Then I did think, I wonder what my mom and dad will think. Certainly, people who have known me all my life don't know eighty percent of what's in the book, so I was concerned. Zibby: Do you feel any better or worse now that it's out there in the world and people are actually reading it?

To suddenly write something very personal and direct was kind of horrifying and scary. I've spent so many years as a scriptwriter putting words in other people's mouths. I ended up writing down all my experiences of feeling anxious and all the stuff that's happened and how I've coped, often badly, with it. Then I just thought, well, I don't know what else to do, so I'll start. I thought, yeah, I'm definitely not going to do that. Then when it came to trying to tell someone how I was feeling when I was in crisis, I just couldn't find the words. It's interesting, isn't it? Words are my thing. That is another way of saying socially awkward and emotionally repressed.

Georgia: That's exactly how it happened, yes. Is that how it happened? That is how it happened? Then of course, you loop it all together at the end because you're so good at telling a story. I know in the book, you have this - I don't know if it was fictious or not - this encounter with a therapist where you decide to write your feelings down because you had trouble talking about them. As a fellow anxiety sufferer, I could not wait to pick this book up and see what your adventures were like. Georgia Pritchett: Thank you so much for inviting me. Thank you so much for coming on "Moms Don't Have Time to Read Books" to discuss My Mess Is a Bit of a Life: Adventures in Anxiety. Zibby also asks Georgia about her time writing for the hit HBO show Succession, which is one of Zibby's favorites. Georgia shares how the book stemmed from advice from a therapist who recommended she write everything that had happened to her when she found herself unable to share verbally, what life is like raising two neuroatypical children (as well as how it has impacted her mental health), and why she's only now beginning to show herself more kindness for what she went through. Screenwriter Georgia Pritchett joins Zibby to talk about her debut memoir, My Mess Is a Bit of a Life, which takes readers through her experience dealing with lifelong anxiety and a number of crises that have arisen along the way.
