Somebody on here recommended a good book about Depression called 'Depressive Illness - The Curse of the Strong by Dr Tim Cantoher. Can't remember who recommended it and can't seem to find the original post.

I ordered this book off Amazon Cost around £6) and found it very helpful & easy to follow. So many things rang true. I can highly recommend it.

So, thank you, whoever you are on here for recommending it.

Thanks so much Hopetobehappy. Yes, I also thought it could have been written for me. So many things make more sense now. I shall definitely order his book on stress and also one he wrote called 'Dying for a Drink' - I am trying to knock my nightly wine habit on the head!

Take care x

Maybe I should get that one too....lol. So glad others are reading it and there are these books / things that really help us reflect and move on. I've started reading the next one and it is great, he just writes like he's chatting to you! I keep on thinking of something he said in it, think of him being sat on your shoulder and what he'd say. I did (I think I said?) email him to say thank you for writing it and he replied! What a lovely kind man he is!
