I’ve recently started reading books again.
In a book you can escape to another world and leave all your troubles behind you.
When you are depressed it can be very hard to concentrate on a book, you just can’t seem to grasp the words.
What i’ve found is that I can identify with books that are autobiographies of people who have been abused mentally, physically or sexually. It sometimes helps to know you are not alone.
Somewhere along the line the authors have felt depression, fear, lonliness, anxiety and helplesness – all the feelings of depression.
It’s because of this understanding i’ve made a “Books” page on my blog with links to the authors’ websites where possible so you can read about the books i’ve read and the stories of the authors. Most of the books are avaialble at your local library or for purchase through Amazon.com.
