My Journey from Stress to Strength is a true, deeply personal story of a woman who learned to survive, heal, and grow when life tested her beyond limits.
Written by Shrijo (pen name of Sivasakthi), this book shares an honest journey through stress, depression, motherhood, caregiving, and inner strength. Raised without her parents, facing poverty early in life, and later becoming a mother to two sons - one of whom lives with Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome - the author opens her heart without filters.
This is not a medical guide or a motivational lecture.
It is a real story, lived day by day.
The book speaks about:
Chronic stress and depression
Caregiver burnout and emotional exhaustion
Postpartum depression and financial struggles
Faith, routine, and small habits that helped healing
Seeking medical support without shame
Finding purpose through writing and content creation
With simplicity and honesty, Shrijo reminds readers that strength does not always look loud or confident. Sometimes, it looks like showing up every day, even when you are tired and afraid.
This book is for:
Mothers and caregivers
Women silently fighting depression
Anyone overwhelmed by life
Readers searching for hope without false promises
If you are looking for a book that listens to you instead of preaching to you, this story will stay with you long after the last page.
