Checking In: How Getting Real about Depression Saved My Life—and Can Save Yours

"I need help."

Those three words saved Grammy Award–winning singer Michelle Williams's life. After decades of sweeping her anxiety and depression under the rug--even during her years in the spotlight with Destiny's Child--Michelle found herself planning her own funeral. Realizing that she needed immediate help and could no longer battle her anxiety and depression alone, she checked herself into a treatment facility. When she came home, she was energized and determined to check in on a regular basis with herself, God, and others.

 Practical, engaging, and full of wisdom, Checking In will give you the tools you need to:

• Tear down the walls around your vulnerability that are hindering your healing

• Trade toxic thought patterns for lasting joy
• Find freedom by forgiving yourself and others

An uplifting, behind-the-scenes look at one woman's path to healing, Checking In reminds you that you're not alone and that God is not yet finished writing your story.
