Book Synopsis Depression Saved My Life by : Brian Michael Joyce
Download or read book Depression Saved My Life written by Brian Michael Joyce and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2008-06-04 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 17.5 million Americans suffer from clinical depression. Each year, more than 132,000 people will consider suicide as a way out of depression and over 30,000 of them will succeed. The author became a statistic of the first two categories and was miraculously saved from the third. Ironically, he was reborn to a new reality through the intervention of a terminally ill friend as he wrote his school-aged son a desperate suicide letter. Consequently, the note changed course and became this book. The author describes his decent and climb from depression to his son in heartbreaking detail, from his childhood in the tough streets of Philadelphia to his battle with cancer, the deaths of his sister, mother and two best friends, all in a relatively short period of time. What makes this book unique are the strategically intertwined positive lessons that were learned while facing these tragic, life-altering events. These lessons, appropriately named "Life Lessons", are heartfelt loving messages from a father to his son illustrating what the author believes to be the truths of life and what is truly important to him today.
Book Synopsis Will Ferrell Saved My Life (...and God Helped) by : B.L. Iyver
Download or read book Will Ferrell Saved My Life (...and God Helped) written by B.L. Iyver and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2021-07-21 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When living becomes harder than dying, what option is there to end the suffering other than suicide? For men who are both proud and ashamed, we do not ask for help and often simply do not want it. But there is no question we need it. The afflictions from which we suffer leave us exhausted and defeated, barely hanging on to manage keeping our jobs, sustaining a marriage, or hoping to raise children without doing more damage than good. Anxiety and depression are brutal punishers that come and go without invitation, and our quest to control and defeat them can take us to the brink of sanity just as much as the afflictions themselves already do. Thoughts that are irrational appear rational, and options that are terrible can appear to be acceptable. “Perhaps if I was no longer here, I could end my suffering and finally rest. I could end the suffering of those around me and no longer be a burden that neither they nor I will ever overcome.” Suicide. Why are so many choosing it? As COVID-19 ravages the emotional health of millions of people around the globe, the isolation and disruption are pushing those of us suffering from anxiety and depression even closer to the edge, if not completely over it. But death is not the answer, and suicide is not the only choice. Through my story, I hope to help you, the reader, find relatability and claw your way to a point of resolve that will allow you to take steps toward saving yourself. For the sake of yourself and those you love, preserving your life can be done. Please don’t give up. Whether you are currently a Christian or not, it does not matter. You can be saved.
Book Synopsis I Fired My Doctors and Saved My Life by : Sam Sewell
Download or read book I Fired My Doctors and Saved My Life written by Sam Sewell and published by Sam Sewell. This book was released on 2008-08 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sam Sewell thought about making the title of his book "Buy this book for your man and save his life". Not only do many men have little interest in their own health, they will actively avoid other people, usually the women in their lives, any time they attempt to call attention to the obvious. Sometimes men accuse the women who love them of nagging. Sewell was that way. His wife and daughters pointed out that his lifestyle was like committing suicide on an installment plan. He embraced the "alpha male" attitude: "If I hurt, I will just tough it out and conquer the problem with determination and power." His new "self" doesn't pretend to be Superman. Radical life style change saved his life. The research that has gone into this book includes scientific studies supporting the conclusion that changing how you live will cure you and protect you better than drugs or surgery. So, Sewell doesn't really expect men to buy this book. He urges women to save men's lives and give them this book.
