About Robyn Wheeler

Robyn Wheeler After several years of chronic anger, depression and frustration, Robyn Wheeler was diagnosed with a low-grade chronic depression known as Dysthymia. Dysthymia is categorized as a mood disorder and often goes undiagnosed by those suffering from it as well as mental health professionals. Now on medication to help her deal with a mental disorder, Robyn has written a book about her journey, thoughts of suicide and her courage and determination to become “normal”.

Born Mad will shed light on chronic anger, how it festers to the point of wanting to do harm to yourself and others. Robyn will take you through her anger as a small child, her denial as an adult as well as the many technigues and therapies she tried in an attempt to rid herself of chronic anger, hate and anxiety.

About Born Mad

Born Mad Follow Robyn on her journey from fits of rage as an angry child, blunders and setbacks as an adult in deep denial, to her quest for awareness and enlightenment. Robyn takes you inside her deepest thoughts and fears, as well as her chronic anger and thoughts of suicide. After being diagnosed with a “bad state of mind” called dysthymia, Robyn wrote Born Mad to help others who may be unaware that they might be suffering from a low-grade chronic depression that will make l ife difficult, ruin relationships, and contribute to a negative and hopeless outlook on life. Born Mad includes symptoms of dysthymia and copies strategies, as well as the story of how Robyn came to believe in God, defeat chronic anger, and become the person she was meant to be. Read about her courage and determination to be happy and how her life has changed after having a “brain transplant.” If you or someone you know suffers from constant mood swings, angry thoughts, and extreme worry or anxiety, Born Mad might shed light on the reasons why and how to fight your way through to hope, peace and happiness.

Book Excerpt:

Denial is like an 11-foot brick wall standing between you and awareness. You can’t see over it. You can’t see around it. in order to expose the world on the other side the brick wall has to be knocked down. And only the person who constructed the brick wall can destroy it. My brick wall took over forty years to slowly and gradually erode and fall apart. Once the wall was in pieces lying on the floor, I was free to see the beautiful world on the other side—a world I’d never known existed. I understand why people don’t come out of denial. Denial is safe, familiar and comfortable, and it doesn’t require anything of you. At the exact time I realized my denial had lifted, I wished I had stayed in denial. The first glimpses of awareness and enlightenment were scary and intimidating, like a huge fl esh-eating monster had been set free to consume “the old me.” I felt like a small child, lost in the wilderness, asking, “What do I do now? What direction do I go? How do I get to the other side?” Emerging from denial was mentally and emotionally painful. It was awkward and frightening, and I felt out of control. At the same time, I knew I would never be in the state of denial again—it just wasn’t possible anymore—but I wanted to go back anyway.
