Thanks Alex.

I have an Albert Ellis book somewhere. It's my father's copy actually, falling apart at the seams (probably from overuse).

I think my main problem with photoreading is simply discipline - I can rarely work up the discipline to finally get round to trying photoreading. This weekend (today or tomorrow) I am absolutely going to try to photoread, I suppose if I think a little more positively I might actually get somewhere with it.

Not that it actually matters but my father thinks I have absolutely no reason to be depressed right now, "sure you have no girlfriends, no money, no job and consequently no real social life . . ." I think eventually he got to the point where he mentioned that I am actually doing something about it. But I digress, just as a final unrelated thought (unrelated to photoreading) I think I may have already largely purged myself of many of my neuroses and it is not being neurotic that is making me depressed - I think I am simply desperately lonely. What's the cure for loneliness?
