The therapist probably meant a light, mid-week grocery-list's worth of worries. Instead, Georgia wrote this book. From fretting about the monsters under her bed as a child (Were they comfy enough?) to agonizing about making too much of a fuss during childbirth ("Sorry to interrupt, but the baby is coming out of my body," I said politely) to being offered free gifts after an award ceremony (It was an excruciating experience. Mortifying), worry has accompanied her at every turn. With the levity of a package of potato chips and a healthy dose of self-deprecation, Georgia Pritchett guides readers from her anxiety-ridden early childhood, where disaster was around every corner (When I was little I used to think that sheep were clouds that had fallen to earth. On cloudy days I used to worry that I would be squashed by a sheep), through the challenges of breaking into a male-dominated TV writing industry, as well as the inevitable ups and downs of raising children. Honest, brave, and joyful, My Mess Is a Bit of a Life is a necessary reflection on how to live - and sometimes even thrive - with anxiety"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Pritchett, Georgia. 650 0 $a Women television writers $z Great Britain $v Anecdotes. 650 0 $a Television writers $z Great Britain $v Anecdotes. 650 0 $a Anxiety $x Patients $v Anecdotes. 655 7 $a Autobiographies. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Anecdotes. $2 lcgft 941 $a 20 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20231012013558.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010024324.0 952 $l KAPF566 $d 20230331014424.0 952 $l ZUPD675 $d 20230329011654.0 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20230214010323.0 952 $l FWPE284 $d 20221004012813.0 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20220804024534.0 952 $l FYPI314 $d 20220720010122.0 952 $l KJPF566 $d 20220527011036.0 952 $l FPPC224 $d 20220507011721.0 952 $l TIPA162 $d 20220506010844.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20220414010456.0 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20220412014713.0 952 $l CBPF522 $d 20220406010936.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20220401030425.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20220302013028.0 952 $l YTPG232 $d 20220302011907.0 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20220302010735.0 952 $l CYPF706 $d 20220302010122.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20220217010939.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=72B283BA8FBF11ECBA4AA6A62FECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
