Hey everyone!

Anyone have any recommendations on books to help with depression?

I reached out to a therapist that ended up being awful. And then my search has kind of ceased due to the fact that no one can see me because of my schedule. No one is wiring to work with the fact I only have 2 weekday evenings available to make an appointment. I work 2 jobs and most therapist I have contacted are booked out months, don't work past 4pm, and don't work weekends.

My supervisor has been very understanding with me taking time off and making it up here and there. But I don't want to abuse that privilege. I have already had to take time off for girly appointments and what not so. To ask to take off more time for therapy during the week would probably not swing well after awhile. Due to my second job that I go to right after my office job, I don't have much time during the week to make up time anyways.

So I'm trying to find other sources. Any recommendations to help cope or help me feel better would be appreciated!

Are you looking for help in general or just books on depression?

I find those books actually depressing but thats just me. I like to explore my own ways to cope with downfalls.

Maybe the question here is what interests you? Explore everything and try to sense what could make you feel better and think clearer.

Im not sure of any shortcut.
