Title: Reasons to Stay Alive
Author: Matt Haig
Date read: 9/3-9/5/24
Why I read this book: It’s part of my ongoing effort to shy away from fictional reading. It’s about the author’s struggle with and recovery from depression which I have struggled with myself.
What I learned: I learned that Depression looks different with everyone. The author’s struggles, although similar to my own, were not the same. I really enjoyed learning how another worked through this problem. It is not a subject that is easily discussed because of the stigma surrounding mental health issues. This book gave me hope that it does not rain all the time and things do get better.
