"Now the standard cure for one who is sunk is to consider those in actual destitution or physical suffering - this is an all-weather beatitude for gloom in general and fairly salutory daytime advice for every one. But at three o’clock in the morning … the cure doesn’t work - and in a real dark night of the soul it is always three o’clock in the morning, day after day." F. Scott Fitzgerald

I'm quite obsessed with the 1960s counter culture revolution, the music and all the history that happened during the decade with the moon landing, assassination of JFK and MLK Jr. Is there a book or books you can suggest that go in depth about what life was like in the 1960s with all these different influences? I'm looking for a non-fiction book. Thanks!

I have some serious attachment issues, I hold on to people way longer than I should, even after they have stopped being good to me. I can recognize how they treat me is not what I deserve but every time I think of walking away I just think of all the good times from the past and think of all their good qualities and can't end up cutting anyone out of my life.

Ever since I was 10 (or maybe before that, I can't really remember) I've had weird obsessive compulsive habits that go on for months or years... for example sometimes I count up letters in words I say or other people say, and I do that all the time! Other times I count the steps I take and if I don't end at an even number I have to take an extra step. I have other weird OCD ticks and most of the time they don't interrupt my life (except drive me crazy in my head) but ever since I've stopped myself from doing some of those OCD behavior I have developed other ones... like the number of times I can call someone in a week, or how many days I have to wait before I respond to emails. I mean its
