Description
Anxiously Ever After by Clint Edwards
How Are You Doing? No, Really ...
In this poignant memoir that is both laugh-out-loud funny and sniffle-inducing, Clint Edwards explores his lifelong struggle with mental illness in the shadow of his father's battle with the opioid epidemic and his mother's undiagnosed mental illness.
From being diagnosed with obsessive-compulsive disorder to finding love, marriage, and having children, Clint explores what it means to find a healthy and balanced life with mental illness as your co-pilot. From the little hells of middle school and (frankly relatable) anxiety poops to running away from home at 14 and dealing with the death of a loved one, to learning that truly basic life lesson: you are not your parents. Clint touches on the crux of living moment to moment, struggle to struggleโwithout losing your ever-loving mind.
Clint's candour, critical self-awareness, and refreshing sense of humour make for a one-of-a-kind read that might just make you feel less alone.
