Anxiously Ever After: An Honest Memoir on Mental Illness, Strained Relationships, and Embracing the Struggle

Written by Nick Hunter

Narrated by Nick Hunter

How Are You Doing? No, Really . . .

In this poignant memoir that is both laugh-out-loud funny, and sniffle inducing, Clint Edwards explores his lifelong struggle with mental illness in the shadow of his father's battle with the opioid epidemic and his mother's undiagnosed mental illness.

From being diagnosed with obsessive compulsive disorder, to finding love, marriage, and having children, Clint explores what it means to find a healthy and balanced life with mental illness as your copilot. From the little hells of middle school and (frankly relatable) anxiety poops to running away from home at fourteen and dealing with the death of a loved one, to learning that truly basic life lesson: you are not your parents, Clint touches on the crux of living moment to moment, struggle to struggle-without losing your ever-loving mind.

Clint's candor, critical self-awareness, and refreshing sense of humor make for a one-of-a-kind listen that might just make you feel less alone.

Having lived through a divorce and mental illnesses with my parents, this really speaks to me. Thank you for being so raw.
