What a rollercoaster it's been to get here!
Putting this book out into the world has left me feeling far more vulnerable than any of my personal essays has to date. I'm trying to prepare myself for negative reviews. But I sincerely hope that those who read it find it insightful or even relatable if they also struggle with anxiety.
And I know I am not alone. My essay, "When Anxiety Makes You Feel Like You Are in Danger Every Day of Your Life," ran on The Mighty last week and received hundreds of shares on Facebook and thousands of hearts on The Mighty, it was also picked up by Yahoo! Lifestyle. The piece now has over 8,000 social media reactions, in total!
Also this week, Reality Moms syndicated my holiday piece from last year.
Truthfully, I haven't thought much about the holidays yet this year, but I am grateful for the timing of my book being released before the season is in full swing!
