Question - (16 October 2010) 2 Answers - (Newest, 16 October 2010)
A female United States age 26-29, anonymous writes:

Hi, I am 13 years old. This isnt much of a relationship question, but I desperatly need some answers. Ok, so I have been really depressed and I feel unloved and unwanted and unneeded. So I want to read a really good book. I want to read a fiction book that is about love and heartbreak, and deprssion. Reading books that are full of emotions somehow help me. Does anybody have any good suggestions as to what I can read? I know this a weird question, do I seem stupid for even asking? All answers are greatly appreciated, thanxxx

OhGetReal agony auntYes, the Wuthering Heights book is one of the most downer love stories, but one word of caution, this book is about a totally dysfunctional love relationship and the danger is that you will buy into this load of crap as being what love and romance is supposed to be like.

In fact part of the problem for women is that when we watch romance movies and read romance novels it fills our head with the worst relationship advice and role models possible.

If you really want to treat your depression and want to learn how to recognize healthy relationships is to actually go and get some real therapy. Perhaps you could confide in a family member about this, how you are feeling and that you would like some professional help. It doesn't mean that you are crazy or anything like that, but that you recognize that you are in emotional pain and you want to talk to someone who can be objective and help you get to the bottom of it.

Take care, doll.

TasteofIndia agony auntYou want a bummer book? Hmmm, do you like classics? Most classic books are about love, heartbreak and depression. Like Little Women, Wuthering Heights, Frankenstein, Dracula (excellent classic books. Forget about the movies. They are whack!)...

I find that older books are much more about searing emotion, love, pain, heartbreak, etc. Maybe try some of those? Good luck - and good question! I'll be trying to think of some more books all day...
