I’ve been really struggling with depression lately and I’ve always turned to reading in the past. Often it was reading fanfics or rereading books. I’m trying to read new books right now but the constant start and finish is difficult. I think right now I’m also struggling with how most of my comfort reads are about romance and found family and doing what you love. Those things are are both nice and hard to read about right now. So I thought I’d ask you guys for any tips and tricks and honestly just open discussion: what do you do to motivate yourself to read when you’re depressed? What kind of comfort reads do you seek out? I know there are so many lists about comfort and coziness and romance, but what makes something a comfort read to you - nostalgia, low stakes, cozy atmosphere, heas, etc.? Sending lots of love to everyone right now and know that you are not alone.
