It was a sunny day in November when I first held the book in my shaking hands. A congenial delivery truck driver wheeled boxes into the garage as my husband recorded the moment.
Separation Anxiety was due for release in Spring of 2015, but I couldn’t wait to celebrate with family and friends who had supported me all along the way.
Leaving home doesn’t happen overnight. For the author of this compelling memoir, moving beyond the safety of her family at the age of 24 triggers nights of insomnia, followed by days—and years—of mysterious, escalating dread. Anyone who has struggled with anxiety and depression will be consoled by the author’s fearless, vivid portrait of breakdown and recovery.
An honest and courageous memoir. The narrator’s voice sparkles with intelligence, with a sharply observant eye, and with a quirky, wry sense of humour. She charts the ties that bind, sometimes far too tightly, the bond of love between mother and daughter.
By turns penetrating and poignant, Separation Anxiety is a clear eyed, compelling examination of the challenges associated with living with a misunderstood mental disorder.
