I Don't Want to be Crazy

About this book

A harrowing remarkable poetry memoir about one girls struggle with anxiety disorder. This is a true story of growing up breaking down and coming to grips with a psychological disorder. When Samantha Schutz first left home for college she was excited by the possibilities -- freedom from parents freedom from a boyfriend who was reckless with her affections freedom from the person she was supposed to be. At first she reveled in the independence . . . but as pressures increased she began to suffer anxiety attacks that would leave her mentally shaken and physically incapacitated. Thus began a hard road of discovery and coping powerfully rendered in this poetry memoir.
