Description

Surviving the War Against Yourself is a heart-wrenching true story about one couple's struggle with mental illness and its devastating impact on their life. When Tom, suffering from psychosis, becomes convinced that he can see things that aren't there, his partner Amber must intervene to prevent a tragic outcome. After months of trying to reason with the voices in his head and intervening in Tom's suicide attempts, Amber calls the crisis team for help. This is a well-rehearsed routine, but it's exhausting. The couple's journey through mental illness raises difficult questions about fear, pain, love, and hope. In this brutally honest account, Tom shares what it was like to suffer from mental illness, while Amber opens up about her life as his carer. This book offers a unique insight into the challenges faced by those living with mental illness and their loved ones.
