Not to be dramatic but I think this book was specifically written for me.

Folks, we've got it all: crippling anxiety, dissociation, existential overwhelm, a love for animals coupled with the terror of losing them, leading double lives ft one laced with Catholicism, families repressing emotions, and the bleakness of the medical system. Anyway I'm a mess after reading this in the best of ways and feel very seen.

Recommended if you enjoy books like Anxious People, a Man Called Ove, and Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine (what genre of book is this and how do I find more??).
