Hello I Want to Die Please Fix Me Written by Anna Mehler Paperny ...
Quote:
Note: I haven't yet read the book but if you are going to download this book, I will share what has helped me keep living.
Imagine your whole life to the end is utter shit, absolute garbage, nothing really happens and it's boring as hell. You achieve nothing, are in debt, people hate you, and all the other stupid things you can imagine.
And then someday you happen to be around some other persons and you do something that literally saves their life(Doesn't have to be movie dramatic), even just as simple as moving them out of the way of an upcoming death or just taking them to hospital quickly or if they are choking, you stop that, or even give CPR to someone dying or jump in the water to save someone.
Will you life would have been worth it then?
I say it would have.
So, if you ever feel like giving up on this life, remember, you might just do something later in life that saves another. That has what has helped me in the the last decade.
P.S: Please give me compliments, I am starving for compliments.

Award-winning journalist Anna Mehler Paperny's stunning memoir chronicles with courageous honesty and uncommon eloquence her experience of depression and her quest to explore what we know and don't know about this disease that afflicts almost a fifth of the population--providing an invaluable guide to a system struggling to find solutions. As fascinating as it is heartrending, as outrageously funny as it is serious, it is a must-read for anyone impacted by depression--and that's pretty much everybody.
Depression is a havoc-wreaking illness that masquerades as personal failing and hijacks your life. After a major suicide attempt in her early twenties, Anna Mehler Paperny resolved to put her reporter's skills to use to get to know her enemy, setting off on a journey to understand her condition, the dizzying array of medical treatments on offer and a medical profession in search of answers. Charting the way depression wrecks so many, she maps competing schools of therapy, pharmacology, cutting-edge medicine, the pill-popping pitfalls of long-term treatment, the glaring unknowns and the institutional shortcomings that both patients and practitioners are up against. She interviews leading medical experts across Canada and the US, from psychiatrists to neurologists, brain-mapping pioneers to family practitioners, and others dabbling in strange hypotheses--and shares compassionate conversations with fellow sufferers.
Hello I Want to Die Please Fix Me tracks Anna's quest for knowledge and her desire to get well. Impeccably reported, it is a profoundly compelling story about the human spirit and the myriad ways we treat (and fail to treat) the disease that accounts for more years swallowed up by disability than any other in the world.
