Re: mid life crisis
to NMP Martin. Many here will identify with the way you are feeling at the moment. There is a strange comfort in that.There is a brilliant book by Dr Claire Weekes;SELF HELP FOR YOUR NERVES published by Thorsens ISBN 0-7225-3155-9.This is available from the NMP shop. Dr Weekes was a physician and scientist. She was a fellow sufferer (nominated for the nobel prize for medicine) and really understood this illness. She took the mystery out of it, and devised a simple programme for recovery. I can't recommend this enough.( It is a bit old fashioned, but still so relevant). This will get better.
Here is a link to her site;

Have you tried Cognitive Behavioural Therapy or Mindfulness Martin? Both also good for us overthinkers. Another book which has really helped me is;
Matthieu Ricard ' Happiness...a guide to developing life's most important skill ' published by Atlantic ISBN 978-1-84354-558-3.He is a French Buddhist monk and a very accomplished man....here is a link to one of his talks.....

This will get better. Veronicax
