Being pro active

I have decided to be proactive and very precise about it all. I have purchased 5 books which have been promised to arrive in the next week or so:

1. Sunbathing in the Rain: A Cheerful Book About Depression - Gwyneth Lewis
2. I Had a Black Dog - Matthew Johnstone
3. Living with a Black Dog - Matthew Johnstone
4. Taming the Black Dog: How to Beat Depression - A Practical Manual for Sufferers, Their Relatives and Colleagues - Patrick Ellverton
5. SOD-IT: The Depression 'Virus' and How to Deal with it - Martin Davies

Hmmmmmmm, not really my kind of reading but I am very keen to find out what other people may think about it all and what things that I have not thought about to put in place.

A few of these books made me laugh.....I mean a cheerful book about depression? The books by Matthew Johnson are fantastic, my ex had one given to him by his Mum when he was going through the worst parts of that year.

Part of me wonders if I am really that bad, considering I am willing (?) to look into it more and find out some more information....it almost feels like I am phony! Haha, a phony sufferer of depression.....an interesting concept.

As my brother put it so eloquently - "Well, they don't just give them to everyone!"

Only time will tell.....in the mean time, bring on these books!
