Give Me Space but Don't Go Far: My Unlikely Friendship with Anxiety

內容簡介

內容簡介 給我點空間，但不要離太遠喔擁抱焦慮，找回自在的自己！你是否曾覺得焦慮如影隨形？插畫家Haley Weaver (@haleydrewthis) 透過這本溫馨、幽默的插畫回憶錄，分享了她與焦慮難以解釋的牽絆。小時候，焦慮就一直陪伴著 Haley。就像許多人一樣，Haley 認為那些不斷出現的「萬一」與「最壞情況」讓她無法獲得幸福。也許她可以把焦慮丟在心理諮商師的辦公室，或是把它送去遙遠的地方旅行 – 任何能擺脫它的方法都行。但隨著時間的推移，她逐漸理解焦慮真正的用意：保護她免於遭受危險。不過，她可以讓焦慮發揮功能，同時擺脫擔憂和恐懼嗎？這本全彩插畫的回憶錄，以 Haley 和焦慮 (化身為人形) 為主角，展現了他們複雜、卻最終令人振奮的關係。書中也介紹了 Haley 為了緩解心理健康問題所依賴的的應對機制。- 迷惑者 (The Distractor)：戴著亮紅色圍巾，鼓勵 Haley 滑手機逃避不舒服的感覺。- 撒謊者 (The Liar) ：教導 Haley 「善意」的謊言技巧，讓她在中學午餐時生存。- 派對狂 (The Partier)：讓 Haley 大學時擁有豐富的社交生活，同時也把她送進了急診室。從描述青少年時期，第一次沒有大人的生日派對，到成年後令人不知所措的生活轉變，《給我點空間，但不要離太遠喔》生動描繪了 Haley 生命中的關鍵時刻，並揭示了她所學到的教訓：透過關懷、練習和有效的策略，我們可以與焦慮共存 – 甚至可能愛上它。A tender, funny, illustrated memoir about anxiety and self-acceptance from the artist behind @haleydrewthisAnxiety has been glued to Haley Weaver’s side since she was a child. Like most people, Weaver saw the constant what-ifs and worst-case scenarios that Anxiety whispered in her ear as an obstacle to her happiness. Maybe she could dump her anxiety at her therapist’s office, or send it on a trip far, far away—anything to get rid of it for good. But over time she realized anxiety’s true intention: to keep her safe. Could she learn to let it do its job but also figure out how to live without constant worry and fear?This full-color, illustrated memoirstars Haley and Anxiety (as themselves) and showcases their complicated but ultimately uplifting relationship. It also introduces readers to the helpful (and not-so-helpful) coping mechanisms Haley relies on to soften the edges of her mental health issues. There’s the Distractor, who wears a bright red boa and encourages Haley to avoid uncomfortable feelings by scrolling the Internet, the Liar, who teaches Haley the pillars of a good fib in order to survive at the middle school lunch table, and even the Partier, who gives Haley a social life in college but also lands her in the ER. From detailing her first unsupervised birthday party as a preteen to exploring the overwhelming life transitions as an adult, Give Me Space but Don’t Go Far brings to life the pivotal moments of Haley’s life and illuminates the lesson she’s learned: With care, practice, and sound strategies, we can learn to coexist with our anxiety—and maybe even love it.
