My Mess Is a Bit of a Life: Adventures in Anxiety

Product Information

Through musings, vignettes, observations and recollections, Georgia takes the reader on a journey that is impossible to put down.

Her writing and production credits include Veep, Have I Got News for You, Smack the Pony, Miranda, The Thick of It and many more.to embracing womanhood (One way of knowing you have crossed from girlhood to womanhood is that men stop furtively masturbating at you from bushes and start shouting things at you from cars) to becoming a mother (Birth is a beautiful thing, if your idea of beauty is a tractor pulling a combine harvester out of your vagina), Georgia Pritchett’s memoir takes us through a life lived anxiously. At times, she made me laugh out loud, and I especially enjoyed her account of parenting her sons and her efforts to deal with anxiety.

Even if you don’t share the exact same concerns or level of anxiety as Georgia, it’s likely you’ll find some relatability in her story.

I also learned, that while teeth things in books are triggering for me, someone anxious talking about their teeth problems and scary situation only heightened that feeling, so if you have anxiety around some of the main topics of the stories, they might be harder to take.
