challenging emotional inspiring reflective sad slow-paced

Not to be read in one go. Take your time. Some of the pieces I related and connected with a lot more than others, but it was good to read in understanding how a variety of different people experience mental health.

This collection of inspiring peoples reflections on mental health was validating and reassuring. The selection of people is incredible. Some of the pieces reflected exactly how I sometimes feel with a level of clarity I did not realise was possible. The other pieces, which I did not relate to as closely, all taught me something about mental health that I didn’t know before. This book opened me up to the idea that there are common threads in mental health struggles and that there are also things that are beyond my direct experience.
