At first glance, Sophie's life seems almost perfect: she grows up free from material worries, and all doors are open to her. But, being highly sensitive, even as a child, she feels out of place and alien in her inner world, often retreating to her room. As a young woman, she becomes quieter and more serious.
Sophie believes she has to control everything, 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 honestly describes how her life spiraled out of control. The external pressure to achieve everything and to be constantly happy created an unbearable burden that she could no longer endure.
Looking back, Sophie is very grateful for her diagnosis, as 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, thus finding her current, happy path in life.
This book encourages us to examine our own expectations. It offers no advice but provides many valuable experiences and impulses for finding a way out of difficult life situations.
