Yes, Mark I agree with you, and I think I've found that it works well for me at least. You figure out what you do when you're not depressed and/or are happy, and do that. For me, exercise, seeing friends, keeping busy, trying to challenge myself in small ways, etc. and not focusing so much on your feelings is what I've taken from the books. It does seem to work well for me, b/c I really used to be too overanalytic, worrying, anxious type so I think I focused too much on my feelings or depression or whatever. Doing what works does works for me, although it sounds so simple but for some reason I didn't do much of that most of my life! Karen
