Recently my mental health is not doing well. Usually I read nonfiction and other practical books, but my brain hurts too much to stay focus on anything too complex and detail-intense. Can anyone recommend someone easier and calming for the mind so that I won’t keep dead-scrolling on TikTok? Thank you.

    Combine stimulants with audio books. Lay in bed if you are sad and just take it all in. Seriously lol, I have severe ADHD. And when I get sad I lean on my nicotine patch, caffeine intake, and of course my prescribed Vyvanse. And when I’m feeling better, I get back to the gym to help the ADHD.

    As far as a good book that isn’t insanely complex or detail intense, I really enjoyed “I’m Glad My Mom Died” by Jennette McCurdy. Potential trigger warnings though: she talks about sexual abuse.
