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.

"The Secret"

I like the tape about $25.00
watch it often.
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 gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...
