Feeling a bit down after reducing my antidepressant dose. Maybe I need to bump it back up a little. Managing my brain is a full time job 😣

Just had one of those moments where the dataset I've been given is not what they told me it was.
I said "Fuck it I'm going home.". Only to realize I was already home.
So, now I'm going for a walk.

This was fascinating — I think it came via @… . Everything I know about sociopathy is pop psych/culture, so this interview was just utterly fresh to me.

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?

My up and down #mentalhealth impacts upon how productive I am, and the cour…
