Mental illnesses are not to be trifled with. Anke Vuge also had to learn this the hard way. After years of stress and several strokes of fate, she suddenly hears voices that make her everyday life more difficult. In addition to a psychosis with delusions, she almost suffocates in the wake of depression, which makes it impossible for her to leave bed. But in her book, Anke Vuge describes how she drew strength from this and fought her way back to health. She encourages readers never to give up on themselves, but always to believe in themselves and in recovery. She discusses important tips for boosting self-esteem, recognizing warning signs from the body, mind and soul earlier, and seeking appropriate help.
