Can someone recommend me a self-help book for depression?

[TheWaterNokk]

I’m getting a bit desperate now.

It’s low level. But it’s the numbness. The lack of excitement about anything. I feel nothing really. I need to pull myself back together.

Manage your mind by Gillian Butler. Some books are too full of American jargon for me but Gillian Butler is an English, Oxford based author / clinician. I find it very sensible. The Road Less Travelled is good and by an American Psychiatrist. Lots of free resources on the web too. CCI in Australia is great and that's a really good place to start

Hi

Most NHS trusts work with “the recovery college” it is online and you can join free.

Their are a good range of credible self-help resources on there.

Stop Thinking, Start Living by Richard Carlson did it for me. It was recommended by Julian Cleary in an interview I read in a newspaper. Kept it beside my bed for years with highlighted passages that I reread when I needed to. Still use the methods 18 years later to keep stuff in perspective. Best wishes OP.

Thank you
