eBook

Available immediately
At first glance, Sophie's life seems almost perfect: she grows up free from financial worries and all doors are open to her. But being highly sensitive, she feels wrong and alien in her inner world even as a child and often locks herself in her room; as a young woman, she becomes quieter and more serious.
Sophie thinks she has to have everything under control, be strong and "perform" - until suddenly nothing works anymore. At the age of 28, Sophie Bagusat experiences a severe exhaustion depression with panic attacks that lasts for two years.
Sophie describes with brutal honesty how her life slipped away. This external compulsion to achieve everything, to be constantly happy, created unbearable pressure that she could no longer withstand.
Looking back, Sophie is very grateful for her diagnosis, because it was the beginning of a very exciting, difficult, but also necessary journey to herself. She succeeded in radically changing her life and belief systems and thus finding her current, happy path in life.
This book encourages us to examine our expectations of ourselves. It offers no advice, but many valuable experiences and impulses for a way out of difficult life situations.
