The Underlying Cause of Nervous Breakdowns


Life can offer us many challenges having to do with loss. When we are faced with relationship loss, financial loss, loss of health, loss of limb, loss of regard, or loss of love, we can feel overwhelmingly anxious, depressed and stressed.

I love a good story and I know I?m not alone. The evil villain, the adventurer or the sheer power of words captivate us and leave us wanting more. We join bookclubs to share our thoughts on the stories we?ve read. Great stories aren?t just in books and movies. We?re writing machines! Many of us self-publish our stories daily.
