Some Training and Education Links
Below are some links for basic free training, many are courses that are free online, if you can learn that way and stick to it (Use work, before, lunch, after shower, social pressure, etc)
DON'T BULLSHIT YOURSELF ABOUT THIS, YOU DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT IT, LEARN BY DOING FIRST
Some Evidence Based University and Private Mindfulness Training Programs (Many free online + video and audio instruction)
Here are some references for some of the things cited earlier, medically based interventions using evidence based mindfulness practice. Many such programs are offered by universities to the public, check your area for an upcoming course. Watch some of the videos, it will do more for you than all the other TV you watch. If you go to any of these sites and others like them on the web, you'll understand why I don't bother to teach the basic practices here, they are already well covered by experts, have a look at the videos and links. DON'T FORGET TO ASK YOUR DOCTOR ABOUT THIS! HE/SHE MIGHT BE ABLE TO HELP TOO, perhaps your medical insurance will pay for it!
YOU MUST PRACTICE FORMAL SITTING TWICE DAILY FOR 20-30 MIN EACH TIME
YOU CANNOT LEARN BY READING ALONE, PRACTICE IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN BOOKS
A good place to start and lots of articles and free mindfulness courses and teaching podcasts Aa ton of resources this will keep you busy and steer you in the right direction, science based, Buddhist roots.

The Mindful Way Through Depression: Freeing Yourself from Chronic Unhappiness (Book & CD) Strongly recommended for depression
https://www.amazon.com/Mindful-Way-Through-Depression-Unhappiness/dp/1593851286
Join four uniquely qualified experts as they explain why our usual attempts to “think” our way out of a bad mood or just “snap out of it” lead us deeper into the downward spiral. Through insightful lessons drawn from both Eastern meditative traditions and cognitive therapy, they demonstrate how to sidestep the mental habits that lead to despair, including rumination and self-blame, so you can face life’s challenges with greater resilience. Jon Kabat-Zinn narrates the accompanying CD of guided meditations, making this a complete package for anyone seeking to regain a sense of hope and well-being.
If you can't find a local course and even if you can.
