Publisher Description
How Are You Doing? No, Really ...
In this poignant memoir that is both laugh-out-loud funny, and sniffle inducing, Clint Edwards explores his lifelong struggle with mental illness in the shadow of his father’s battle with the opioid epidemic and his mother’s undiagnosed mental illness.
From being diagnosed with obsessive compulsive disorder, to finding love, marriage, and having children, Clint explores what it means to find a healthy and balanced life with mental illness as your co-pilot. From the little hells of middle school and (frankly relatable) anxiety poops to running away from home at 14 and dealing with the death of a loved one, to learning that truly basic life lesson: you are not your parents, Clint touches on the crux of living moment to moment, struggle to struggle—without losing your ever-loving mind.
Clint’s candor, critical self-awareness, and refreshing sense of humor make for a one-of-a-kind read that might just make you feel less alone.

We’re not alone. It brought peace to me to know others feel, think, and react as I do. Thank you! Must read for anxiety suffers.
Such a great book
Clint Edwards captures the real struggles of someone who suffers with OCD. He takes you on a journey of the tragic childhood he endured and finds closure as he grows up and learns how powerful forgiveness and acceptance can steer your life in the right direction. As a long time fan of his relatable topics on parenthood, I couldn’t wait to read this book and it did not disappoint!
