I'm taking Melatonin for insomnia. . .so I have that covered. The 5-HTP doesn't make me tired. It gives me panic attacks. Sorry. . . it's not just turkey.

Hi Doogie: The difference is that many people hold a firm believe in God, while they realize that Santa Claus is a myth (though based on a real person) and fairy tales came from some writers' imaginations. I for one, have no doubt that God exists. While I doubted it for a long time, years have passe...

Hi Song: The origin of the word resent actually breaks down to re-feel. Over the years, I have had several of my friends tell me that it isn't good for ME to resent any of my family members for the wrongs they committed against me. (Believe me, some of the worst things ever done to me, have been don...

I guess asking questions is just who I am. My boyfriend says I ask entirely too many questions. I realize that we're all different, but many people have used the program successfully by following the directions. It's very well thought out.

Hi Doogie: They were for me. The negative thoughts combined with my procrastination to add to my depression. Every time I did - or didn't - take certain actions, the negative thoughts, and the depression associated with them became even worse. It's a hard cycle to break, but one that is completely a...