Download or read book Yoga Saved My Life written by Sasha Bates and published by Hachette UK. This book was released on 2022-06-09 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why do you feel so much better after a yoga class? What is it that takes yoga beyond being merely a way to physically exercise the body, and instead renders it a tool for effectuating deep and lasting emotional change? In Yoga Saved My Life psychotherapist and yoga teacher Sasha Bates demystifies both yoga and psychotherapy, exploring the links between them and showing how each can be transformational. This sits alongside personal stories from members of the Fierce Calm yoga community - people who have experienced all manner of difficulties, whether due to neglect, addiction, abuse, anxiety, depression, stress or any of the other myriad ways in which we all struggle with modern life. Here they tell their stories of finding yoga, and thereby discovering a path through the beliefs and behaviours that had been holding them back and keeping them miserable. If you've ever wondered why you feel so much better after a yoga class, then the explanations of how any why yoga works will enlighten you. Written using down to earth language and in a warm conversational tone, you will come to see how yoga is doing what psychotherapy does: providing a safe, containing, reflective space in which you can access your unconscious, develop self-awareness and find ways to relate to yourself better. This new relationship with your self offers new ways to work with the automatic habits you do without thinking, but which hold you back, practically and emotionally. 'Yoga Saved My Life shows us gently and persuasively that healing the mind is as important as healing the body, and yoga is a great way of doing this' - Vex King, author of Good Vibes, Good Life and Healing is the New High
Download or read book Checking In written by Michelle Williams and published by Thomas Nelson. This book was released on 2021-05-25 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “I need help.” Those three words saved Grammy Award–winning singer Michelle Williams’s life. After decades of sweeping her anxiety and depression under the rug—even during her years in the spotlight with Destiny’s Child—Michelle found herself planning her own funeral. Realizing that she needed immediate help and could no longer battle her anxiety and depression alone, she checked herself into a treatment facility. When she came home, she was energized and determined to check in on a regular basis with herself, God, and others. Practical, engaging, and full of wisdom, Checking In helps us understand that building walls around our vulnerability can hinder our healing; we need to reject the lies of anxiety and depression and replace them with the truth of God’s Word; joy can be found when we release toxic thought patterns; childhood wounds need to be healed; freedom can be found when we forgive ourselves and others; and a beautiful life comes from living honestly. An uplifting, behind-the-scenes look at one woman's path to healing, Checking In reminds you that you are not alone, and that God is not yet finished writing your story.

Have you attempted to get it to work, but been unsuccessful? Have you been successful with it, but feel like you should be able to do more with it? Even if you have never heard of the Law of Attraction, I believe that I have found a vital strategy in making this Universal Law work for me, instead of me working hard to make it work at all. Inside this book, you will also find the story of my life, and how the Law of Attraction affected it through every year, through every problem, and through every event. In this book, you will find real life events that coincide with the Law of Attraction and how the Law affected every outcome of it. My desire is to pass on what I have learned so far, so that you may learn how to make this Universal Law work for you as well, or at least gain a better understanding on how the Law affects your life. I struggled through half of my life thinking that what was in front of me was all that existed. I spent half of my life believing that the past had everything to do with what my future held and what I could accomplish in it. I spent half of my life living in total and complete fear! Then I discovered that both the past and the future are nothing more than a story that we make up in our minds. Yes, life is definitely a journey, and I would like to invite you to join me in taking a look at mine so far. Who knows, it may just change your perception.

Book Synopsis Dear Anxiety. This Is My Life: A Real Life Recovery Story by : John Crawford
Download or read book Dear Anxiety. This Is My Life: A Real Life Recovery Story written by John Crawford and published by John Crawford. This book was released on 2016-11-07 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When John’s frantic search for spiritual accomplishment delivered way more than he expected, things suddenly got extremely weird! A reality-shattering event propelled John, an ordinary twenty-two-year-old Londoner, into a terrifying world where the very fabric of reality itself could not be trusted. This sounds like fiction. It is not. Dear Anxiety is a first-hand account of John’s extraordinary journey of recovery from an existential crisis so profound that it left most therapists clueless about where to even begin. After many years of fruitless attempts to resolve the debilitating anxiety and depression which followed, John finally met a gifted therapist who was willing and able to go with him to the complex depths of healing necessary for recovery, and he shares that journey with us in sometimes unsettling detail. The book touches on matters both spiritual and clinical but deliberately leaves any conclusions about the crisis undecided. Was it a clinical psychosis? Or was it, in fact, a spiritual and transformational process? John presents the details of his experience, offers his thoughts, and leaves it up to the reader to decide. Dear Anxiety is a deep and fascinating biography, but it is a "warts and all" account of a sustained period of severe struggle with poor mental health which may not be suitable for particularly fragile or anxious readers. The intention though was to write a story of hope for those who have lost theirs. In demonstrating how dark anxiety and depression can be, it was necessary to share the gory details. As a result, it cannot be called a "light" read, but many have found comfort in knowing that ultimately, recovery is possible from even the darkest of places. Now, twenty-five years on, John Crawford is happy and well. He went on to become a successful full-time professional therapist from 2003-2018. He now writes full time and has published five self-help books, three of which have been Amazon UK bestsellers. Get Dear Anxiety today for an introduction to the work of a true “anxiety insider”.
