I can't say that this was particularly an enjoyable read for me. While I felt very much seen, and represented, like I mentioned it was somewhat triggering for me. Sehee isn't incredibly likable but she is incredibly raw. She doesn't hold back from being an unlikable narrator, her thoughts are not always good and filled with a desire to do better. Sometimes mental health is ugly. Healing is ugly. The way to being better is ugly.
I believe that this is a great book for those who want a deeply personal look at mental health, mental health in women, and the road to improving (whatever that looks like).
Please read the tws though before reading!

The whole of this book discusses severe mental health issues. Avoid if that’s a trigger for you.ruthhelizabeth's review against another edition

Some favourite lines: "I want to march and hold hands with those who feel similarly to me", "I have trouble both accepting my own darkness and throwing myself into the light"

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.

Defo recommend to anyone struggling with mental health issues or you have a mental illness or if you just want to find out more about mental health and what it is like living with certain illnesses.
Haven’t read a memoir in a long time but glad I managed to finish this!
Also, the title of this book is perfect 😹👏🏽
