Any self help books for women who don’t have good relationships (and possibly are depressed and jaded)? Maybe something for courage to lead a life without depending on others

Self help books are good but maybe consider therapy if you havent?

If you’re using an app like BetterHelp I will say I’ve noticed that feeling of being cut off too. My very first therapist (before the pandemic) was in-person and it felt very organic.

Consultant, can i ask you a question - if you have had a book and read it, would you adhere to it or…found bunch of logical arguments why its not going to work?

If you follow more of a logical approach to self help S1 I would suggest reading/listening to books like “The subtle art of not giving a f*ck” or “Unfu*k yourself: get out of your head and into your life”. Both have a very harsh and realistic pov but do tap into your self worth/confidence

I’m dealing with severe anxiety about my future. Woke up at 4 this morning and found it difficult to get back to sleep. I’ve talked to a therapist and family, taken medication, and read self-help books, nothing seems to work. I feel as though it’s never going to get better.

I’m depressed. Nothing unique about my depression - I’m in big law, my career defines me, when I’m not working I can’t find the will to get off the couch, I’m sad or I’m numb…I know I’m the only one that can make a change to my life…I’m on antidepressants. Just extremely unmotivated and paralyzed. Self-help books are not for me, but I am curious - has anyone tried a guided depression/anxiety journal? Any recommendations if so? Or, if you have experienced the same, what steps did you take?
