If you are struggling with depression, anxiety, or any other mental illness, or know someone who is, you are not alone. There is a way out. There is hope. There is life.This book is raw, unedited emotion written by Aaron when he was going through some of the hardest parts of his life. He has now released it to show those who are fighting the internal war personally that someone out there does understand exactly how confusing, disturbing, disruptive, messy the brutality of anxiety and depression are. How hopeless, and often hate-filled and lonely it all seems. If you struggle with depression, or know someone who does, you are encouraged to read this book to maybe, hopefully, get some better understanding and insight as Aaron shares his life through poetry, short stories, and auto-biography, so that you may better understand the underlying message: YOU ARE NOT ALONE.
