pickAwesome #KidLit book about learning to face challenges with a positive approach. George and the other kids find inspiration from Joy, the school bus driver, who calls her bus "The Energy Bus" and introduces 5 steps that "will take you on a positive ride through life." Great story with awesome illustrations that I recommend for anyone looking for a positive book for kids.??#Childrensbook
Just finished my final exams for this term and got home to find my new book had arrived! Looking forward to relaxing over the holidays and learning some techniques to manage my social anxiety 🙂

*Trigger Warning*
A lot of people I've been asking me why I was sent to the hospital and when I first got out I wasn't ready to talk about it but now I think I am.
I suffer from PTSD, BPD, Bipolar II and Panic Disorder. Long story short, I was going through a medication change and it sent me spiraling out of control. I had a complete mental breakdown. I started self-harming again and I was about to do something really stupid...⬇️⬇️⬇️
pickThis book is amazing! This book is written in a such a way as to help give family members of persons diagnosed with BPD (Borderline Personality Disorder). However, as a person with BPD I found it most helpful. It's as if I was able to step outside of myself and look at me and my actions and thoughts from an outsider's point of view. It was monumentally helpful in helping me understand more about myself and why I do things that I do. Great book!
#hpchapteraday There is a lot of #overcoming in this chapter-Dumbledore overcoming Voldemort's enchantments, Harry overcoming his fear & doubt to follow Dumbledore's orders, Dumbledore overcoming the effects of the potion to save Harry...what stands out to me is that most of this overcoming is quiet, internal, & not obvious. This important to remember when we feel tempted to judge others-we never know what another is overcoming...
I am sure it's these words that inspired this cover image for #booksix from Jonny Duddle. So much action and movement. A terrible scene, with Harry learning much about power and how to wield it. So much to overcome.
