First, We Make the Beast Beautiful: A New Journey Through Anxiety by Sarah Wilson
3.0
I have very mixed feelings about this. There is a LOT of fat phobia and diet culture littered throughout this book. Strays worryingly into zones I would consider disordered eating…
Also the author and I experience the same mental illness in ways that are in such complete opposition that it’s almost comical.
That said, I did glean a lot of interesting information from this book. Reassuring of framing things that are a constant struggle, acknowledgement of things I thought only I had issues with, and some helpful practices to add to my roster of coping mechanisms.
More than one thing can be true at once
