On Edge by Andrea Petersen
First line: Fear ambushes me.
Summary: Part personal experience. Part research study. This book delves into what it is like to have an anxiety disorder and how to understand them. Millions of people in this country suffer from anxiety. There are many new techniques and treatments being developed in order to help the people struggling with this disorder.
Highlights: I really enjoyed reading about her personal stories dealing with anxiety. When I am feeling anxious, it seems like no one else can seem to understand. Knowing that there are so many other people out there that are feeling the same way is comforting. I have considered trying the mindfulness training and yoga as another way to help with my anxiety but have yet to start either.
Lowlights: I did get a little lost in the technical babble at times and all the acronyms. I wanted more of her personal success stories as a guide to help myself.
FYI: Slow reading but very informative.
Being able to work around books is a dream! I read anything but my favorite genres are historical fiction and YA. Give me anything set in Tudor England or teenage fantasy novel and I am set.
