Smile of Depression...: 'Learning to savor the strawberries and flush the shit!' - Paperback
Description
by Gail F. Woods (Author)
Author Gail Woods lived 38+ years under the guise of a smile mask. Her revealing memoir, Smile of Depression... brings to life the author's truth-revealing journey of searching first to understand and then to begin the process of healing from her undiagnosed clinical depression.
A sensitive child, born to stoic parents, with an unknown genetic disposition for depression, creates a story that crescendos into a powerful perfect storm. Especially in a medical world that does not yet understand this disease.
Smiling depression may read like an oxymoron, but now doctors recognize it as very real. That mask becomes a part of you, a shield used to survive.
A pathway toward emotional mindfulness is possible. Anyone who has pretended to be someone they are NOT should open the front cover and begin reading. Join the author on her journey to healing....
