Mindfire: Diary of an Anxious Twentysomething (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798888459584)

When your mind is on fire, how do you extinguish the flame?

Here's one thing college doesn't teach you: Adulting is hard. Studies show that millennials and Gen Z-ers are two of the most anxious generations in history--approximately 50 percent of adults ages eighteen to twenty-four suffer from anxiety. Mindfire takes readers along on the emotional journey that is growing up, and offers insight on the anxiety that comes with it.

Written by twenty-two-year-old journalist and influencer Carrie Berk, this book is a raw and vulnerable exploration into the parts of being in your twenties that aren't always pretty. Berk, who was diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder and OCD at eighteen, shares intimate diary entries that unveil what it's like learning to cope in her adulting era. What do you do when panic strikes unexpectedly? Or when you're plagued with intrusive thoughts on vacation? How about when you lose someone for the first time? Anxiety can make you question your core beliefs and leave you more confused than ever. Berk shows how there is hope, happiness, and strength to be found in forging your path forward.

Mindfire is a road map for anyone who has ever struggled with mental health--and felt alone. Packed with real-life therapy definitions and self-care suggestions, Mindfire shows how you can level up and learn to love yourself--anxiety and all.
