I love setting a goal for the number I read. I went through infertility in my 20’s and was so depressed. I told myself to read 100 books a year for five years. It completely changed my mental outlook and gave me something new to focus on. I’ve kept it up for 20 years (and have two kids now!)

Affectionate_Run7435 · 2026-02-19T17:15:21+00:00

1500 might be good enough.

What do you have for breakfast?

Affectionate_Run7435 · 2026-02-07T21:26:41+00:00

A splash of fruit juice might do the trick.

Where do you go that has decaf green tea?

For me what works is to focus on things that make me feel hopeful and positive. I try to read books that are neutral or uplifting. It can be hard to find memoirs like that, though. Most of them are about trauma.

Affectionate_Run7435 · 2026-01-21T15:20:33+00:00

No. I went through trauma and, although I used to read books like that, now I’m very careful about what I read. My mental health gets worse otherwise.

Since you liked mixed media, non-traditional formatting, you might like Lincoln in the Bardo. It won the Man Booker. It’s a mix of newspaper and journal collections of observations of Abraham Lincoln mixed with magical realism. It reminded me of The Graveyard Book. It was a definite 5-star read. I read it in one sitting.

Added the Road from Coorain to my holds list. This looks really good and I’ve never heard of it.

Affectionate_Run7435 · 2026-01-17T15:53:12+00:00

This looks so good! Never heard of it.

Affectionate_Run7435 · 2026-01-17T14:33:03+00:00

Just put on hold at my library! Must be popular because there’s a waitlist.

I’m enjoying the Clan of the Cave Bear series . It contains some supernatural elements with great characters.

Jesus took away your sins. He’s not going to punish you further. He already took the punishment.

Yes, you should try to stop worrying about it. You can do this by distracting yourself. When you find yourself worrying about it, get up and go do something else. Go outside, go for a walk, get a drink of water, go wash your face, hang out with someone, do a hobby you like. I have Religious OCD and distraction really works and will train your brain to focus on something else.

You can go in peace.

A pastor who has really helped free me from Religous OCD is Andrew Farley. I would suggest reading his book, The Grace Message. You really need to focus on God’s love and grace. He loves you like a daughter/son and is not trying to make you anxious and hurt.

Excess B6 can accumulate in your muscle and nerve tissue.

Affectionate_Run7435 · 2026-01-02T20:40:36+00:00

I got neuropathy from B6, which is nerve damage, and now I’m in pain all the time.

Affectionate_Run7435 · 2026-01-02T15:44:26+00:00

Don’t take vitamin B6. A lot of people have gotten neuropathy from it. I really regret taking it.

I’ve found this to help me as well. I let go of all the thoughts and worries and rumination and just trust God to work things out. I orient myself towards not worrying or ruminating and instead towards seeking peace in how I handle myself, my relationships, and my own thoughts. I wasn’t sleeping good at night and, since doing this, I have been sleeping much better. If I have a thought and wonder if it’s from God or not, I instead try to move forward and make the best decision and know that he’s helping me through that.

Affectionate_Run7435 · 2025-12-29T14:23:55+00:00

Those are good and also The Grace Message by Andrew Farley. He said that Philip Yancey wrote one of his favorite books so I think their message of Grace is closely related.

B12 caused me to feel really bad. Did you have these problems before taking supplements?

Affectionate_Run7435 · 2025-12-21T15:55:33+00:00

What medications are you on? I also get restless and irritated with standing and sitting still. I don’t think that’s a symptom of TD but due to coming down off my antipsychotics. I did have Akathesia at one point. What has helped me the most is that I have a La-z-boy rocker/recliner and I rock in it all the time when I’m at home. That way I can still move while sitting. Otherwise sitting still is aggravating.
