Who is in for the Bell Jar? Drop a comment below! Note that we start in the 9th, and remember that my hashtags are often ridiculous and always chapter spoilers, so don‘t read the post each day until you‘ve read the chapter! Chapter a day! #hashtagbrigade
Amanda, I have two tag lists. One at the beginning of each new month, and one for each individual book, opt ins only.

BarkingMadRead Thank you for sharing! 1d

I read this one in a day, because once I started I just couldn‘t stop. It was so heartbreaking. My second book from @DebinHawaii #auldlangspine list. And another winner. @monalyisha

DebinHawaii Glad you liked it! This is the #AuldLangSpine “regifting” as I discovered it from @Itchyfeetreader ‘s list last year! 🤗 2d

1. I'm a bit sleepy. Cats woke me up early. I may nap later! 😆
2. I read this book the summer of 2016. I hadn't dealt with depression in years, but that changed after the November election. I'm glad I read it when I did. It reminded me it's OK to be not OK. I wrote Jenny & shared how much her book meant to me. She wrote back to thank me & said she really needed to hear it that day.

#MentalHealthMonday

TiredLibrarian I liked this one; it gives a lot of practical ideas for dealing with anxiety. 2d
dabbe 1. I'm doing better than LAST Monday! #oy!
2. Tagged. It made me embrace the introvert that I am.

CatLass007 1) I‘m doing okay today so far. Follow-up appointment with my PCP this afternoon. The foam for my psoriasis is not generic so I can‘t afford the copay. I will ask him to prescribe something else. And the topical cream he prescribed for my arthritis isn‘t helping so I‘m going to need a referral to pain management. But neither of those is a big deal. 2) I can‘t remember if I‘ve ever read any mental health care books. I know I have some (cont)⬇️ 2d

CatLass007 on my list and I probably have some in my audio and physical libraries, but I‘m not sure if I‘ve ever actually read any of them. 🤷‍♀️ I guess I should check on that. I want to emphasize that I do things that are good for my mental health. I read/listen to books. I crochet and sometimes embroider or cross stitch. And I have four wonderful kitties who are, without any hyperbole, literal lifesavers.🐾🐾🐾 (edited) 2d
CatLass007 @dabbe You aren‘t an introvert on Litsy! You are extremely active and always encouraging.❤️❤️❤️ I know that virtual interaction and in person interaction are not the same. I just wanted you to know how much I appreciate you. And I‘m sure I‘m not alone in that. So wherever you are, you do you and go on being awesome!🤩 2d
CatLass007 @Kerrbear I want to let you know that #MentalHealthMonday is an amazing idea and I appreciate you creating this group and including me. I‘ve yet to meet a Litten who isn‘t wonderful. 2d
dabbe @CatLass007 Well, you just made my day, week, month ... Thank you! It's amazing that I was a public school teacher my whole life, too. I've been told how outgoing I am, but most people don't know how much it takes out of me. Litsy allows me to be that gal but with the benefits of cocooning in my home. You also bring great joy to Litsy, m'dear! 🩵🩶🩵 2d
CatLass007 Okay, Michelle Obama‘s Becoming wasn‘t specifically written to help others‘ mental health, but I learned a lot from her. And I started listening to The Light We Carry, and I need to start over because it‘s been a while. So here‘s my input. 2d
Kerrbearlib @TiredLibrarian thanks for sharing! Stacked! 2d
Kerrbearlib @CatLass007 thank you! I am so glad started this group. You do some great stuff for mental health! Cats are absolutely life savers! (edited) 2d
Kerrbearlib @CatLass007 I still haven't read Becoming, I should do something about that - I've only heard good things! 2d
Kerrbearlib @dabbe fellow introvert here! I love that book so much! Thanks for sharing the title with us! 2d
CatLass007 She had a podcast when the book was first released and it‘s excellent. She also had a podcast when The Light We Carry was released. Since I‘m restarting the book I also am going to restart the podcast. I have listened to the book and podcast far enough to be able to recommend both. 2d
dabbe @Kerrbearlib 🩵🖤🩵 2d
CBee @dabbe gah, last Monday was AWFUL. 2d
CBee These two helped me with grief: 2d
CBee The Hope book is also great for self esteem, confidence, and the illustrations are lovely! 2d
Kerrbearlib @CBee thanks for sharing the title! Stacked! 2d
Kerrbearlib @CBee I think I may have read the Hope book years ago. I will have to read it/reread it! 2d
Kerrbearlib @cbee you might like this book. It's for kids but great for adults too. The illustrations are awesome! 2d
CBee @Kerrbearlib ♥️♥️ 2d

This is my second timwle to read this book (and definitely not the last). It's this amezes me how Slyvia Plath wrote the Bible of tortured girls. I never can put a finger on when Esther goes mad.

Insomnia worked in my favor last night and finished this interesting, chapter-less book. 📖
