Does anyone know what the book is called by Claire Weekes,shes got few books xx

[Hidden]

Yes. warkie. She wrote her first book back in the 60's. "Self Help for your Nerves". It was an immediate best seller. Then came "Peace from Nervous Suffering". Then books on Agoraphobia about which she specialised; mainly for professionals. She got the MBE for this work. Her publishers have put together a compilation of her work and some updated material that she wrote prior to her death. "Essential help for your Nerves". Available from Amazon. These books have become my 'bible', and together with counselling, got me out of the 'hole'. She had little time for psychiatrists and did fall out with her colleagues at times. She felt it was the here and now that needed sorting not what happened years ago. (Controversial).Hope this helps. jonathan.

Thanku 4 the link, hav jst purchased a book on panick + nerved. Was used but in good condition + at only £1.11 + £2.80 postage it was worth ago, has im out of work due 2 illness, so not much money. Does it really matter if a book is pre owned as long as its readable, heard gud reviews about claire weeks. Hav also read a really good book panick attacks by christine ingham which is also sold on amazon. Same link as above. personaly i think panick attacks r frightenin but its the constant profound levels of anxiety that r sendin me over the edge, feel like my arms hav alife of their own, can feel every nerve in them, feels like constant adrenalin bein injected in them. I actualy feel like gettin aknife + cuttin my arms off. Is only a thought though, no real intensions. Feel like every1 is gonna get fed up wiv me constantly moanin, im not normaly like this but am so mentaly ill at the moment hav lst all faith in gettin better. It really does feel impossible 2 c beyond anythin but my illness at the moment. Is truly torturing me, really not in a healthy state of mind.
