"When I was younger, maybe ten or eleven, I started to feel like I was different from everybody else . . . Then I was diagnosed with obsessive-compulsive disorder. And trichotillomania (that's pulling out your own hair). And then generalized anxiety disorder. And then panic disorder. Since then, I've been on a roller coaster, with plenty of ups and downs."-Sophie Riegel Part one of this book brings you along on Sophie's personal journey from despair to diagnosis and treatment, and what she experienced along the way. Part two of this book is about you, whether you're a teenager or someone who lives with or works with teens.

One Teen's Journey to Survive Anxiety and How You Can Too

Don't Tell Me to Relax!

Deborah Grayson Riegel

More than half of us who struggle with anxiety do not get treatment. Why? Because we often feel embarrassed to be suffering, concerned about the stigma of asking for help, or anticipate that things will never get better. For those of you who ruminate about the past, feel stressed in the present, and worry about the future, this book will help you challenge your thinking, create new strategies, and connect with others so that you can live the life you want--and deserve. Deborah Grayson Riegel and Sophie Riegel share their unique perspective and personal stories as a mother and daughter who both have multiple anxiety disorders--and who are both thriving personally and professionally. It is their goal to give anyone struggling with anxiety a new and more hopeful approach to work, school, and life.
