		<description>I&#039;ve done something very similar. We dropped print newspapers, and I don&#039;t watch tv news or listen to much NPR. I don&#039;t want to read online headlines either. Instead I read thoughtful, balanced magazine articles quite remote from the latest scare, disaster or warning of the imminent destruction of life as we know it. That takes a lot of stress out of my life, and the relief is central to my struggle against depression.

I need to say also that your book, Getting It Done When You&#039;re Depressed, helped me enormously to make the changes in my work life I desperately needed. Those steps and the adjustment of expectations about how I need to manage work have removed a crushing load of stress. I can&#039;t thank you enough for that!

All my best  --  John

Hi John, 

Thank you very much for your nice words. I am glad my difficulties with work have helped others with their difficulties. I&#039;m having one of the those days where I&#039;ve drifted in and out of projects- which means the guilt is starting. So I said to myself- Julie, do you want to feel better? Then sit in front of your computer and do what you need to do! And I got to read your nice comment! Julie </description>
