Learned Optimism by Martin L Seligman - this book changed my life. It describes the differences between being an optimist and a pessimist and gives you ways of turning into an optimist. Fantastic book for anyone suffering with depression

This book is for anxiety sufferers but I think it should be of help to depressed people too. "Feel the fear and do it anyway" by Susan Jeffers.
It helped me a lot and can be dipped in and out of. I gave it 10/10 which is rare for me.

It was the answer for me.

I've read a few but it didn't help me. The only one that did was for Panic Attacks. I think the arthur is Kornoble?

It's a bright blue book and the arthur practices here in Richmond, Va. Head of the mental hospital wing.

Seen his wifes oil paintings too.....amazing.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
