Book recommendations that have helped with your anxiety/mental health

[Rainbowwww]

Despite being on 2 medications, I am still very anxious. I've had it for years and a very stressful job doesn't help 😢 Any recommendations of books or other things that help would be great. I'm currently on Vortioxetine but don't feel it helps anxiety very much. Thank you x

hi and so sorry you are feeling like this. I haven’t found anything that helped but will be good to listen to suggestions. I find my favourite tv shows or books help to provide some relief. Familiar & comforting.

Not a book but try this Ted Talk;

My anxiety drives me aarrrggghh

logically I know if I now turn the calendar over to August and some bad shit happens to my eldest who lives away from home it will have nothing to do with me turning the calendar over - BUT I cannot turn that calendar over until September 1st just in case something shit does happen to him tonight!

the happiness trap

Both really helpful reads. I wish you well OP.

Thank you so much for your suggestions, I will definitely look into the books. The TED was really eye opening too!
Madonna sorry to hear you're also having a hard time :( Do you get any help at all?
