I have just finished reading The Worry Go Round by Melanie Cross and felt I should write to express my views how this book has helped me. For many years I too have suffered from depression of varying degrees and have taken anti depressants for many of those years. I am fortunate in that I have a very understanding GP who has given me every support possible, often listening to me for what has probably amounted to many hours.
Recently having suffered from recurring stomach problems he sent me to see a gastrologist who decided that stress and depression was most likely the cause for many of the symptoms I was experiencing. Whilst at the clinic I was handed a leaflet on Spiritual healing and having read the leaflet decided that anything was worth trying if it freed me of the depression and the aches and discomfort.. I have been receiving this treatment for the last 6 weeks and although it is early days I feel so much better and can say that I am coming to terms with the fact that I can not alter the way other people lead their lives but only alter my own. I believe that Melanie discovered this too. So many of her experiences, I too have been through and I simple could not believe that our paths had followed many of the same routes. Although I have never experienced the terrible sexual abuse I have expereiced bereavment which shook my world apart, losing both my parents in a space of 5 weeks and having to deal with the fallout this left behind. I feel I must thank Melanie as she has helped me to realise that my future is my own destiny and no-one elses. Please thank her if you are able or pass on this email to her.
