A brave vulnerable memoir of some of her time in therapy. An eye-opening look into the author's life and therapy sessions, delving into issues that so many of us, more than we often realize, struggle with.

I was really excited about this book. I got it as a birthday gift and started it immediately. It was very slow, but I gave it time, I thought it would pick up after a few chapters. Sadly, it did not. I think it's a great book for people who have just now began thinking about their mental health and behaviour, but as someone who went through the revelations she describes in the book years ago, it was a bit tiring to read. It felt like reading my journal from 5 years ago, but without the insight of what was happening in my life at the time. However, it is full of super annotatable quotes and the translation is superb, so great job there. I don't regret reading this, but if I was given the chance, I probably would have picked a different book to get as a present.

tbh i was high key disappointed once i realized about 85% of the book is written via transcripts of the author's therapy sessions. i can understand why she recorded them and also how this writing style can help other people to see how therapy works or to, somehow, understand better the author's growth. personally, it took me a while to get used to it, but i really wanted to read the book, so i gradually got over it.
i couldn't fully relate to some of the author's problems, but i have tons of quotes highlighted or annotated with stuff like “she's so me”, lmao. some advices given by the psychiatrist really made me reflect or think about my own life, but one must keep in mind that this book doesn't really provide an answer to depression, instead it's just a portrayal of how anxiety and depression can affect someone. 

ps: i can get why so many people disliked the book, but i admire the author for sharing this with the world, even though she probably knew people would judge her, think she's annoying or whatever. this proves how much she has grown and how much her mental health improved, and i can't help but feeling proud of her. <3
