Looking for mental health fiction about early 20s

Hey guys :) when I was younger I loved books like perks of being a wallflower, girl interrupted, girl in pieces etc. However as I’ve gotten older I don’t relate to teenage girl protagonists anymore. Does anyone have any recs for books like those books but for older audiences? Thanks in advance!

My ex self harmed right after we broke up and I’m feeling so guilty

TW: Self Harm
My ex-boyfriend moved out of our house after we broke up. I was not there when he was moving out and when I came home I found a used blade just sitting out next to the bathroom sink. He had never self-harmed before, but I had. I’ve struggled with self harm my whole life. He was the one that ended the relationship, and I’m extremely confused as to why he would do this in general. Nevertheless, leave it out for me specifically to see. I feel extreme guilt like something in me caused him to do this. I don’t understand why he would leave it there for me to hide. Especially with my past of my own self harm, it’s like he was dangling it in front of me to relapse. Although that makes me feel extremely selfish. I just don’t know what to think or do.

Asking for advice on if I should go ahead and get saline implants or wait a couple years for silicone

I 20f (32b around 5’6-5’7 120 pounds) have always been insecure about my breast size. I really want to have the most natural result, but as big as I can go before it looks bolt on. I want my boobs to still have that bouncy, soft look and feel to them that we see in naturally larger-chested ladies such as Sydney Sweeney. My breasts are also a bit wide set I can fit around 3 fingers in between. My hips and thighs are much bigger than my bust proportionally, so it’s important to me to be evened out. I’m not looking for something that gives me perfect cleavage in bikinis/clothes. Mainly just focusing on looking the most natural without clothes. My dilemma is, most of what I can see online shows saline implants are less fit for my goals. If I wait until I’m 22 I can get silicone/gummy bear/motiva. I would love any insight or advice :)

Can’t stop feeling like the giant in the room

Girl dinner: Mango TikTok viral pastry
I’ve been taller than most anyone in my age group for as long as I can remember. It makes me feel super insecure about my body. In my past relationships, my exes all had only dated 5-foot nothings with big boobs, which made me so self-conscious. They also were all addicted to 🌽, so me being me was not good enough for them. My mom is around 5 feet. My dad is below average height, so even in my own home I feel like just a big monster. Being tall seems to be the beauty standard; however, I don’t think many people actually mean that. My clothes don’t fit right because dresses and skirts are so much shorter on me. Men seem to only want women that they have these drastic height differences with. It just really sucks for average women unless you're a gorgeous model like Zendaya or a Hadid.

Finally in recovery for the first time in almost a year :)

I have struggled with eating disorders ever since I was very little. I came from a family of binge eaters and this contributed to binge-eating for me on and off till I was about 16. I remember I wanted to be anorexic so badly, so I would be skinny. However, I was never able to stop binging. When I was 16, I developed anorexia for the first time. I battled it for about 3 years. On and off, it ruined my relationships, made me horrible to be around, and I was toxic to my ex-boyfriend. When we broke up, I had the worst relapse I’ve ever had. I lost a ton of weight extremely fast. Very soon after the breakup, I was assaulted multiple times, which led me to purging. I’ve been steadily gaining weight for about 3/4 months now, and I’m officially not underweight anymore. I haven’t purged in 2 1/2 months, and I’m so proud of myself :) I can finally look in the mirror and feel good about my appearance

My boyfriend 22M is scaring me 19F and I’m really at a loss for what I should do?

