Anna has always been so level-headed, so easy-going, so talented and funny. How could anyone have guessed she wanted to die? Anna is not like other people. For one thing, she s been an accomplished artist since she was a preschooler. For another, she s always felt like she didn t belong: not with other kids, not with her family, not in her body. It isn t until her grandparents are killed in a tragic accident, however, that Anna starts to feel untethered. She begins to wonder what it would be like if she didn t exist, and the thought of escaping the aimless drifting is the only thing that brings her comfort. When Anna overdoses on prescription painkillers, doctors realize she has been suffering from depression and start looking for a way to help her out of the desperate black hole she never thought she would escape. It s then that rock bottom comes into sight and the journey back to normal begins."

"There‘s a game my fellow Muses & I like to play from time to time. We call it “Guess the Muse” and it involves guessing which one of our brilliant reviewers has written a certain review. Yes, we are that predictable at times. I‘ve been known to gravitate towards books involving young people facing issues of all kinds. for this review, I‘m staying true to form."

#TBR?

I've had MDD (major depressive disorder) most of my life. I won't divulge my life story, but I've had my fair share, and It never gets "better", you get used to dealing with it.

Ive since partnered with DBSA as an ambassador to share my story and spread awareness for depression.?

becausetrains Thank you for sharing, @cookiejanester ❤️ I hope your days keep getting a little brighter and easier - you always have empathetic ears here on Litsy 😌 8y
Jana "It never gets better, you just get used to dealing with it." YES. THIS. 8y
RiotMom Thank you. I'm going through a major depressive episode and I can't express how much it helps to know I'm not the only one dealing with dumb brain chemistry. ❤️ I'm always here if you want to vent. 8y

bookishkai @RiotMom @cookiejanester *raises hand* I'm also here if anyone ever wants/needs support. Dumb brain chemistry is the absolute worst; I lived most of my childhood until I was 35 before finally understanding that the "weird" things my brain told me weren't just more reasons why I was strange, but were actually clinical depression with a side helping of anxiety. So yeah, I get it. 8y
