In 2010, at the age of 40, Kristina experienced a complete mental, physical, and emotional breakdown after experiencing anxiety and panic attacks from a young age. Far From Perfect details her life leading up to, and then the aftermath of, the breakdown and her painful climb out of the pit of anxiety and despair. Her story is riddled with normalcy, tragedy, and humor.

Over the past decade, Kristina has been on an expedition of discovery and healing by seeking answers to the questions "Why am I like this?", "What can I do differently?", and "Will I ever be rid of this horrible disorder?". Along the way, she realized that she is not "broken" and she doesn't need to be "fixed". She also determined that hiding her "dirty little secret" of dealing with anxiety and panic attacks only made them worse.

As much as she was anxious about sharing her story, Kristina knew that if it helped just one person know that they aren't alone, and that someone else does understand what they're going through, then she had to write this book. Included is a compilation of various methods and products Kristina has tried, as tools, to help manage, and alleviate, symptoms of the anxiety and panic disorders.
