Sorry for the silence, fellow Littens; I haven't been feeling right for a while so at the urging of the BBE, finally went to see my doctor. It turns out I display many of the classic symptoms of depression, & have been put on medication for the time being. I'm glad the BBE intervened before things got worse but wish I'd clued in earlier. I still don't feel like doing much, even reading (😳) but hey, baby steps. Don't ever be afraid to seek help!
Jess7 My late aunt struggled with depression all of her life. Some books she enjoyed reading about #mentalhealth and that I found thoroughly entertaining were written by the late, great Carrie Fisher who worked tirelessly to shed the stigma surrounding mental health issues. It might lift your spirits a little - Maybe try reading: Wishful Drinking or![[tagged book]](https://image.librarything.com/pics/litsy_webpics/icon_taggedBook@3x.png)

mrsmarch It's hard to put yourself first but you gotta do it! 🔮💚 8y
Tanner @Jess7 I think I shocked a couple of people at work when I freely told them I was on meds - "That's just not something people talk about." It should be! Thanks for the recs; I'm going to do some library-book downloading today. 8y
Tanner @Notafraidofwords Thanks - I intend to! 8y
Tanner @Hoopiefoot Me too - I actually feel better for having gone and have her taking me seriously. 8y
Tanner @mrsmarch It's true - I would always tell that to the BBE, but I forgot to practice what I preach. 8y
Smangela Beautiful picture! Thinking of you! Baby steps are key :) 8y
Tanner @Smangela Thanks! Yup, don't want to overwhelm myself again. 8y
