Anyone else feel like books help with high anxiety and depression?
Honestly, I feel like it depends on the person and the book. I don’t read psych thrillers b/c they make me anxious 🙂
Fantasy and sci-fi make my anxiety worse. But if I want to help it, I’ll read nonfiction.
Yes I love beachy dramatic novels
Do you have specific authors you like?
Jodi piccoult Diane Chamberlain some Stephen king but sometimes he bores me. I love Gillian Flynn too
Yes!!! I grab a cup of tea, my book and put my Essential Oils in my diffuser and it’s like my stress just disappears!!!! I feel so calm and peaceful!!!
I love this idea.
I want a diffuser! Right now I’m reading outlander and it’s got me like bored and interested at the same time
I’ll PM you!!!
I love my diffusers. The ones I got off of Amazon did fine for a while. But the ones I got from the company I go through are amazing.
I am gonna order one when I have the money. I heard lavender is really nice to sniff lol
Yes I love them! I go through youngliving and I use lavender a lot
I’ll buy one from u when I’m ready darling! Thank you!
YL is amazing.
Their diffuser that I have now is the best, I’ve been using it for a year now, because I keep it so clean I haven’t had problems with it yet. I didnt much care for the one that came when I joined, but the one I have now, I will never use a different one. I even have a couple extras for just in case. Probably give them as Christmas gifts. My favorite blend for night time(reading and winding down) is Roman chamomile, Angelica and cedarwood. Other nights I do peace & calming with Angelica. ❤❤❤
I have a diffuser. I love the lavender I have too. It is lavender sweetgrass. I am also taking a meditation class tomorrow. I can’t wait.
Absolutely. Until I finish a really good one and get depressed that it’s over. 🙂
That just happened to me
Like I couldn’t believe I had to go back to real life
Yes! The book hangover.
It does. It takes your mind off of the situation and makes you think of something else. Plus I feel like it helps me with my add and forces me to pay attention and really pay attention to things in my daily life.
Yes i like that kind kind of book
Nothing better then a good book
Definitely. I get lost in my books. I read a lot.
Oh yeah. Absolutely. Stress too.
As a Therapist lots of my clients identify reading as calming. I try to help find good fits to help w what they are going through.
Indeed!
