About the Book

Are you going through mental health issues? Or is someone close to you dealing with mental illnesses? Or maybe you are just interested in this subject and want to understand a bit more about it?

If you answered YES to any of the above, this book containing a collection of poems about mental health will be a must-read for you.

You can trust me. I've been struggling with mental illnesses for a bit over 15 years. I've gone through all the slight ups and the downs and the very low downs. Dealing with obsessive-compulsive disorder, anxiety disorders, traumatic experiences and depression has been very difficult and extremely painful. I came to the point of feeling terribly lonely and deeply sad because I felt like no one around me understood how I was feeling or the urgency of it all. This only made my condition much worse...

In the middle of all the darkness, I started writing these poems that expressed what I was thinking or feeling in a very honest and raw way at times.

To be honest, I'm still in the middle of it all, of that huge and powerful and tremendously painful storm that makes you feel like you're going to die at any minute out of sheer panic, pain and/or exhaustion.

At the beginning, I really wanted those poems to remain hidden out of shame, embarrassment and fear. But through therapy, I realized that mental illnesses are nothing to be ashamed of. They are as valid as any physical illness. Another person helped me see how these poems could help others going through mental health issues.

So I decided to publish this book for you, to try to help you feel seen, understood and validated. I also hope that it contributes to normalizing and destigmatizing mental illnesses.

This book is for YOU:

  • you, the one who feels an extreme amount of emotional pain
  • you, the one with a difficult and traumatic life story that just keeps haunting you and making you suffer
  • the one who feels so awful, like it's all too much and you just can't do life anymore
  • the one who feels like no one around you understands what you're going through
  • the one who feels like everything is a burden, a mountain to climb, even something as basic as chewing your food
  • the one who struggles to take showers, to brush your teeth, to get out of your pajamas, to eat and drink water
  • the one who can't manage to get much or any work at all done
  • the one who has intrusive thoughts or images that make you feel like you're going crazy, that increase your anxiety levels to the max and make you want to run away screaming and hitting your head
  • the one with frequent anxiety attacks that make you feel like you're effectively going to die and/or go crazy
  • the one who gets anxious about feeling anxious
  • the one who's scared of looking back at the past years because of how bad you've felt
  • the one who's scared of going crazy or losing control
  • the one who is constantly one inch away from crying
  • the one who feels trapped, like there's no way out, like you're drowning, suffocating and slowly but steadily withering, being erased from the face of the earth
Get a glimpse of what it feels like and HELP SAVE LIVES.
