Publisher's Synopsis
Are you sometimes filled with paralyzing fear for no reason at all ? Does it come out of nowhere ? Do you spend days feeling anxious and you have no idea why ? Are you crippled with worry over something that is seemingly totally irrational ? Do you obsess about something to the point where you feel like your losing your mind ? If you said yes to any of these questions then this book is for you. My name is John and my adventure with mental illness, more specifically, panic attacks, anxiety, social anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder, and depression began over 20 years ago. In that 20 plus year period I feel I have become somewhat of an expert in living with these monsters. In this book I have written about my life before mental illness and how it has changed since. I offer insight into possible causes and reasons why these things are happening to you. I describe many of the techniques I use to fight back against these monsters and keep moving forward in my life. I also offer advice to those of you that are on the other side of this. The husbands, wives, brothers, sisters and friends of those that fight this fight. I've written a guide for surviving and thriving in spite of these monsters whether they are attacking you or someone you care about,
