First published 2015
Jenny Lawson is not okay. Plagued by crippling anxiety and depression, she's spent years trying to hide her struggles. But when her condition spirals out of control, she decides to confront her demons head-on. With her trademark irreverent humor and brutal honesty, Lawson takes readers on a riotous, raw exploration of life with a mental illness. From panic attacks to self-medicating with pet raccoons, her odyssey is both uproariously funny and profoundly moving. In the end, Lawson's remarkable resilience shines through, offering hope and inspiration to anyone who's ever felt "furiously happy" and terribly alone.