Book Synopsis Homeostasis: The Journey of a Manic-Depressive by : Donald Rodriguez
Download or read book Homeostasis: The Journey of a Manic-Depressive written by Donald Rodriguez and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2016-12-22 with total page 95 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Donald Rodriguez takes readers on a roller-coaster ride as he shares what it means to live with Bipolar 1 Disorder. When manic episodes began to creep into his life, he put his family through hell and risked his own life in the process. Meanwhile, he loaded up on the toughest classes he could take as a premed student at Boston University, joined a fraternity, played for the club hockey team, and took on more than he could handle. His family physician prescribed him Adderall to focus and Trazodone to sleep. Rodriguez also started taking Prozac because his doctor thought he had situational depression because his grandma had died, his longtime girlfriend had dumped him, and his college coursework was stressing him out. Injuries had also forced him to stop playing hockey. In short order, he was abusing prescription drugs and scaring the people that loved him most. When he was finally diagnosed with Bipolar 1, he had to ease his life into a place of balance.
Download or read book Depression written by Ann Cvetkovich and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2012-11-05 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Depression: A Public Feeling, Ann Cvetkovich combines memoir and critical essay in search of ways of writing about depression as a cultural and political phenomenon that offer alternatives to medical models. She describes her own experience of the professional pressures, creative anxiety, and political hopelessness that led to intellectual blockage while she was finishing her dissertation and writing her first book. Building on the insights of the memoir, in the critical essay she considers the idea that feeling bad constitutes the lived experience of neoliberal capitalism. Cvetkovich draws on an unusual archive, including accounts of early Christian acedia and spiritual despair, texts connecting the histories of slavery and colonialism with their violent present-day legacies, and utopian spaces created from lesbian feminist practices of crafting. She herself seeks to craft a queer cultural analysis that accounts for depression as a historical category, a felt experience, and a point of entry into discussions about theory, contemporary culture, and everyday life. Depression: A Public Feeling suggests that utopian visions can reside in daily habits and practices, such as writing and yoga, and it highlights the centrality of somatic and felt experience to political activism and social transformation.

Book Synopsis How To Beat Depression with the Bible by : Taylor Johnson
Download or read book How To Beat Depression with the Bible written by Taylor Johnson and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2023-01-21 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Depression has only one goal: to kill you. Be it by the means of a swift and intentional act or by a long, drawn-out process of slowly taking your life with alcohol and drug abuse, it only wants you dead. Those who fight depression with a bottle of gin or a needle in the arm are losing the fight. They're currently killing themselves slowly, just like depression wants them to. Every antidepressant has a possible side effect of making your depression worse. Is that winning the fight or giving depression the upper hand? Depression wants us to cheat on our lives by forcing us to have an affair with death. The purpose of this book is to help you learn how to love your life more than the idea of death. For someone with depression, death seems like a sweet release, the only way to end the pain. Trust me on this: it's not, especially if you die without knowing Jesus. A life of perpetual agony, despair, rejection, and suffering can't even compare to the first minute of an eternity in Hell separated from God. Depression doesn't care who you are--it wants to kill you. It's time that we finally beat depression and love our lives more than death. In this book, you'll find three things. The first is a clear explanation of the biblical Gospel so that you can learn how to be saved and how to know with certainty that you're saved. The second thing you will find within is my personal story on battling depression, anxiety, suicidal contemplations, a night terror disorder, and severe insomnia. Finally, you will also find nine Bible-based steps in this book that will teach you How To Beat Depression With The Bible.
