First, We Make the Beast Beautiful: A New Story About Anxiety by Sarah Wilson

5 reviews

marianajosefa's review against another edition

medium-paced

really bad. fatphobic (also advices leaving sugar bc that causes anxiety). privileged. “just do it” “just put in the work” (basically you deserve your situation). 
also the random advice of leaving anti depressants? you are not a professional and it’s dangerous to suggest such thing. anti medication messages. fuck no. 
also using a holocaust survivor memoir and use it to make your point about anxiety? doesn’t feel good.
