The Recovering Farmer: A Journey through the Labyrinth of Anxiety and Depression
Gerry Friesen, AKA The Recovering Farmer, chronicles his journey through anxiety, depression, and addiction to a place of improved mental health—and even, sometimes, happiness.

Mental health, or lack thereof, has become a major topic in agricultural communities around the world. There is still a strong stigma attached to conversations around mental health, and an attitude that to admit you need help is a shameful thing. This book aims to challenge those attitudes. It explores the aspects of Gerry's life as a farmer that contributed to his mental health, both positive and negative, and contains concrete tools for others to maintain and build their mental wellness.

Surprisingly upbeat and admirably honest, The Recovering Farmer is a memoir, but it is also a powerful recovery tool for those struggling with mental health. It reminds us that it's okay not to be okay, and that there is no shame in reaching out for help.

About the Author

Gerry Friesen, AKA The Recovering Farmer, was a farmer for twenty-three years. During that time, he was diagnosed with anxiety and depression. He stepped back from agriculture to become a conflict and stress management specialist. He comes from a diverse background of experience, learning and discovery. Gerry’s passion is in helping others find solutions for the various issues that life throws at us. A combination of his own journey with anxiety and depression, training in conflict resolution and intensive counseling training provide him the tools to help others who are struggling.

Gerry and his wife live in La Salle, Manitoba. They are parents to three kids and are now enjoying life with six grandkids.
