One Little Pill
After spending over 40 years of my life living with chronic anger, anxiety and frustration, I finally sought help. I tried many different methods to relief my symptoms such as anger management, emotional freedom technigue and meditation as well as two years of counseling but they all failed or didn't yield the results I was seeking. I knew my options were running out. Nothing allieviated the festering maddness, rage and judgement that dragged me to a place I didn't want to be and didn't know how to get out of. It was time to admit defeat and ask for psychiatric help. In Born Mad, you'll read about my diagnosis of Dysthymic Disorder and how I never knew one little pill could make it all go away. One little pill gave me a "brain transplant". One little pill improved my quality of life, saved my marriage and made it possible for me to forgive and let go of past resentments. I now look forward to a brand new "me", a brand new life. One little pill changed everything!
