High Functioning Mess
by Nivani Bhimsan
What does it look like when you seem to have it all together — the job, the family, the social media highlight reel — but underneath, you are quietly, privately, falling apart?
High Functioning Mess is a raw, honest and deeply personal book about the gap between our curated lives and our inner reality. It explores the exhausting performance of "fine", the courage it takes to admit we're not okay, and the unexpected freedom that lives on the other side of telling the truth.
Part memoir, part manifesto, this book is for every woman who has ever smiled through the pain, achieved through the fear, and kept going because stopping felt like failure.
Available in Kindle format on Amazon.
If you've read the book, Nivani would love to hear from you.
"You can be completely capable and completely overwhelmed at the same time. You can be succeeding on the outside and drowning on the inside. You can be a high functioning mess — and you can be okay."— Nivani Bhimsan, High Functioning Mess
