Young, talented, intelligent, and with a thriving social life, on the
surface Terri Cox had it all.
But deep down in her mind a storm was brewing, and a series of
life-changing events were about to unfold in quick succession that would
send her spiralling into a full mental breakdown.Over the next few weeks
and months, Terri was tormented by panic attacks, suicidal thoughts,
bouts of insomnia, crippling headaches, severe weight loss and horrific
side effects from antidepressants. Fearful of large crowds and ashamed
of admitting what was happening to her, she did her best to hide away
and shut herself off from society.Wracked with despair and suffering
from hallucinations, Terri was taken by her family to the local A&E.
When she was discharged, they desperately sought the help of a local
psychotherapist. Using a highly effective and innovative form of
psychotherapy, Terri was able to revisit the traumas of her past in
order to understand the workings of her mind in the present. Slowly but
surely, she was able to fight back and find that shiny, happy person
that she'd always been before.
