My Mess Is a Bit of a Life: Adventures in Anxiety

Written by Georgia Pritchett

Narrated by Katherine Parkinson

Multi-award-winning television writer and producer Georgia Pritchett knows a thing or two about anxiety.

From worrying about the monsters under her bed as a child (Were they comfy enough?), to embracing womanhood (One way of knowing you have crossed from girlhood to womanhood is that men stop furtively masturbating at you from bushes and start shouting things at you from cars. It's a beautiful moment) to being offered free gifts after an award ceremony (It was an excruciating experience. Mortifying) worry has accompanied her at every turn.

This memoir is a joyful reflection on just how to live - and sometimes even thrive (sometimes not) - with anxiety.

Reviews for My Mess Is a Bit of a Life

[Boglárka · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

This book was an emotional roller-coaster; sometimes funny, sometimes sad. I was so sorry for her because she hadn't had support from her parents and she didn't learn how to be her own helper.

Absolutely brilliant. Hilarious and heartbreaking. Awesome and inspiring.
