar to my own to learn a lot more with regards to this problem. I am certain there are thousands of more pleasurable situations up front for folks who find out your blog post.
