This collection of essays about mental illness is sometimes reassuring in that what you might be experiencing is more common than you might think. But it also might trigger you into a panic because some situations are so similar to your own. It's enlightening in the way one shines a torch into a closet containing corpses. This is the real pandemic: the mass trauma of a capitalist slave culture obsessed with flaunting progress and status at the expense of our own humanity. I'm grateful for the apocalypse: the great revealing of what we tried to ignore. Take all the time you need, because you've given up enough already.
