Lorna Martin's life is complete chaos. She is already thirty-five, but she still hasn’t decided what she wants and what she is striving for. In the last year, Lorna has completely gone off the rails: she is always late for everything, is completely confused in her relationship with her man, and is increasingly giving vent to tears and despair. A typical situation that is familiar to many modern women. After much thought, Lorna decides to go to a psychotherapist and try to learn to live in harmony with herself and her loved ones, and learn to enjoy every day. Lying on the therapist's couch, she begins to realize that all her life she has been suppressing her feelings, trying to seem and not be. A year of psychotherapy did not change her, but it opened her eyes to herself, to the people around her, to life situations. Lorna did not find happiness, but she learned to enjoy life. “Woman on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown” is the true story of a real woman, told with extreme openness, honesty and great humor. Lorna Martin's documentary novel raises questions that are relevant to most modern and quite prosperous women. Love, good work and material wealth do not guarantee happiness and harmony, which can only be achieved by understanding yourself and those around you, learning to see yourself without rose-colored glasses, mastering your feelings and ceasing to be afraid of negative emotions. This book is about the fact that psychotherapy is needed not only for the sick and desperate, but also for those who cannot understand themselves.
