((((((((Melissa))))))))) I don't really have anything to add to the great suggestions everyone else has made, but I just wanted to leave you a hug I'm really sorry it didn't work out with the ECT because of the side effects. That sucks. Do you think it's worth trying one of those anti-nausea drugs to see if that makes any difference???

At any rate, I totally agree with all the suggestions the others have made here. I think regular exercise is especially important. I can't think of a self-help book off the top of my head that I would recommend. I've read quite a few and they all become a bit of a blur after a while!!! But I will have a look in my "library" later and I'll definitely let you know if any book in particular leaps off the shelf at me.

Wishing you all the very best (((((((((((Melissa))))))))))))))))
