Overcoming Anxiety: A Self-Help Guide Using Cognitive Behavioral Techniques | Helen Kennerley

My anxiety has been a real gem this week 😒, so interestingly enough, my next #bookishmonopoly roll took me to my ‘anxiety‘ prompt. I‘ve now started flipping this magazine that I‘ve had forever. 🙃

I have a confession to make:

I haven't been very productive.

Heck, over the last few days, I've struggled with wanting to pick up a book, let alone read. Focus eludes me.

I brought a ginormous #libraryhaul stack home pre-lockdown and have only read 1 graphic novel out of the pile. Bought 3 books from my favorite indie... titles I am excited about!... and my mind continues to wander.

Continued in comments ⬇️

Librariana I'm glad author and artist Adam J. Kurtz (credited ⬆️) has given us permission to need a minute... has essentially said "Hey! It's OK! You're totally allowed!"... but I still feel guilty.

I'm hoping that this weekend I can concentrate a little better... maybe even participate in #24B4Monday with some degree of success... even if it's just for a few hours, y'know?

I'm gonna be kind to myself... and try to find my way back to the solace of books. 5y

Texreader Yes I think that‘s good advice now. Hope you have a good weekend. 5y

TrishB It is absolutely ok 💜 5y

Librariana @Texreader and @TrishB, thank you both for your comforting words 💖 Hope y'all have a lovely Saturday! 5y

Andrew65 @Librariana We‘ve all been here recently. Audiobooks have allowed me to stat getting focused again. 5y

I am back. I have been in a hole for 3 or 4 months. Okay, so I am STILL in a hole, but I think I might be able to read and be social again. In moderation, of course.

Lauram Good to see you. 😊 (edited) 5y

wanderinglynn Welcome back! 👋🏻 I hope you‘re able to climb further out of the hole soon. 💚 5y
