Beskrivelse
Dakota Jade wasn't planning on writing a book, but when she began to review her journals of her fight with PTSD she wanted to share her story with others. Dakota was abused as a child and at the age of thirty three she was hit with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. The results were crippling.
Like a hamster on a wheel, the painful flashbacks and distorted thoughts raced through her mind. Referencing her pain to the speed of her hamster became Dakota's way of gauging and explaining her pain. Together with PTSD, Dakota also suffered from severe anxiety, adjustment disorder and depression.
Dakota's story will be a help to supporters of people who battle with mental illness and give insight on what dealing with mental illness means on a day to day basis. Although everyone's battle is unique, Dakota Jade's emotional story of her fight to survive gives valuable insight into life with post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety and depression.
From hospitalization to suicidal thoughts and self-harm, Taming the Hamster is a record of Dakota's fight to survive PTSD.
