Remember This When You're Sad: A book for mad, sad and glad days (*from someone who's right there)

by Maggy van Eijk

In therapy, whenever I’m talking about self-harm or suicide or sexual assault, I inject a dark joke in there somewhere. It’s more for my own protection than anyone else’s. I don’t want it to get too serious, I don’t want to think too much and I don’t want to feel sorry for myself. Ever.
