Long story short have been depressed for over 6 years, debilitating mental and physical health issues, autistic, no support, never had any love growing up, lots of trauma, absolutely suck at relating to others and sabotage all my relationships, and currently not enough money to even feed myself properly and no hope for the future if my illness keep progressing.
My life was awesome once for a short period in the first half of my twenties after going through a big healing journey where I did once change a lot of negative thought patterns. But I was younger and healthier and more hopeful and doing the same thing now in my 30s feels a lot harder. I feel like I’ve tried everything in the name of healing but I just don’t know how to find hope again with so much working against me and so little energy, non existent support, and the world just getting so much bleaker.
I don’t like modern therapy and have had so many harmful therapy experiences. I read and listen to therapists who have stepped away from the current mental health system and take more of a depth psychology approach.
I’ve taken yoga trainings and I’ve found yogic philosophy really helpful. I also enjoy Buddhist practices. And I find being in nature to be the most healing force of all. These are all the things that helped me the first time around. So considering all that, what book would you recommend me?
