There are multiple references to grooming of young boys by older men. There is one chapter which specifically discusses obsessive-compulsive behaviour with very detailed descriptions of the reasons and effects on her.

What a unique look into the mind of one of the most influential lesbian artists I know of! I found many of Bechdel's experiences profoundly relatable, and I actually teared up a few times. Essential reading for the sapphics with daddy issues out there (I see you <3)

Minor: Body shaming, Outing, Cursing, Drug use, and Schizophrenia/Psychosis

This is the Lesbian Daddy Issues book, so if that kind of thing is triggery, this isn't the book for you. There are also illustrations of (sometimes naked) dead bodies, and (thankfully unrelated) illustrations of sex. This isn't a book to read in public, probably.
