I Used To Be Mental: Why I'm no longer worried about anxiety, scared of fear or controlled by obsessions

By Mr Ian Stewart

A deeply raw, honest and darkly humorous memoir about living with anxiety, intrusive thoughts, and the relentless pursuit of self-acceptance.

In I Used to Be Mental, Ian takes readers on an uncensored and thought-provoking journey through his battle with obsessive thinking, fear, and the overwhelming need for control - only to discover hope, joy and peace lay inside the same person he tried so desperately not to be.

With sharp wit and a determination to be free, he explores the complexities of the human mind, expectations of society, and the uncertainty between who we really are and who we think we should be.

This memoir is not just another book about overcoming anxiety, desperation and hopelessness. This is about the life of an ordinary man, eager to stay alive but inadequate by his own standards. This is about the pursuit of freedom and the dark side of living with honour, resilience and strength.

Perhaps you are someone who is not living as the person they want to be. Maybe you believe life could be better for you, that it has something more to offer. It could be that you simply want a moments peace from the incessant chatter that pinballs around your head. If you are one of those people, there's a story and a lesson in here for you. For anyone who finds it hard to give up control, feels lost or trapped inside their own mind, or limited because of their thoughts - this book is a must-read. Ian has written precisely what he needed to read, and that's the reason you are sure to find some common ground.
