Since this is a memoir I decided to not give it a rating but write down my thoughts. This book was not for me. I was expecting longer chapters about the author‘s every day experiences with anxiety, but instead I read several 1 to 3 page stories about her life. In most of them I couldn’t find indications of the author being anxious or worried. There was a lot written about her children, her partner, and her job as a writer in an industry that was and still largely is misogynistic. We read about her failures and how as a comedy writer no one thought her jokes were funny. But in the end she has multiple awards which I wouldn’t have expected after all her self deprecation. Then you are suddenly hit with her talking about how she doesn’t want to live anymore, which - again - was something I didn’t expect after every little story she told, none of which contained any mention of how her mental health was. In the end, I was expecting a lighthearted but serious memoir about living and managing anxiety in everyday life. Instead I read about an unfunny writer, her job experiences with people that someone outside the UK won’t know, her two children, and how she gets nosebleeds every time she is stressed.
i cannot believe a single person has experienced all of this
