Publisher's Synopsis
I will never see the sea again. This sentence, which I once heard
from an affected person, burned itself into my head and
strengthened the hopelessness in me that I would never get well
again.
I welcome you warmly and am happy you are here to
accompany me through the most drastic part of my life story. I'll
take you with me and tell you my story of my attempt to free
myself from the quicksand, which only made me sink deeper with
every desperate movement until I was finally unable to shower or
take care of myself. I rushed from doctor to doctor in search of
help until I ended up losing myself and yet in my darkest hours, I
found my way to regain my health.
This book was written by me towards the end of my recovery
journey and was originally never supposed to be published, as it is
a personal reflection of the last two years and represents the
conclusion of my illness for me. I am neither a doctor nor a
scientist, my writings should not be seen as instructions or advice,
but tell of my personal healing story, which I decided to publish
because it can serve as inspiration for many sufferers.
