It was my first day at a new job and I came here after work to reblog the next book in line.
I looked at the book and decided … NO! I do NOT want to share that!… and went on to the next post, and the one after that.
No, no, and NO!
All too depressing. Seriously.
This particular book may seem a little depressing, as you might have gathered from the part of the title that says, “Depressed”!

Next, let me tell you how this book came to be in my collection. I bought it many years ago and filled it out from stem-to-stern. Then one day, as I often do, I went back through it, read everything I’d written and deemed it “hot coals on fire” and ripped it up, page-by-page before I tossed it into the garbage.
PS to sentence above: *It* wasn’t garbage but I had decided that my contribution to it was. I kind of forgot about it, though not really. I’d noticed “Dialectical Behavior Therapy” here-and-there (clearly, it’s hyphen day!) and every time I saw those words, I thought of this book.
