I usually have a quick flick through and think ' load of rubbish' and then dont bother ever doing the exercises or anything? Anybody ever bothered to do any of the exercises etc and found them any good? e.g. Burns - New Mood therapy or similar? -------------------- "Every day when I wake up I thank the Lord I'm Welsh" - Catatonia

I have read a few 'self-help' books often written by people who suggest they have also suffered. Others I have skimmed through on bookshelves or borrowed from the Library. However, most do not relate to my problem. Most authors seem to have been 'cured' very simply ......... and some I do not believe ever 'suffered' but jumped on a band-wagon Do you act on any other types of book that you might read? Do you rush into farming for example ;-). Little steps! -------------------- Lizzy Any change is scary even when we want it
