“My anxiety remains an unhealed would that, at times, holds me back and fills me with shame—but it may also be, at the same time, a source of strength and a bestower of blessings.”
Scott Stossel, My Age of Anxiety
My Age of Anxiety is an entertaining yet informative trip through the history of GAD and panic disorder.

bailedI‘m going to close this one. It‘s an amazing collection of history, theory, memoir, and discussion about anxiety, but it‘s stressing me out. I don‘t think I can be objective enough about something I suffer from.
I‘m not sure about this one. It‘s kind of interesting? But it‘s also kind of stressful to read, and a lot of information is not new to me, both because of my own experiences and those of people I‘ve worked with. I may bail.
I️ always struggle with if I️ should read books about anxiety and/or depression because they always seem to make my symptoms worse. But I️ also learn so much from reading about the experience of others that I️ don‘t want to NOT read the books, you know? Cats help though.
pickAn excellent read, filled with fascinating facts and personal experiences. Stossel writes with candour and bravery about his decades-long struggles with anxiety. The only less-interesting part is when he talks about the various drugs and how they act on the brain: all the drugs and neurotransmitters start sounding the same after a while. Still, well worth reading.
The perils of researching a book about anxiety when you yourself have anxiety.
Really?! 😮
Hunkering down with this book, which I'd borrowed before but not got around to reading. Very interesting and brave of the author to share some deeply embarrassing moments. #24in48
so-soMy Age of Anxiety is dense and difficult to get through because it is so thorough in the information conveyed about anxiety.

Now I know what a "deckle edge" is! What I learn on Litsy! #BlameitonLitsy
A text-only cover from my library stockpile. Must read this soon! #booktober
I mean, that's pretty sensible. Especially in the 1880s
pickMy college roommate wrote this book, it's fantastic. And I lived with him for 6 years and had no idea how messed up he is :)
