Ooooh. I think it really depends. I contemplated for a while if it was actually good for me to be on these forums actually. Haha, in the end it just comes down to how I'm feeling on the day to day basis. If I want to go on the forums, I will. If I don't feel like it, I won't. But yes sometimes I feel like reading about it makes it worse.

I read The Bell Jar for the first time a month ago and man that was one crazy ride. The beginning was so slow but I was beyond scared when I finally read her meltdown. I was terrified that if a girl who was so talented and intelligent and felt the same ways I did couldn't find a happy ending by the end of the book how could I possibly find one. Aka terrifying till the last page. But it was such a beautiful read so I'll definitely end up reading it again.

Let me know how Prozac Nation goes! I've heard good things. Like I mentioned earlier, I guess just take it day by day and see how it goes. If you're not feeling so great after reading some of it, put it down for a while.

Best of luck!
