It's Not OK to Feel Blue (and other lies) by Scarlett Curtis
4.0
As a mental health recoveree, I was initially inclined to award it the full ratings, in recognition of the contributors' efforts and sincerity in promoting mental health awareness.
However as I finished the book, I decided to take the cue from what it is advising. It's ok to not rate this as perfect. It's ok to talk not just about what I liked about it, as well as what did nor relate to.
Due to the unique experiences shared in each testimonial, some sharings tend to deviate into other themes involving other social causes which I'm largely ambivalent.
Nevertheless the unifying theme that runs through all these testimonials, is the importance of health relationships, health relationships with self, healthy relationships with others.
Healthiness is not perfection, it is not invincibility. Healthiness is a critical part of our humanity and identity. Let us treasure and celebrate it, every moment of our lives.
