This heartfelt memoir records Alan Sowersby's recovery from the OCD and anxiety issues that have plagued his life. He didn't plan to be a writer. It just happened; sparked from the writing of a poem. Just five simple verses written to convey his feelings of desperation. Words that opened the floodgates and started a therapeutic journey that would help him come to terms with his illness.Breaking My Silence will inspire you, inform you and perhaps even make you shed a few tears as Alan, brutally honest throughout, talks so openly and candidly about his challenges.It is a book that enabled him to celebrate his neurodiversity; to help him make peace with the man that he discovered hiding behind the mask.
