Hello Jessamy and Jo. I have already bought five different self help books for anxiety and depression. They are by Paul Vincent, Frank Tallis, Helen Kennerley, and David Burns (two by him as I thought I might have chosen the wrong book). All of them had excellent write-ups.

I really tried to follow the advice but to be honest none of them helped at all. They are now on their way to the Oxfam bookshop.

Do your books come with a money back guarantee?

Thank you.

Why is it that the words "lifestyle journalist" give me the creeps? Am I alone in this?

I am 60 years old. I took voluntary redundancy 3 years ago. I was extremely stressed and in the middle of the menopause. I tried to return to employment to no avail. I claimed my job seekers allowance for the 6 months, but with my husband employed I could no longer claim any benefit. I feel lost as I still feel I have a brain and would like to put it to use before I lose it....I'm too young to claim my pension but I would dearly love to earn some money rather than be dependant on my husband. Maybe I can't see the wood for the trees........

Modern life can be tough - constant changes, new technology, more choice, work and financial pressure can all add to our stress levels and affect our mental health. But help is at hand from Dr Jessamy Hibberd and lifestyle journalist Jo Usmar who draw on the latest cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) to show how to develop coping strategies and learn practical techniques to tack a range of problems quickly and effectively.

They've put together their advice in a new series of books... This Book Will Make You... Calm / Confident / Happy / Sleep (RRP £7.99 each) but will also be answering gransnetters' questions in an exclusive Q&A.

Add yours before 16 January and we'll pick 10 posters at random to win a copy their book (winners get to choose which of the series they would like).
