I truly wish they get better or live better in another life, I hope for a better world. However, even through all that, I find it great that I was able listen to this story.

It also made me fearful of the world, like, the mistreatment in facilities and the mental health world. I want to help people, help people that are like me. The purpose I decided for myself, I want to be a teacher or counselor. There is so much information to take in and it made me remember my purpose. I didn’t read the description but I found this book to be amazing. At first, I chose this book because I wanted to know how to manage my own suicidal thoughts. I’ve never cut myself but I still deal with issues. Though I have never attempted suicide, I have had suicidal thoughts. Hello, my name is Keira, and I am 16 years old. I have been dealing with depression and anxiety for a whole section of my life, you might not take me seriously because of my age. At once heartrending and humorous, outraging and serious, this is a must-listen for anyone touched by depression - and that's everyone.

Nevertheless, she spiraled out, attempted suicide (the first of more attempts to follow), and landed in the ICU and then in a psych ward before setting out to tackle her recovery.
In her early 20s, investigative journalist Anna Mehler Paperny had already landed her dream job. An engrossing memoir-meets-investigative-report that takes a fresh, frank look at how we treat depression.
