@stripper_oprah@Tamara0h@GailSchimmel I have loved each of his books but would definitely recommend Anxious People, A Man Called Ove, and My Grandmother Sends Her Regards and Apologises by him as must reads! Those got me through some very dark times 🌻
@stripper_oprah@Tamara0h@GailSchimmel I also loved Eleanor Oliphant and a Man Called Ove is one of my favourites ♥️ I absolutely adore Fredrik Backman’s writing- he captures the human experience in such a beautiful and funny way and his work resonated very loudly with my own mental health struggles.

Just read something about replacing "I'm sorry" with "thank you". So, instead of saying "sorry I was late", say "thank you for waiting for me". Replacing negativity with positivity and gratitude and breaks the "i'm sorry" cycle. Powerful.
Sarah Sanders: “It is very Biblical to enforce the law.”

Even attempting recovery shows immeasurable strength 🌻It’s amazing how if any other organ of the body is sick, we are given abounding sympathy. Except when it’s the brain. 💔 https://t.co/34dXAB2Sw8
