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 😹👏🏽

Sadly, nothing about this book sticks out. I was waiting for something bigger, since this book had so many 5 star reviews. The therapy sessions feel similar to what I had (just a little different topics), but I don't think anyone else would really get anything out of my sessions.
I liked the essays in the end of the book, and the way the book was writen as a conversation. Just everything else about it was meeh.

Mä olisin kovasti halunnut tykätä tästä...
Valitettavasti kirjasta ei jää mitään käteen. Odotin jotain parempaa ja suurempaa, koska kirjalla on niin monta 5 tähden arvostelua. Terapiaistunnot tuntuvat samanlaisilta kuin minulla oli (vain vähän eri aiheet), mutta en usko, että kukaan muu saisi mitään irti istunnoistani.
Pidin kirjan lopussa olevista esseistä ja tavasta jolla kirja kirjoitettiin keskusteluna. Kaikki muu kirjassa oli vain meeh.
