Anxiety, I'm Not Your Bitch

by Tabitha Sampson

In these modern times, it is next to impossible to traverse an entire human life and not be touched by anxiety. To deny this is so un-human it actually raises concern. Listing out what induces anxiety is useless. A more effective corroboration would be a question. Have you ever struggled with anxiety? Modern life has become increasingly more complicated with no sign of slowing down. Sometimes it can feel like an anxiety triggering machine to which burnout is inevitable if not met with something to counteract it. According to the Anxiety and Depression Association of America, 63% of adults who suffer from anxiety DO NOT get treatment. Although heartbreaking, this stat makes sense. Treatment for anxiety has been misunderstood and commonly seen as being embarrassing, time-consuming, confusing, and expensive. Somewhat true because when priorities and responsibilities get weighed out, society’s habit is to pressure us to shove our emotions under a rug and get back to work.

4.5 for this book. The high mark is for Tabitha Sampson's clear descriptions of anxiety and panic attacks, and the resources she uses to try to help the reader sort out the 'whys' and 'what can be dones'. The one thing I felt detracted from her book was (ironically) her cheerleading style, which after a while felt kind of canned. But that could just be ME. If you experience anxiety and its challenges this is a good book to have in your tool box for self help. The author clearly gets it.
