This book was created out of a need to share my personal experience of living with depression and anxiety. Its aim is to show that fear—despite its intensity—is an important part of emotional development and can be tamed through understanding and acceptance. In an accessible, at times humorous form, I encourage readers to face their emotions and to seek support through conversation and professional help. I want to emphasize that experiencing fear is not a reason for shame. Even a fierce lion or a small ant is sometimes afraid.
