Calm After the Storm

Generalized anxiety disorder is not the same as being a worrier. It is a sustained state — the body braced for something that may not come, the mind that will not settle, the exhaustion of being alert to everything. The people in this collection understand the distinction, and they write from it clearly.

Inside this volume

Fifty first-person accounts describe what generalized anxiety disorder felt like day to day — and what the search for relief looked like: therapy, medication, mindfulness approaches, and the sometimes-long process of finding a combination that allowed rest. The accounts are frank about setbacks and about what it means to manage rather than cure.

Who it's for

For those living with anxiety, the partners who share the cost of it, and anyone trying to understand from the outside a condition that is invisible from there.
