A book I give 5 stars to purely due to its value to me but not one I’m likely to recommend.
For a book about living with high anxiety the way this was written and the editing sure did give anxiety! But the author does preface the book by acknowledging that it wanders. The first 2/3 of the book weren’t for me. But that last 1/3 gave a voice to many of my experiences that I haven’t found in other books on the topic. From the lack of mental anxiety during bouts of extreme physical anxiety, to control, contradictory responses to having and making choices, and friendships. I found myself saying “yes!” and that felt really good.
I didn’t really learn anything new and the read was chaotic, but the cover is beautiful and it’s the first time I’ve seen parts of my individual blend voiced by someone else.
*adding for my own notes as a reference later - the part about holding people to when they say they’re going to do something, even things that seem trivial, but then they don’t do it. Also how those who are flexible often come off as flaky to me. And how both situations are incredibly difficult for me to move past. Spot on!
