For everyone suffering from depression, low self-esteem, or just feeling like a burden, or, in my case, incredibly angry that a successful career has been put on hold by this ghastly illness, I highly recommend Kristin Neff's book Self-Compassion. This will stop the warring factions within and the negative self-talk. I have learned more about myself by reading this than from any therapist and it has brought me great comfort.

I love to read, I as well will check it out, over the years I've read a lot of self help books, as the depression does come and go and I've tried the therapy as well but I don't really think they get it. So I try to build my own self confidence and survival, a strong mind is the best medicine ever.
Hi Windex
Thanks for the reply, I definitely agree with you about therapists not getting it. I so wish more than anything that I could accept that I am probably going to be sick and disabled for the rest of my life but I am still angry. I want peace but instead find despair. I think the mental health side is just as bad as the physical side.
