Everything Is OK

Everything Is OK

Debbie Tung

Enjoyment: Quality: Characters: Plot:

From the bestselling author of Quiet Girl in a Noisy World comes a gently humorous and poignant collection of comics about anxiety and depression—because sometimes even the simple things like getting out of bed every day feel like an uphill battle. Everything Is OK is the story of Debbie Tung’s struggle with anxiety and her experience with depression. She shares what it’s like navigating life, overthinking every possible worst-case scenario, and constantly feeling like all hope is lost. The book explores her journey to understanding the importance of mental health in her day-to-day life and how she learns to embrace the highs and lows when things feel out of control. Debbie opens up about deeply personal issues and the winding road to recovery, discovers the value of self-love, and rebuilds a more mindful relationship with her mental health. In this graphic memoir, Debbie aims to provide positive and comforting messages to anyone who is facing similar difficulties or is just trying to get through a tough time in life. She hopes to encourage readers to be kinder to themselves, to know that they are not alone, and that it’s okay to be vulnerable because they are not defined by their mental health struggles. The dark clouds won’t be there forever. Everything will turn out all right.

    This graphic novel/comic was just what I needed to read today. It brought tears to my eyes as I was reading because it hit home in so many ways. Honestly, there is not a day where I do second guess my life choices & then berate myself because I have it so much better than other people. So what if I went to college but have never used my degree. So what if I don't make a ton of money at my job. I have my health, a beautiful family, and a roof over my head. What is there to be anxious or depressed about? These are things Tung touched on & resonated with me deep in my soul. Recognizing these moments, when I put myself down is the first step to understanding its okay to not be okay, and that someday I will be. I am so glad I came across this book here on NetGalley and I plan to purchase and keep it handy to remind myself it will get better, just take a day at a time.
