Thanks Joy.
I was looking at the books, and there seems to be a "Feeling Good Handbook" as well as a "Feeling Good: The New Mood Therapy" with the latter being cheaper. They both seem to have good reviews, but according to some reviewers, Burns bashes the idea that depression and anxiety have to do with anything physical, which I think is ignorant. They both/either seem to be worth buying, according to reviews on Amazon, but many say that it's not a cure-all, or that clinically depressed patients might not benefit greatly. There's a "Ten Days to Self Esteem" by Burns that looks very promising. Have you ever heard or read about that one?Yes, the SJW did nothing for me, or made me feel worse, if anything. I'm going to try SAM-E, which has been said to work fairly quickly, I'll let you know. The $400 thing I was talking about is a self-course, with several tapes, that takes about 11 weeks to do, and has remarkable success. I'm not really in a great position to spend 400 dollars, so a friend is letting me copy the tapes, and you can buy the workbook separately. Anyway thanks for your input.
