Default Books...need books...

I've been on this forum for a little over a year now I think. I know people have recommended books and given links in my posts...but I had to delete some of my own threads because I was afraid my husband would recognize my handle (stillme4you).

My problem is low self-esteem, low self-worth, depression, unhappiness with the amount of attention I get from my husband and his lack of being affectionate. It seems to me like he didn't used to be like that.

My problem is also spending my whole life obsessing over my husband and why he treats me the way he does (in my eyes, bad) and neglects me. But the obsessing part...I need to get away from that and learn how to just live my life and focus on myself and my kids.

If anyone can give me links to books or titles of books I can get and read (even if you already did before) can you do it again here so I can sorta help myself? I am going to IC and taking meds for depression and stuff, so I have been getting help on that, but there is still just stuff I'm so unhappy about in my marriage. I really feel most of the time he doesn't love me and is just putting up a front for our kid's sake.

Thank you.

I saw the movie Eat Pray Love, and even though it got mixed reviews and the author got some heat for some of the things she did (true story) I could identify with her journey on many levels.

I'd suggest picking it up (the book) and reading it.

Yeah, I tried watching the movie and just couldn't get into it. Maybe the book will be more engrossing.
