Publisher's summary
Have you ever thought that you might be experiencing the world a little differently than everyone else?
For those of us living with various types of mental illness, the moods and emotions we have may not align with how other people around us act. We might fly into a rage when seemingly unprovoked or cry at the drop of the hat.
It may feel strange, but what’s happening could actually be completely normal, depending on your mental illness and your experiences with trauma and triggers.
Have you ever wished you could have the emotions of "normal" people?
Whether people criticize you for being “too numb” or mock you for being “too sensitive”, you may find yourself in a whirlwind of emotions without knowing how you got there, why this is happening, and what to do to stop it from happening.
The good news is you are not alone. For those who have been diagnosed with:
Anxiety disorder
Bipolar disorder
Post-traumatic stress disorder
Depression disorder
Mood disorder
And other mental disorders
Understanding and maintaining your emotions may seem like a real challenge. This book is here to help. How do I know what emotions are real, and which are exacerbated by my mental illness?
All emotions are valid, and your triggers and trauma are real. I Don’t Know Why I Act Like This: How to Uncover the Relationship Between Your Mental Health and Your Emotions won’t take away the pain, or fix you until everything is fine. Instead, it’s intended to be a tool to use in cooperation with your regular therapy and medication regime to help you connect further with your own concerns and emotions.
You’ll learn the answers to questions such as:
Why do I experience emotions the way I do?
How are my emotions impacting my life?
Are there ways to control my emotional responses?
Am I trapped feeling this way forever?
Combining years of training, decades of personal experience, and exercises recommended by mental health professionals, I Don’t Know Why I Act Like This: How to Uncover the Relationship Between Your Mental Health and Your Emotions will help you tap into your inner resources to understand, appreciate, and connect with the feelings that can leave us feeling trapped in our mental health challenges.
This book will not solve all of your mental health problems and is not intended to take the place of any emotional, mental, or physical support you’re currently receiving.
Instead, I Don’t Know Why I Act Like This: How to Uncover the Relationship Between Your Mental Health and Your Emotions allows you the opportunity to walk through the often frightening and confusing landscape of your mind and your emotions to help you sort out what you’re feeling and why.
Join Carrie Vanderbilt as she shares this journey with you in I Don’t Know Why I Act Like This: How to Uncover the Relationship Between Your Mental Health and Your Emotions.

Chances are, you've already had run-ins with your Outer Child - the self-sabotaging, bungling, and impulsive part of your personality. This misguided, hidden nemesis blows your diet, overspends, and ruins your love life. Your Outer Child acts out and fulfills your legitimate childlike needs and wants in the wrong place, at the wrong time, and in counterproductive ways: It goes for immediate gratification and the quick fix in spite of your best-laid plans.

Some people bounce back in response to setbacks; others break. We often think that these responses are hardwired, but fortunately this is not the case. Stoicism offers us an alternative approach. Plumbing the wisdom of one of the most popular and successful schools of thought from ancient Rome, philosopher William B. Irvine teaches us to turn any challenge on its head. The Stoic Challenge, then, is the ultimate guide to improving your quality of life through tactics developed by ancient Stoics, from Marcus Aurelius and Seneca to Epictetus.

Story
If you ask a Finn, they will likely be as baffled as you are. That’s why Melanie Dower, an expat who has been living in Finland for the past decade, has taken up the charge. Her vantage as an outsider entrenched in Finnish culture uniquely positions her to identify the keys to Finnish happiness that elude the rest of the world and that Finns take for granted. From sauna to strong social safety nets, Finnish life is made up of a constellation of habits and structures that leave its residents relaxed, healthy, and fulfilled.

Although clinical research has been conducted on narcissism as a disorder, less is known about its effects on victims who are in toxic relationships with partners with Narcissistic Personality Disorder. Individuals with this disorder engage in chronic devaluation and manipulation of their partners, a psychological and emotional phenomenon known as "narcissistic abuse". Unfortunately, the full extent of what narcissistic abuse entails is not taught in any psychology class or diagnostic manual.

Good for those willing to do the work involved.
'I Don't Know Why I Act Like This' begins with an exploration of our emotions and how we can feel many of them all at once, bringing to mind Mary Tyler Moore attending the funeral of Chuckles the Clown. At first, she's solemn and respectful, but when the minister mentions other characters on the kiddie show (such as Mr. Fee-Fi-Fo, Billy Banana, and Aunt Yoo Hoo), a laugh bubbles forth. As the minister shares what Chuckles said whenever he'd fall down ("I hurt my foo-foo"), Mary starts to lose it. By the time he delivers Chuckles' trademark line ("A little song, a little dance, a little seltzer down your pants"), she's giggling uncontrollably. And yet, when the minister invites Mary to go ahead and laugh because Chuckles would've wanted her to, she breaks down into uncontrollable sobs. So goes our emotions. We can't help how we feel, but we need to learn to control how we deal with them.
Ms. Vanderbilt discusses methods to use in order to take charge of our emotional well-being, such as yoga, journaling, and exercises like gauging our feelings by assigning a color to each of our emotions. While keeping our minds and bodies busy might be practical advice for those trying to cope with moderate anxiety disorders, those suffering from severe depression often find it hard enough to get out of bed, much less to create the initiative to implement such therapeutic behavior.
My overall impression of this book is that it is a well-constructed and beautifully delivered guide for those seeking help for such mental health issues as high anxiety or low self-esteem, but not for those with more serious disorders. Still, for anyone willing to put forth the effort to read the book and implement its strategies, this can be a useful tool in the road to their recovery.
