100 Days of Cake | Shari Goldhagen
post image

1. I‘m tired. I didn‘t get enough sleep last night and I found another leak in my shower last night. Water is leaking through the shower floor and it created a hole in the grout. My mom thinks it has something to do with the shower drain when the contractors built the shower.

2. Tagged! The teen girl in this book has depression so her mom makes her a cake for 100 days to make her feel better. I liked this book.

#MentalHealthMonday

1. Tired & a bit overwhelmed work-wise. Having a little extra time off was helpful in some ways but put me behind in others.

2. I‘m excited to read this mental health fiction book with #RiseUpReads next month. Including the post from @Catsandbooks in case anyone wants to join in.

1. Right now my pain level is about a four. It would be lower, but I stood in the kitchen for 20 minutes doing chores.
2. Loved how the author slowly revealed all the emotions of the characters.

1. I take an exercise class on Mondays. I‘m feeling a tiny bit sore, but I had a good chat afterwards with a couple who are taking the class together.
2. Bookriot has the tagged book on a list of must-read books about mental illness. It features a young woman who bounces around the foster system when her mother (played by Michelle Pfeiffer in the movie) goes to prison. Movie & book are both intense.
#mentalhealthmonday

Kerrbearlib That‘s cool that you‘re taking an exercise class. I will have to check this book out. Stacked! Thanks for sharing! 5d
DebinHawaii Yay to a good class! 🎉 I read this book ages ago & saw the movie too—you are right, both are quite intense! 5d

Bet on It | Jodie Slaughter

#MentalHealthMonday check in

1. Feeling a little out of sorts. The spring time change always throws me off balance. I'll be glad when my body adjusts.
2. Bet on It by Jodie Slaughter has characters with generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) and complex PTSD (CPTSD). I have both conditions and I think Slaughter does a great job depicting what it's like.

Kerrbearlib @CatLass007 @CBee @DebinHawaii just realized I forgot to tag you all. Oops! Sorry about that! (edited) 5d
CatLass007 That‘s right. It‘s Monday! Does that tell you anything about how I‘m doing? Just out of sorts because of lack of sleep. Not the time change, but I got very little sleep last night. I know I‘ve read fiction in which mental health is treated with a healthy dose of respect, but I couldn‘t remember what. I still can‘t, not really. I did a Maven search on Audible and one of my favorite books from a few years back topped the list. 5d
DebinHawaii It took me a while to get to it today—first full day at work in a week & full of meetings. 😬 Hope you get some rest! Stacking your book rec—it sounds good! 5d

DebinHawaii @CatLass007 I loved Eleanor so much—great pick! 5d
CatLass007 @DebinHawaii @CBee @Kerrbearlib I actually found out about Eleanor from Litsy. I don‘t think it was for a buddy read, I think somebody, a lot of somebodies, had given it a good review. 5d
CBee I loved Eleanor as well! The only books I can think of that deal with mental health and depict it respectfully are a bit dark 🤦‍♀️ 5d

1. Just okay, still stuffy & wheezy so not as much sleep as I wanted to get but I have the next few days (mostly) off which makes me happy.

2. “You, yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection.” — Buddha
I find it is very easy to forget this sometimes.🪷🍵 I actively try to be kind & loving to myself🩶

AmyG Hope you are feeling better soon. 2w

1. I haven‘t recently lost a friend or family member, but my response to what‘s happening in this country now is a kind of grief. Which is a complicated set of emotions…
2. Last year I attended a grief seminar. I wasn‘t experiencing traditional grief at that time either, but I was “mourning” the loss of what I had thought was a close friendship. During the seminar I received a valuable insight:

YOUR FEELINGS ARE YOUR FEELINGS
#mentalhealthmonday

kspenmoll I understand your feelings about our country right now.💗 2w
Kerrbearlib I love that insight & am going to keep it in mind anytime I start judging myself for having intense feelings. Thank you for sharing! I‘m also feeling grief for what‘s happening in this country. 2w
Kerrbearlib Have you read Grief Is A Mess by Jackie Schuld? Highly recommend! 2w
Susanita @Kerrbearlib I will check it out. Thanks! 2w
