Synopsis
'A brave and vulnerable book by a very, very funny woman.' - Joe Lycett
'A brilliant representation of anxiety made hilarious.' - Romesh Ranganathan
'Only Suzi Ruffell can take anxiety & make it funny. Relatable, hilarious & educational to boot.' - Aisling Bea
'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.'
