Welcome to Litsy!

Another “I‘m reading on the porch but will probably fail to concentrate” kind of day.

Finished this one off last night before bed. I‘m thankful that my anxiety is not nearly at this level, but I know for many people, it is. Whether or not you suffer from any level of anxiety, I feel like this memoir is worth the read. ♥️

Total time for #24B4Monday, #MrBook1inaMillion us roughly 4 hrs 25m. I‘m not bothering with the ⏱as I know I won‘t be able to read much. Spending time with my husband before he goes back underground for 2 weeks.❤️

Switching up the audiobooks again. 33 Men is just too emotional for me to fall asleep to. This is my bed time choice for tonight. I haven‘t had much chance to read for #24B4Monday so far... slightly over an hour before I crashed last night. Hoping to get in atleast 5-10 years this weekend, but honestly that‘ll even be a stretch. 🙈 Sad to be working for the next 6 weekends. #MrBook1inaMillion

#LilithJuly The term #BasketCase was a slang word used in the 80‘s. It was often used to describe someone who was out of control with worry when a given situation had no solution. A bunch of years ago our bookclub read a memoir by a writer who suffered from crippling anxiety. It was poignant and funny, insightful and a really honest look at what it means to live with a social disorder. Very readable.

Quirky and intriguing!

First book of 2018! Starting the year by reading and relaxing ❤️ #currentlyreading

“Anxiety Personified”

(Yeah. Reading a bit of this too...Trying to figure out some things...)

October TBR! Going to try really hard to get out of this never-ending book slump. Any that look especially good?

I asked my cousin to recommend any books to me dealing with anxiety because I've been having a rough time with it lately and feel like I need something to read about it to take my mind off of what's giving me anxiety. She suggested this one and a few others. My gf ordered it for me today and I'm very anxious to start reading it. Has anyone else read this?

My current situation: When you read a few sentences in a book you just got and realize you have been in denial your whole adult life AND you, yourself, are a psychotherapist. Oh my! 😳

That day when ALL THE LIBRARY REQUESTS come in at once. This is the problem with the library using multiple apps for audiobooks! I forget to track what's on hold where! Gah!

As someone who has anxiety, I really did enjoy how he describes it. And he maintains a sense of humor throughout the book. Would recommend!
