CIVIL WARRIOR: THE RAW, GRITTY TRUTH ABOUT ANXIETY, DEPRESSION, AND WORKPLACE BURNOUT
Suicide contracts, crippling panic attacks, dark depressions, and synapse-destroying workplace burnout—it's all in there. One woman's life journal posted for public consumption.

CIVIL WARRIOR™ is a fretfully honest and sometimes frenetic retelling of Kristy Short's most affecting moments and how she fought her way back to life and living—more than once.

Spanning three decades, CIVIL WARRIOR details Short's heart-rending spirals and lifelong battle with that little bitch she calls Anxiety, along with all the other "parts" that occupy her overactive brain—Depression, Shame, Fear, Loathing, Compassion, Kindness, Gratitude. Every last one of them.

You'll move with her from the stone-cold bottom of the well to a place of light, gravity, and comfort. If you've ever retreated to a dark closet to rock and sob and beg for a moment of mental peace (or something like), it may feel like this book was written just for you. A weight-lifting assurance that you are not alone. It's storytelling at its finest—familiar, truthful, and without apology.

About the Author

Kristy Short, EdD has spent her life writing. She's published four young adult books and has worked as a writer across disciplines for more than 30 years. This is her first memoir/self-help(ish) book—the culmination of a lifetime battling anxiety, depression, and most recently, workplace burnout. She is passionate about fostering awareness of mental health and self-care—even if she has to kick a few snickering bathroom-bitch asses along the way.
