Bored? Like audiobooks? Want self help?

This is helping keep me sane, especially with waiting for my biopsy results. Thought I’d share.

Just so you know, audiobooks.com is doing a free 30 day trial! It will ask you for credit card information, and will charge after 30 days. You can always cancel about 2 days before it charges you, so you don’t get charged if money is tight. You get 3 free books.

Don’t know how much longer it’s going on for.

Maybe til the end of the month? Not sure.

Thank you, I am going to try it. I enjoy audiobooks, especially when I have trouble sleeping, which is every night. karlou5455

Thank you, you have a wonderful day as well!

Hello again Hecate930,

I have spend a good deal of the morning reading your kind and loving responses to the people here struggling with troubles. I am touched by your strength and kindness.

I listened to "She Let Go". I can't make it through half the poem. My heart begins to pound, and I cry and hate myself. I am so proud of you for being brave enough to really hear this message. Maybe one day...

I wanted to let you know audio books are for free on the internet without any credit card or time limit. The books are in the public domain.

This one is a sort of a meta link. (It has links from other websites.):

openculture.com/freeaudiobooks

This one is easier to search if you google something like "librivox free audio book (title of book)". But their central link is here:

librivox.org/

Re LDS and living in Utah. Did you mean you have gotten help from the church in your journey? Or otherwise? (No judgment, I was trying to understand.)

Hope you find something good to read. Message me if you find something to share.

Awe, well thank you. I try to state things that have worked for me from professional opinions. I don’t think these things should be a secret. I appreciate the kind words 💕

Also, I am sorry the poem brought you to tears! It definitely was not meant for anyone to feel like they hate themselves either. I’m sorry that this happened. But, yes, maybe one day. I will have to put a trigger warning on there.

And yay! Thank you so much for this information!! That is very kind of you! I really appreciate it. I hope you have a beautiful day. Or at least try to find some peace today in this crazy world.

TRIGGER WARNING

My goodness, I don't think that lovely reading needs a trigger warning. It's me, Hecate, all me. I can't handle life now. What you offered was not the problem. My utter lack of hope and belief in myself is the problem.
