Overview

Suicide contracts, crippling panic attacks, dark depressions, and synapse-destroying workplace burnout-it's all in there. One woman's life journal posted for public consumption. CIVIL WARRIOR is a fretfully honest and sometimes frenetic retelling of Kristy Short's most affecting moments and how she fought her way back to life and living-more than once. Spanning three decades, CIVIL WARRIOR details Short's heart-rending spirals and lifelong battle with that little bitch she calls Anxiety, along with all the other ""parts"" that occupy her overactive brain-Depression, Shame, Fear, Loathing, Compassion, Kindness, Gratitude. Every last one of them. You'll move with her from the stone-cold bottom of the well to a place of light, gravity, and comfort. If you've ever retreated to a dark closet to rock and sob and beg for a moment of mental peace (or something like), it may feel like this book was written just for you. A weight-lifting assurance that you are not alone. It's storytelling at its finest-familiar, truthful, and without apology.
