Anxious with Jesus: A Memoir from the Messy Intersection of Faith and Mental Illness - Paperback

by Tiffany Ciccone (Author)

The intersection of mental illness and Christianity is a complex, confusing, and often isolating place to live. Back in 2007, when Generalized Anxiety Disorder hurled Tiffany into that crossroads, she got up, brushed off the dirt, and searched for someone to help her navigate her new reality. While her therapist and doctor were God-sends, they couldn't relate to the ways her disorder clouded her spirituality. They didn't have testimonies that could reassure her or give her hope. They hadn't endured the sting of stigma from friends at church. So, Tiffany ended up wandering through the chaos for over a decade, alone, with Jesus. He was enough, but it was hard. Now, eighteen years later, she's offering this book as a companion for anyone standing at that same intersection. Anxious with Jesus is an invitation to find fellowship in the struggle, guidance through the confusion, and communion in Christ-just as God intended.
