Your Mind Made That Up — A Straight-Talking Guide for Anxious Minds
If you’ve ever felt trapped in your own thoughts…
overthinking every interaction, replaying conversations, feeling drained by social media, or stuck in a cycle of anxiety you can’t switch off — this book is for you.
Your Mind Made That Up is not another preachy self-help book. It’s a practical, honest, and refreshingly human guide designed for teenagers and their parents to understand what’s really happening inside the mind — and how to stop being controlled by it.
At the heart of the book is a simple but powerful idea:
Your mind lies to you — not to hurt you, but to protect you.
The problem is, those protective lies often keep you stuck in fear, intrusive thoughts, and constant self-doubt.
This book helps you recognise “the liar in your head” and take back control.
What This Book Helps With
Social anxiety and fear of judgment
Social-media-driven stress and comparison
Intrusive thoughts and overthinking
Low confidence and self-doubt
Emotional overwhelm and uncertainty
Through clear explanations, relatable examples, and easy-to-use tools, readers learn how the brain creates fear, why anxiety feels so real, and how to respond without spiralling.
What Readers Will Gain
A calmer relationship with their thoughts
Practical anxiety relief tools that actually work
Better sleep and deeper rest
More emotional balance and energy
Increased confidence in social situations
The ability to handle uncertainty without panic
This isn’t about “positive thinking” or pretending everything is fine. It’s about understanding how the mind works — so it stops running the show.
Who It’s For
Teenagers navigating anxiety, pressure, and identity
Parents who want to support without lecturing
Anyone overwhelmed by social media and constant mental noise
Your Mind Made That Up gives readers language for their inner experience — and the relief that comes from real understanding. Because when you learn how your mind really works…you stop believing everything it tells you.
And that’s where calm begins.
