From Hopeless And Helpless To Healing | 
I've had an impossible time reading since the election. I've had an impossible time doing anything really. Any advice??
theshrinkette As far as reading goes: You could either lean heavily into nonfiction- race, politics, feminism, activism, etc, or go completely in the opposite direction and read fluff, comics, comfort reads. 8y
theshrinkette Sometimes cracking open a brand new book helps. 8y
alli.sos I've been channeling my energy into angrily devouring books on feminism and racial equality. 8y

OutlandishLit @TheShrinkette @alli.sos thanks, you two. When I'm home I'll make a nonfiction pile. That sounds cathartic. Will I actually open them? Only time will tell. 8y
Lindy Could your book shelves use organizing? A task like that, handling objects you love, might help you feel better. And you might even get the urge to sample some contents. Be gentle with yourself. 8y
WordWaller I've been doing the same thing as @alli.sos and it's been good. The fluff is harder to read 8y
WordWaller Also video games have been strangely more up my ally right now. Even if it's just for 30 min, I'm all about that 8y
OutlandishLit @WordWaller I've been playing like 4 hours of animal crossing a day...... Haha 8y
OutlandishLit @Lindy that's a good idea. I love rearranging shelves even though that's also my job haha 8y
