Thank you for this, will buy most probably buy this.

I am not used to all this short words, what is CBT?

I am not against drugs either but I just dont think they are helping me in the long run.I have absolutely NO reasons for being unhappy.
I managed to keep my job, get a lot of support, could even choose exactly how many hours I would like to work, they paid for all treatment - even after the insurance ran out ( ok I am cash cow for them also, money talks...).My family supports me in all sorts of ways, I am doing some real exiting stuff in my spare time. No one would ever suspect me as your "typical" in the danger zone of depression guy (drug, alcohol, no money, no education, some one died etc.)
I couldnt ask for a better setup in my life but still I just get sad, it is so strange to me.
