Most of the stories in here were amazing and so easy to relate to. If you have an anxiety disorder or want to understand what a friend goes through, pick up a copy of this anthology. I would have given it a five but there were a few stories that seemed to have nothing to do with the theme of the collection.

Theres alot going on in this anthology. I felt such an intense camaraderie from having so many stories about this crammed together. Being able to relate to the stories where their anxiety manifests the same way as mine was great, and seeing the variety of issues made it feel expansive. The only downside for me is that the comics dont have titles or separators, in a lot of cases. That meant the whole book can feel like one very long thought. I think they flow into each other nicely, but there was...

Holy shit. If you suffer from Anxiety, Depression, OCD, or an Eating disorder, this book is Important. The perspective of the writers and their tales of these afflictions is wonderful and sad and beautiful. so many times during my reading of this I felt kinship to the writer or illustrator. This was wonderful.

I took my time reading this comics anthology. It's a heavy subject, so I thought it best to take it in just a little at a time. I was struck by how many forms anxiety takes, manifesting in different ways, personal to each artist. That came through in how each artist chose to not just describe, but often show a physical manifestation of their anxiety (taking advantage of the comics medium). Luckily for me, I don't suffer from any crippling form of anxiety, just your run-of-the-mill basic anxietie...
I guess it should have been obvious that a comic anthology about anxiety would be largely about the anxiety of comic artists but because a lot of the struggles being dealt with were creative I found it kind of hard to relate at times. I also didn't see much representation outside generalized anxiety and depression? Qualms aside it did have some genuinely uplifting and relatable stories. My mom actually picked it up and found it quite enlightening so I'd suggest it especially for those who don't

A powerful collection of 50 graphic artists' expressing their personal dealings with anxiety and depression as graphic art. Lots of aspects to explore and ponder now!
