Me Finally: Understanding Anxiety and Panic Karla Yazzolino

This is a sequel Memoir to my first book, If Seen My Journey Living With Anxiety. In Me Finally I show the reader why life could feel joyless while struggling with anxiety. I bring up my encounters with my family and past that led to living a joyless life. I show the growth I made through therapy and critical thinking. I explain how I began to accept myself for who I was. It is important that the reader understand how family dysfunction plays a role in the continuation of anxiety. This is book is in three parts. Joyless, Joyful, and Understanding. With Joyless I explore with the reader why I became a person who lived without joy. I explore the angst within my family and the sexual abuse I suffered from. In Joyful I show how I came to understand my own sense of self and also how I improved it. I show how important it is to accept life as it was given to you. Within the book there are what I call Minuets. Situations that happened to me throughout my life that I felt fed the angst for me. I also show minuets that show why I should keep close the life events that created joy for me and not lose track, that amongst all the bad, there is always good. I sum up my book in Understanding, where I recount what I have learned. I have two prose writings here that show the reader in a more cryptic way how I developed who I am today. Thoughtful and provoking. Step in time with me and see how a different perspective, and learning about self can dramatically change your happiness.
