What book(s) should I get to interpret tarot as a beginner?

I have used tarot in the past and had relied on books for interpretation but had also built a pretty basic understanding (I don’t want to use AI for both ethical reasons and reliability, or websites for readings/interpretations because I do not personally believe they can portray as clear a message as a physical deck and interpretation), however, as it is said to happen, I lost my tarot cards when I no longer needed them (Over 3 years ago). I have recently been interested in tarot again and don’t remember what book I used previously, so I wanted to get some recommendations on books for tarot reading interpretations.
I am looking for a book that ideally covers both upright and reversed cards, and if possible (but not necessary at all) has a guide about reading cards together (as in, say, interpreting getting the page of pentacles with the tower (random cards named for example purposes)). Otherwise, website recommendations are also appreciated for interpretations!!!!
Any recommendations are very appreciated! Thank you so much!

Has anyone else started trintellix and broken up with their partner without feeling anything?

My partner started trintellix 7 months ago, and a week after they broke up with me. We had been together for 6 years in what was previously a happy relationship (we had our bumps like every relationship, but for the most part we were happy). Since then, they have shown complete apathy and disregard for any connection we had in the past, it is as if their feelings just switched off entirely one morning, after having made plans for the future just days prior. They moved on instantly, it’s as if the comfort of a relationship just wasn’t enough and they need the excitement of the honeymoon phase constantly. I am on different medication (Remeron), and understand that you can feel numb and crave quick dopamine, but this is extreme. They experienced several episodes of mania and depression but each time showed a complete disinterest in any of our history or for me at all. I know this post comes across as selfish, but I am genuinely worried about them, as well as feeling my own natural pain over a breakup. (We are still in contact and speak to eachother daily). Has this happened to anyone else?

I am 19 and in the UK. I am currently seeing psychiatrists and being assessed for two disorders (one being the reason I was referred in the first place, and the other was picked up on by the psychiatrists during the initial assessment), and I have disclosed that in the past, I have self harmed, and also attempted suicide (all 5 years ago). Due to a recent situation, I have been self harming again, but I haven’t told my psychiatrist as I fear being admitted into a hospital. If I were to tell them about the self harm and explain (truthfully) that the harm itself is superficial and not intended or likely to cause permanent damage or death, would they still need to report me to anyone? If I wouldn’t be admitted to a hospital, would they have to hold me in a hospital temporarily, or is there anything else they would need to do?
Thank you!

My bboyfriend broke up with me 3 weeks ago, and I am not sure what to think of this, I am in a psychotic episode at the moment, supposedly due to suspected (by a psychiatrist) schizoaffective disorder and BPD. Although I am having delusions and other symptoms, I am not actively thinking of, trying to, or acting in any way that would cause harm to myself or others, and thus they have no grounds to involuntarily hold me. I have been having outbursts of anger and depression and insane mood swings.
My ex, who I still live with, kept threatening to lie to the psychiatrists at the appointment (who, due to my episode, I was already convinced were scheming against me) and say that I was actively trying to harm myself.
I still live with my boyfriend and it is currently impossible to change either of our housing situations, so no-contact is virtually impossible (which, although is probably only harming me, I am grateful for), and he is understandably becoming exhausted by my outbursts (although I will add, he has been acting out as well. I do not condone how I have been acting but it would be wrong to place all of the blame on myself, even though that is what I am doing).
Both my friends and his friends are saying he is in the wrong for threatening this (and also for how he treated me both in and after the relationship) but I wanted to get opinions from people who are unbiased, because I’m not sure if I am right to be upset about this before I hear back from my appointment, and I feel like I am going insane.
