help! i don't want to exist: an essay on learning to be a human being | 
pickI've had to sit with this book a little while before reviewing it as it's so intensely personal, but as Carl Rogers said, “What is most personal is most universal," so there was also much that struck chord for me. Perhaps this has something to do with my own autistic process and occasional bouts of depression (though, thankfully, the latter have been less frequent and less intense for a number of years).
The term "brutally honest" is overused, ⬇️
Bookwomble ... but here I am using it again. help I don't want to exist is raw, a confessional, an unburdening (I hope), and (I hope even more) a therapeutic catharsis. Hope does glimmer through the lived and existential trauma. Thank you, Charlotte. (edited) 4w

Bookwomble @The_Book_Ninja Thanks Jay Tee 🫂 I actually read this a couple of months back, and while it goes to dark places and has CWs, I found it triggered empathy and cherishing rather than depression 😌 4w
