Girl, Ain't Sh!t Wrong with You: The discussion around gaslighting and the highly anxious woman Kindle Edition

Toya opens the door to her world, inviting readers to journey alongside her through the tangled web of anxiety and self discovery. With each chapter, she shares the real-life circumstances and challenges that have shaped her experience, revealing how she learns to navigate the storm of being overwhelmed in a world where “Girl, Ain’t Sh!t wrong with you” was always a staple phrase. It’s a coming-of-age tale about how it was existing in a world where only extreme cases of mental illness were considered discussion worthy or even received acknowledgement. In her own words: “Girl, Ain’t Shit wrong with You” was a phrase I heard often growing up used to minimize issues that our family, friends and other members of the community weren’t prepared to address. It was typically reserved for situations where obvious signs of distress weren't noticeable. As a term of survival, it allowed the focus to be placed on other more blatant necessities. The memoir refers to numerous times in my life that I found myself at a loss dealing with overwhelming anxiety (often alone) and how those mismanaged moments shaped me as a person. It goes on to explain how I was able to identify and bring into play several healthy solutions that allowed me to feel empowered and validated during moments of high stress." Read more
