Escaping Nothing: Breaking the Clutches of Anxiety to Have a Life of Everything (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780692973455)

Escaping Nothing: Breaking The Clutches Of Anxiety To Have A Life Of Everything by Erica Rose Goldsmith is a memoir and self-help book in one. There are three parts to this story. The first is the telling of Erica's personal experience and life lessons obtained from having severe anxiety and panic disorder. The second section covers 20 different self-help techniques to help the reader understand anxiety, and how these tools can begin to disarm the clutches that this illness imposes on us. Each technique is broken down into what it is, why it works, how to do it, variations of each one, as well as how to build it into your daily routine. The last section covers Erica's life now after using these tools for almost a year and how her life has drastically changed. Having had anxiety for her entire life she knows all to well how this illness can easily take over your whole life. Now in her 30's and being much more aware and knowledgable of this mental illness, her goal is to help as many others with anxiety, or even a similar illness like depression or chronic pain, to seek happiness. She wishes to help anyone of any age who has any level of anxiety seek comfort in knowing that they aren't alone in how they feel on a daily basis because of this mental disorder. She also hopes to open the conversation amongst people about this mental disorder that so often gets brushed under the rug. To give attention to anxiety and have a discussion brought forth is her goal, along with helping those who are just discovering their diagnosis, or those who have had it their whole lives, to find some help navigating through this tricky illness. Erica's book is also appropriate and helpful for those who do not have anxiety in hopes that it can help them understand what it is like to have anxiety, and therefore maybe helping them show support and caring to whomever they may know that is suffering from it. It is Erica's goal to help as many people as possible to, "Have a life of everything," simply by sharing her story.
