Yay @MoonGal

Can I just give you a book that I LOVE. it's by Lavinia Gomex and it's called Object Relations. Just shows how much Psychotherapy and Psychotherpapists see the beginning of life. But then....Object Relations is the most important beginning of life.

Thank you for your reccomendations too.

I think that you inspired me to begin my new chapter in my life @MoonGal....let me think about it. I'm writing a novel that is exciting but a pile of notes at the moment.

@Mazarita

I'm wondering if you, me @MoonGal @Shaz51 etc, can start up another thread about this depression? CAn you.....I would love to write to you. I have some ideas and you like very much to write to you about them. You have helped me so much in the past as well as I have to you my friend.

Hi,

I find the world of celebrities interesting.Read many of those who I like. One celebrity, Sharon Osbourne, I do not.I find her very aggressive, loud mouth, shock jockey and at times, disrespectful, the whole"I'm better than you' is annoying and makes money off her husband's fame.Kids are not much better.

Until my sister gave me a copy of her autobiography.'EXTREME'. Could not put it down. She strips herself raw. Talks about Ozzy and his childhood.Her slightly better childhood but it's definately no Kardashien BS. It is sad yet funny as hell and raw. Having to deal with Ozzy's band antics and errratic behaviour, mental illness, finacial ruins, substance abuse and much more, made me realise why she is so strong and in your face and aggressive and protects her family like a lioness. Get a copy now!.

Love this @Former-Member

Who would know? You just......take them as they are: being celebrities and all. I might get that one but I dont feel too bad for her still, the money and the fame....

But @Former-Member you say it allows you to look at her differently.......maybe I will. I feel like this when I see women walking on the street and they are a little older at about 50-60 years old and I feel like all they need are a hug.......

But they are loud and brash and it's easy to judge......

Perfect timing @Kurra

Yesterday I was weary and told my son I was approaching 60 ... but even then there is heaps to do and live.

Yeah @Shaz51 even the book nerd has moments when bits & snippets are all I feel like reading.

Also looking at

"The Women Were There" by Nancy Donkin

"The Forgotten Rebels of Eureka" by Claire Wright

Sometimes I might enjoy a book over 6 months ... getting sidetracked by other things in the mean time .. but hey .. its up to me how I read these days .. dont do it for school or work anymore ... Sigh .. phew!

Hi @Sharktank

Welcome to the forums .... 😊

I have only seen YouTube clips of Brene Brown, but they have been very good ....

Thanks for sharing about her book ....

I was heavily addicted to books, I would probably read 5 books per month. I read through my recovery regardless of symptoms. I think it helped me.

I don't read so much now, mainly due to finding other interests which take up a lot of my time.

I try to read at least one book per month. This month I finished The Almost Moon by Alice Sebold, I did not enjoy it, I continued reading it hoping it would get better but it did not.

The best book I read this year was Cloud Street by Tim Winton. Marvelous story!

Now I'm reading The Shop on Blossom Street by Debbie Macomber.

PS What a great thread!
