Refusing to get out of bed today! My furlough on life....

Me too, with about fifty others

Only 50?

I appreciate that Claire Weekes is the Authority on anxiety etc but I've never actually managed to read any of her books..probably because I don't want to !! Nor do I read books on ASD, OCD or EDs. I just can't..I'm surrounded by angst and need some escapism when I read..Does that make me irresponsible? I think my brain just shuts down and doesn't want any more information to digest..

I’m actually the same way, Pulisa. I primarily read stories that take me out of everyday life, not keep me in the middle of it. I’m sure self help books are wonderful tools. I just haven’t had any luck keeping focused enough to read one.

I’m the same, I’ve got lots of books on anxiety but I rarely read them. I like to read books with happy endings.

Not at all!

I do occasionally slip in some light reading in-between anxiety self-help and Near Death Experience books.

I daren't tell you how many books I've got on autism then.

What do you read then? What's your 'thang'?

Have you tried listening to anxiety podcasts?

Psychological drama..Anything by Tessa Hadley and Claire Messud. I like Sebastian Faulkes too.

Reading is very much for pleasure for me and it's probably the only thing I've got at the moment. I've never been into researching issues..Probably explains why I know nothing! I tend to try to interpret the emotions behind anxiety rather than the science.

I have Birdsong. It's a 'to be read' one though..

I have to research.

Problem is that sometimes I have too many 'tabs open' in my brain.
