I know there have been quite a few threads about this, but I didn't know where to post, so thought I would start a new thread (hope this is ok!).
I started on the 'Beating the Blues' course last week through a local Mental Health Self-Help Support group. Having had some mis-givings about the computerised and non-personalised nature about this, I was somewhat surprised.
The group I am doing the course through, have provided me with someone to sit with me while I was doing the course, and this gave me the personalisation and the ability to talk through (with another actual human being!!!) what I was going to write and the things the course was providing.
Personally, I think this talking helped more than the computer program itself! I found the program a little frustrating as I didn't feel I had enough space to write what I wanted (one of the questions asking me to list my problems, only gave four short lines of space when I could have written for pages and pages - I have been through a lot!!!).
Hopefully it will continue to be of use, even if it just someone having someone else to discuss things with.
