I loved the caricature-likesketches. The whole journey was captivating and relatable. As an artist myself,I know all too well about not feeling good enough, feeling pathetic, andfeeling worthless. I just can’t seem to get it right. We all have that little devilon our shoulder telling us we suck all the time.

Debbie captured it all perfectlyin this graphic memoir.

“Life is pointless. Everything Ido is pointless.”

 

We’re all hardest on ourourselves, that’s for sure.

“I don’t have it all together, butthat’s ok.” Just take each day as it comes. Good advice! Be thankful for thelittle things in life. Through Debbie’s therapy sessions, we pick up someuseful tips on coping with depression and anxiety.

Honest and thought-provoking. Areal winner!
