I've never really read anything to do w mental health not from a more personal/informal perspective, and I feel like it is brutally honest and sincere, if you struggle w mental health you might see yourself in it and if you are w someone who does it's enlightening. It's like a mum and son biography type thing and it goes through each part of their lives and forced me to put yourself in their shoes and I'm realising how often I do sort of signal that idgaf too often.
Like we talk about mental health and wellness and kindness and these are all noble and important ideals but they're all viewed thru a microscopic lense here.

Anyways I'm rambling, it's really an honest, clear, real-life on-scene look at depression and mental health from the inside (by Josiah who clearly paints an pretty relatable picture -at least to me a British teen) and what it looks like from the outside, by Amanda Prowse and just eloquently explains what it feels like to all sink into that dark place together
