    About this ebook

    If you appreciate poetry, you will be encouraged by this collection of poems. It is an excellent resource for finding hope in the midst of suffering from a mental disorder (anxiety), supported by Scripture.

    About the Author: Katie Ruth was diagnosed with Anxiety Disorder in 2005. She spent years searching for support groups that would bring together her interest in mental health support and her faith as a Christian.

    Katie found great encouragements from the Bible. During her early years of living with anxiety, Katie found release in writing poetry that reflected her developing faith and her progress through God. She writes, “I hope this book may be an encouragement for anyone suffering with anxiety. I hope the poems bring a glimpse of the comfort, direction, and pure love that God has for us.” Now able to face the world head-on, these poems trace her route of recovery, eventually enabling her to live a life of normality. Katie lives in Portsmouth, England.

    This volume is broken down into the stages of Katie's journey. Each stage has a number of poems which address her journey through that stage. The stages are:
    Nature
    Struggles
    Pure Love
    Perserverance
    Celebration

    So, if you’ve ever suffered from, or are currently suffering from anxiety attacks, then download this book, because its message will speak to you and help lead you through the stages from hopelessness, through perseverance to hope thereby improving your mental health.
    If you know someone who has, or is, suffering from anxiety attacks, then download a copy and send this book to them for the same reasons.

    Katie Ruth has spoken to mental health sufferers all over the United Kingdom and has also done a number of engagements in the USA. To book Katie Ruth, contact her at katie@nderson.info

    In her mother’s own words: "The gift of writing enabled her to track a route of hope on the journey to recovery."
    Here you will find a disarming charm and sincerity that allows grace to take you unawares. the truth is simple - God is very close and He loves us. His love is what our hearts need to be healed. Katie's poems remind us of these most essential truths and they make us smile....because suddenly we know - this is true and she has lived it.

      Dedication

      To my family and friends,

      You carried me when I was weak

      Encouraged me when I was low,

      And enlightened me when I was lost

      Thank you so much.

      I will forever feel your arms around my heart.

      In 2005 after completing a degree in English Literature at Sussex University, I moved back to my family home and began work as a teaching assistant in a local school.  The transition from a very busy town like Brighton back to a quiet village in Surrey was going to mean changes, but I could never have expected or anticipated how much my life was about to change. 

      I was always a relaxed, confident, happy girl, with very little to complain of.

      In the autumn of 2005, I fainted one day on the floor of my family’s kitchen.  My mother said that she caught me and that I did not bang my head when I fell, but I woke up with about two years’ memory loss. 

      I had to be reintroduced to my boyfriend’s family, even though I had just returned from spending a lovely holiday with them in France.

      I am very grateful to the doctors who helped me.  But my very confusing situation was frightening for
