Hey everyone !

So glad to hear about this group.  I have depression and battle it daily like many others but would like a positive approach and support for coping with the day to day reality of the situation.  I live with my 20 year old son,Josh, and my husband.  My son has some disabilites  but is a great guy on the road to great things.  Right now I am reading "The light you can not see" which is excellent if anyone wants to check it out and just finished "The Hate you Give" I read all the time so would love to hear others talk about what they are in to.  Have a good weekend everyone!

I just read up on both books and I'm adding those to my list!! I think I'm more into "The Light We Cannot See" That looks like it might pull at some heart strings.

I'm looking for more and more story books to read as ive been leaning heavily into self help books and sometimes know I should have a different escape!

I'm looking into purchasing some list journals for gratitude and such! I love books so much. I'm glad you joined this group! Its really nice to have you.

Hi! Nice to meet you on this new group. I'm living with depression and wanting to cope without meds.

I mostly read fiction - for an escape.
I'm reading a Charles Dickens David Copperfield. I read an article on 100 books everyone should read and picked a few titles off there. Mostly classics. I read at bedtime but I'm usually so tired I only get through a few pages at a time. I will add the titles you've mentioned to my list for when I fancy a change.

Both of these books have won awards. "The Hate U Give" is also what I like to call a heart and soul book but it can be a tough read since it's about life in a ghetto. But I never felt like it got too heavy or in any way hopeless. If anything I would say that I admired the courage of the main character for what she had to go through. If you read either one of these let me know what you think. Thanks!

Welcome to the group, Heidi, and thanks for the book recommendations! I think I might enjoy "All the Light We Cannot See," because I'm interested in that time period in history.

Like you, I love to read, and I often have more than one book I'm working on at the time. Most recently, I finished "The Forgotten Ones" by Steena Holmes and "The Promise Between Us" by Barbara Claypole White. Both are excellent, in my opinion, and the latter is one of the best fiction books I've read about a main character with obsessive-compulsive disorder. I've just started reading "The Gray House," by Mariam Petrosyan, which may take a bit, since it's 700+ pages. : ) If you're interested in something non-fiction, I recently read "A River in Darkness" by Masaji Ishikawa and highly recommend it.

Hope you have a great weekend too!

Thanks Ladybug and Roxie Cat. Reading non fiction is a bit more challenging for me than fiction. But I would like to get into it. Ladybug I will check out some of these books you are suggesting. Two more authors I really like are Jodi Picount and Catherine Ryan Hyde. I have read many many books by both of these women.
