Summary
Forget Lexington!
I dug a deep hole in the back of my mind to place a shoe box of all the bullying memories that happened to me growing up in Lexington, Massachusetts. By making this hole and burying these memories, I hoped to forget what had happened to me and move forward with my life. I covered the hole with a lid and spray-painted the words ANXIETY, DEPRESSION, and DO NOT OPEN!
But memories don't just go away....
This true and inspirational story of Alan Eisenberg's life offers a raw and honest portrait of a bullying survivor and takes you on a journey that, in the end, leads to recovery and solutions to help heal from the trauma of the long-term effects of bullying. The issue of the long-term effects that bullying has on people is brought to life through Alan's story and how he tried to suppress the childhood trauma brought on by bullying, but finally had to confront it when anxiety, self-esteem issues, and finally depression set in. In his quest to find answers to what happened in his early life, Alan shares his discoveries of what complex post-traumatic stress disorder (C-PTSD) is and how to recognize its symptoms. Alan also shares how he learned to make peace with the past in order to move forward and not let it haunt him any longer.
