Feeling alone I’m depression? This book proves you’re not. Matt opens up about his depression experience in a way that is relatable. It is intense at times due to the honest, deep feelings that are felt before, throughout, and after the dark days.

Though I will highly recommend this book to everyone, especially those who suffer from depression, I would also add a trigger warning to the intense feelings that will be provoked. Especially if you are already in a fragile state. As soon as you feel emotionally supported enough, please read this. You will feel validated, seen, heard, and most importantly, you will feel more capable of being able to make it through your dark days.

I think this book is great for those who are new to mental illness or who perhaps need a little education on what their loved ones are going through.
As some who has had mental illness a long time I did not love this book. It was well written but I could not engage the way I might have a few years back. I hope it continues to support those who need it and I am glad it exists.
