I forgot that I had this book. It's been on my TBR for awhile. I came across a post from @SkeletonKey that brought it back to my awareness and I'm glad I'm finally reading it!

SkeletonKey Hope it helps! 6y

I really don't WANT to give up on October being the start of my favorite time of year, but JFC it never makes it easy. Time to be proactive about this shit.

kamoorephoto I have this āŗļø¸ 7y

SkeletonKey @kamoorephoto - Was it helpful? 7y

DebbieGrillo I'm going to a mindfulness group led by a M.D.. He read from and recommended this book today. 7y

SkeletonKey @DebbieGrillo - Excellent! It was recommended to me too. I go to a Buddhist sangha sometimes but wanted something more directly related to my needs. 7y

kamoorephoto I went through a major course in DBT (dialectical behavioral therapy) and mindfulness was a large part of it, and it honestly changed my life... 7y

kamoorephoto I will always struggle, I will always have major depressive disorder, anxiety and suffer from MS, but this is one thing that can help... š‘¨š¸¼ 7y

SkeletonKey @kamoorephoto - That's hopeful then! Im glad it's helping you. I'm in the same boat with depression/anxiety/trauma. Is DBT similar to CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy)? That's what I've been working with. 7y

kamoorephoto I would say it‘s considerably different; I was actually part of a research study at the University of WA at a crucial part of my life and I would highly recommend looking into it for anyone with issues with PTSD, BPD, trauma, etc. Life-changing. 7y

SkeletonKey @kamoorephoto - Oh! Thanks, I'll look it up then. š™‚ 7y

kamoorephoto This was what I had at the time...

TricksyTails This has been on my TBR forever. I borrowed it from OverDrive but didn't finish it. Reading used to be my escape but after experiencing loss a couple years ago, I can't focus enough to read anymore. It's a real struggle. I've been meaning to borrow this again. I'll be looking forward to your thoughts. I hope it helps. š¤— 7y

TricksyTails This relates to dealing with illness but it also covers mindfulness as a way of coping. It's very relatable and she gives real life experiences as examples and how to use the different practices. All of her books are similar but very helpful.

How to Wake Up: A Buddhist-Inspired Guide to Navigating Joy and Sorrow

SkeletonKey @tricksytails - I'm so sorry to hear that! Both about the loss and the reading. Reading is a big escape for me too so it's always a bad sign when it doesn't work. I'll try to share my thoughts as I go. Thanks for the recommendation too š’ 7y

TricksyTails Thank you. āŗļø¸ I truly miss the joy of getting lost in a book. I hope the book helps you. š’ 7y

alvingregorio I have this book but never finished it. I forgot I even had it! Going to start reading it again thanks to your post. 6y

Perhaps an overshare, but I'm really into learning about ways to deal with tough times holistically and naturally rather than pills that make me feel terrible. #labsoundtrack
