this was way too relatable for my taste and reminded me again and again that i REALLY need therapy.

i appreciated the psychiatrist's note, because there were moments, when their counselling irritated me - although i probably have to remember that i'm in a completely different country and therapy might just be different in germany.

my emotions are all over the place, i'm really happy i finally read it, and i'm thankful to my teacher for lending me the book.

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.
