Escape

Everyone thinks you're fine. That's the problem.

You get up. You go to work. You answer "I'm good" to every text. You hold everyone else together.

And then you sit in your car before walking inside, and you don't move for ten minutes.

Nobody checks on the strong ones.

Felicia Braziel wrote this book because she lived it - the tragedy, the heartbreak, the seasons where getting through the day felt like too much, and the years of carrying pain on the inside while still moving on the outside.

She also learned something that changed everything: surviving a situation is not the same as healing from it.

Three words people use wrong every day

Mental help is the call for rescue.

Mental health is the daily care.

Mental healing is the rebuilding of your soul.

Most people chase one while desperately needing another, and then wonder why nothing gets better. Escape shows you which one you actually need right now.
