What I really need to do is get back up to my full antidepressant dose to lift me out of the depression, and find better coping strategies for the irritability / rage episodes that come with the increased dose.

I’ve got this great therapist who is really pushing me to see through C’s bullshit. I’m seeing Cs actions and behaviour much more clearly now that I have that second perspective. I called out Cs inaction on seeking appropriate #mentalhealth support yesterday and she responded by shouting at me and going off to sulk. In the past that sort of response would have cowed me, but not anymore. S…

When You Stop Doing, Life Speaks
You're always doing. What if the key to clarity and connection isn't striving, but the courage to do nothing? Stillness is where your natural intelligence finally speaks.

Things That Are Hard
Support groups are a curious thing.

Hello world!
At last I got a job! I am so grateful at last I can work again!
With my mental health issues, thanks God, I can still land a job!
I am not unemployed again! I am so happy!

when it comes to #psychology and #mentalhealth I've read a decent number of #books on the topic.
I think the best I've read are:
- David D. Burns' Feeling Good (CBT generally including anxiety, depression)
- Sue Johnson's Hold Me Tight (romantic/marital relationships)
- Peter Kramer's Against Depression (on why depression is not a creative gift or sign of moral incompetence, biological underpinnings)
Peter Rutter's Sex in the Forbidden Zone has also been instrumental in forming my understanding of the unhealthy ways romantic interest manifests.
Anne Wilson Schaef's Co-Dependence: Misunderstood--Mistreated is the best I've read explaining how "being good" can oftentimes actually be bad.
The latter two are both more things I extract from the books rather than the books themselves and both are couched in ways that make them not ideally suited to the topic...but still the best I've found.
In addition one might include Joel Fuhrman's Eat for Life (I'm reading it now, I originally read Eat to Live) for nutritional health (which affects psychological) and David Allen's Getting Things Done (still one of the most influential books I've read on productivity).
My #question is, are there books you've read that you'd considered "must reads" on psychological / mental health? Not just mental illness, but mental health?

How to Be Accountable to Yourself and Why It Matters
What if the promises you make to yourself mattered just as much as the ones you make to others? Self-accountability starts with knowing your line and following through.

I’ve managed 16 workouts in the last 21 days which I’m pretty proud of. Already feeling the #mentalhealth benefits and starting to feel stronger, lighter and tighter too.

Medicaid cuts are likely to worsen mental health care in rural America
Across the nation, Medicaid is the single largest payer for mental health care, and in rural America, residents disproportionately rely on the public insurance program.
