I found this book very useful. It was the first time I had attempted to review my condition and this helped. It gives advice on how to overcome the problem yourself and although I tried this, it didn't work for me as I had been a sufferer for too long. After many years with this condition, I found that it made me realise it was about time I seeked professional help and that I could overcome the problem.
