About this audiobook
Warning: This book is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any of your problems.
In actuality, this book expresses all of the problems I've encountered in my life since I was a child.
Hi, my name is Yousef Saleh Erakat a.k.a. Fousey. I am a YouTuber, actor, wannabe motivational speaker, artist, and a depressive with over 15 million total YouTube subscribers, a couple of Hollywood movies on my resume, some big awards on my shelf, and for the first time, I will be opening up about how I survived my struggles with depression, anxiety, fame, suicidal thoughts, and addiction. Welcome to my life.
