Here, in \u003ci\u003eOwning It\u003c\/i\u003e, she chronicles her journey from the kind of all-consuming fear where leaving the house for milk was too petrifying a prospect, and holding down a high-octane Editor job was no longer possible, to spending every day crying under her duvet, wondering how the hell she was going to pull herself through. But then she did; she owned it. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor those facing the same struggle, Caroline explores exactly what anxiety is, its triggers and the various treatments. From CBT, acupuncture, diet and the often debated role of medication - she examines with honesty, humor and a bullsh*t free perspective what worked for her and gives us a no-frills account of anxiety from the front line.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e'The hardest lesson and most important I learned was that embracing your anxiety is the key to recovering from it and living a life where it doesn't define you. Don't get me wrong; I still have shitty, stressful days at work, or days when I feel a little below par (one time I was particularly exhausted, ratty and hormonal and I cried because my boyfriend ate my last chicken nugget. I'm 28, I know) - but that, dear friend, is the human experience. What I have now, however, is confidence in myself to pull through whatever life throws at me, thanks to the invisible arsenal of effective tools I keep tucked under my arm.'\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hachette Ireland","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47046517162224,"sku":"9781473657601","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781473657601_p0.jpg?v=1763602627","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781473657601","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
