Publisher's Synopsis
I've been fighting anxiety since I was a little kid, and I assumed it would always just be there, something that plagued me constantly, a bogeyman ready to jump out as soon as I lowered my guard. I'll be honest, it was exhausting. I knew it HAD to change. Approaching 40, with a family and a job I love, I decided now was the time to stop fighting anxiety, and learn to understand it. For the first time, I committed to therapy, unpacked my history and worked out how to make it, if not a friend, then a friendly companion, rather than an enemy. This book is inspired by what I found out on that journey. But don't worry! It's not like a depressing textbook! It's funny, honest, occasionally embarrassing, and, ok, sometimes sad, but, above all else, hopeful.'Does peaking in high school ruin you for life?Was Miley Cyrus right, is it all about the climb (when it comes to building a career?)And what - scientifically - is the best way to mend a broken heart?Comedian Suzi Ruffell is considering life's big questions.
