There is a kind of anxiety that doesn’t look like panic.
It looks like competence, responsibility, and being the strong one.

Holding It Together Is Exhausting is a reflective eBook for Black women whose anxiety hides behind productivity, emotional labor, and over-responsibility. It is written for women who function well on the outside while feeling tense, tired, or depleted on the inside.

This book explores the quiet cost of always being capable. It names how anxiety can live in vigilance, guilt around rest, and the pressure to keep everything together without complaint. It does not offer quick fixes or forced healing timelines.

Instead, it offers language, recognition, and space.

Written with honesty and care, this eBook invites you to slow down, notice what you’re carrying, and consider gentler ways of living. It includes reflective chapters and thoughtful prompts designed to help you pause without pressure.

You do not have to hold it together here.
