Brain in Hand follow-up post

I have recently been given the Brain in Hand app. as part of my DSA package. The app can store one's solutions to dealing with common issues, links to diaries, necessary phone calls etc, add reminders to a mobile home screen and enable contact with supporters. The big drawback for me is that I forget to look at my phone, or ignore any reminders unless they are aural. Also, the emergency support line at Brain in Hand can only talk the person through solutions to problems. I have not found any solution to my biggest problems and I have no family or support network that I can contact. Student services at college have minimal non-customised resources and multiple demands on their time. It can take weeks for them to get back to me.  Does anyone have any suggestions for what I might do to

  • I overfocus on a task and do not recognise the need to take a break (though I set a focus timer for 45 minutes on my laptop, i just repeat this ad infinitum). I become very frustrated and anxious at being unable to articulate my thoughts and organise them efficiently to complete college writing assignments. I cannot pull myself away from trying either. Brain in Hand support says they have no way of setting aural reminders.
