Musings of a Defeated Mind

For most of my 50 years I have battled anxiety and depression. This past year I reached a low point I never thought possible. This book is really a collection of situations and stories describing how my mental illness grew and developed from childhood to midlife. If you are looking for a moral to the story or a happy ending to each chapter you will be disappointed. Also, each event described will echo my thoughts and feeling at the time of the event. I do not necessarily feel that way presently or expect to in the future...then again I may. I seem to be a work in progress.
What this will give you is a look into a troubled mind, exposing it as it is. Some may relate with what they read, some will be surprised, some will be angry and some will be dismissive.
That is up to you the reader. Hopefully, getting a glimpse at my mind will provide some context when you feel similar or a friend just does not seem themselves lately.
