I am not Buddhist as a religion, but am just starting to dip my toes in the water of the philosophies as a way of dealing with my depression/anxiety. I got the idea when hearing the author of the book:
Walk Like a Budda- Even if your boss sucks your ex is torturing you & you're hungover again
On public radio. What he said made so much sense. I started mindful meditation and I would say it's helped significantly. I did order the book but haven't had time to read it aside from the introduction, but am looking forward to it. I have signed up for the Buddhist forum as well as the Mindful Meditation forum.

Good luck to you!