Trigger Warnings: SA/rape
A bit of backstory I was assaulted/raped by someone that was basically a stranger. We had been out a few times, and he was extremely manipulative and did horrible things to me. I met my current boyfriend after all of that happened. He was my first sexual partner since the assault. I’ve been trying to work through my trauma and feelings about what happened to me. When we are intimate, things come up, and I can get emotional. For the most part he is very understanding and doesn’t push me into anything. However, sometimes when I am feeling emotional about what happened to me and I need emotional support, he gets upset. He doesn’t get angry at me; he gets angry at the man that hurt me. However, he has made comments about finding him and insinuating he would hurt him. I have told him this makes me scared and uncomfortable, but I don’t think he understands. He is a very traditional “alpha” type man. I want to be able to feel safe in my relationship to talk about my trauma, but I’m worried he would want to find this guy and hurt him. He’s a very protective person, and I know he just loves me and hates that I was hurt. I just don’t know what to do; I’m feeling very conflicted. I love him and want to be with him; it just really scares me when he talks like that. I never want to have to deal with this guy again, so it would be my worst nightmare if anything were to happen.

What kind of questions would be best for a psychic medium reading?

I’m planning on doing a psychic medium reading for my birthday over the phone. However I don’t want to provide too much information in my questions where if the reader isn’t legit it’s easier for them to build on it. What kind of questions are general enough to not emit extra info but still beneficial to hear? Thank you!

How do I stop feeling like I 20F don’t deserve to be with my boyfriend 22M? (Together 5 months)

I met my boyfriend around January of this year. A few months prior to that, I got out of a toxic long-term relationship. There were a ton of trust issues in this relationship (cheating, constant lies, betrayal) which contributed to me becoming extremely controlling and sometimes cruel and mean. I grew up in an extremely abusive environment, which contributed to me viewing these behaviors as normal. After that relationship ended, I did a ton of self reflection and realized how toxic I was in the past and everything I did wrong. My current relationship with my boyfriend has been wonderful. He is so extremely kind and understanding. I am not controlling at all in this relationship and I really do feel like I’ve changed. However, he wants a long-term commitment and I feel like I cannot let go of my guilt for being toxic and borderline emotionally abusive in the past. I feel like I deserve to never be happy because of the things I’ve done. I worry he is too good for me and I just don’t deserve to have a healthy relationship. I know everyone makes mistakes when they are young but it just feels irredeemable.

AIO about my grandparents selling my stuff

I’ve always had a complicated relationship with my grandparents. They have been very cruel and abusive in the past. My grandmother has stage four cancer and is on hospice. My grandfather is of able mind and body. My father died when I was young and he lived with them so a ton of my childhood things were left at their place. Today I just found out my grandmother sold some of my things without asking including a dollhouse my dad made for me. I feel extremely shocked as they did not ask me if it was okay to sell these things or tell me to come get them. I feel heartbroken that the objects attached to my memories from my late dad are gone. Am I overreacting for being extremely upset even though my grandmother is on hospice?

Does every person have to have a life review in the afterlife no matter the circumstances?

Lately I’ve latched onto learning about spirituality. I’ve read a ton about life reviews, and it’s been causing me great anxiety. Personally, I think about bad things I’ve done every single day; it consumes a lot of my life. Even small things I've done as a child. The idea that I will have to relive it all and feel it more intensely is terrifying to me as I deal with the negative emotions, such as guilt, on the physical plane so intensely already. Would love to hear anyone’s perspective on this.

So my ex boyfriend moved out of our house around 6 months ago. When he moved out I noticed that he had accidentally taken my old phone. This wasn’t a big deal to me as I wasn’t using it anymore. I also wasn’t wanting to talk to him because it was a bad breakup. On the find my phone app the phone was at his parents house. I distinctly remember seeing his parents address. The phone hadn’t been to that house in around 6/7 months prior to the breakup. Today all of a sudden the phone was on top of a table. I searched high and low for months to possibly find this phone and it’s just on a table. I’m freaking out this is the craziest thing that’s ever happened to me. I’ve been thinking about it heavily for a week how I wanted the phone back.

I’m looking for some book recs with spooky town vibes. Could be horror thriller or even romance. I love the whole silent hill/coraline/life is strange/uzumaki type story. Foggy vibes and a town and/or people that are not what they seem. Any help is appreciated :)
