When We're Awake At Night is a collection of poems designed to take you through a mental health journey. This book is an honest depiction of mental health struggles. Themes of this book include: depression, anxiety, panic attacks, love, heartbreak, insomnia, self love and acceptance, broken friendships and families and much more. It touches on all of the different ways we overcome our struggles, deal with the negative stigma of our mental health, and try to find ourselves in the end. We all get a bit lost when we're awake at night, kept up by all of the darkness. But why be scared and give into the darkness when you can learn from it and grow. Who are you when you're awake at night?

Отрывок из книги
As this is a discussion about mental health, some of these poems could be a bit unsettling or upsetting. It is not my intention to send anyone down a negative path, quite the opposite. A clear reading of the whole book will show that. Many people experience these situations, feelings, and life events that end up being suppressed. My goal is only to show my journey. These emotions are real, these emotions are valid.
Additionally. a disorder sort of synonymous with depressive disorder is clinical anxiety. Anxiety disorders are the most common mental illnesses, affecting over 40 million Americans each year. 9.9 million adults have reported having a panic attack in the last year.
