Hello Cruel World: 101 Alternatives to Suicide for Teens, Freaks, and Other Outlaws | Kate Bornstein

Was hoping I might be able to use this for some of the teens I work with but it‘s too “much” for adolescent community mental health. Kate Bornstein is straight up truth.

Bookwomble You might, perhaps, find the tagged book is a more age-appropriate reflection on teen depression and suicidal ideation.

How Not to Kill Yourself: A Survival Guide for Imaginative Pessimists

Bookwomble @Sleepswithbooks I should say it does have some swearing in it, but nothing, I seem to recall, too extreme. 1w

Dear Friend, from My Life I Write to You in Your Life | Yiyun Li

Working my way through my first book by Yiyun Li. It‘s not bad, but I want memoir to invite me inside the author‘s emotional truth, and I don‘t think this one has done that. While I can understand why Li maintains a somewhat academic distance, given the subject matter, I still wish it felt a little less like one of those documentaries where the narrator speaks blandly while unobtrusive piano music plays over a montage of archival footage.

Lost and Found | Shaun Tan

pick

Tan's work is always to visually and conceptually compelling, and these three short stories are no exception. They tackle the bigness of depression, the lost feeling of not fitting society's expectations, and the process of colonization. This is a pretty quick read since it is formatted like a picture book. #Art

Reasons to Stay Alive | Matt Haig

so-so

A better title for this book would be “Why I Needed to Find Reasons to Stay Alive.” There was one section of reasons, but they were from twitter so it was annoying. This isn‘t what I was hoping it would be when I started, but it was pretty good anyway. I think the title is just a bit of a misrepresentation. I would have chosen to read this on more of a high than a low, personally; but your mileage may vary.

GingerAntics The big focus seems to be to put all your will to live on another person. It‘s a memoir and if you‘re not looking for encouragement or reasons to stay alive, you might enjoy this as just a memoir. #MattHaig #ReasonsToStayAlive #audiobook #ReadByTheAuthor #Memoir 3w
