Many thanks to NetGalley, Simon and Schuster Gallery Books for gifting me a digital ARC of this non-fiction book by comedian Maria Bamford - 4.5 stars rounded up!
Maria has been dealing with a lot since childhood - OCD, eating disorders, debt issues, relationship issues, career issues. She has tried about every possible way to help herself, including many 12-step programs and psychiatric institution. She holds nothing back in this book and is brutally honest about her own struggles and the systemic troubles with the mental health crisis in this country - and all by being herself and hilarious.
Mental health issues are such a taboo in our conversations and thought processes, leaving those suffering with not only their issues but the attached stigma. Let's hope this book takes away some of that. We are all dealing with something and we need to be able to be kinder and more accepting of each other. This book is both hilarious and important - don't miss it!
