I Don't Want to Be Crazy by Samantha Schutz
5.0

The prose made this book FLY BY; I finished it in less than 24 hours. I just loved the writing style and the author's rawness and honesty about her anxiety attacks. I loved seeing this young woman come to grips with something that can effectively take away from one's way of life. This whole book felt like it was written from my perspective, even though i know that's not true - just MOST OF the things she described when experiencing an anxiety attack, or even with her relationships, are things that I know I have experienced and thought and felt. I loved how it showed the main character in therapy, even mentions that it is okay to dislike your therapist, and experiencing different medications - I know first hand through dealing with my depression that those are truly the only ways you can overcome and have a good quality of life. I just... I'm in love with this book and will most likely hang onto it forever and ever and ever.
