BOOK!
I don't want to be crazy by: Samantha Schutz
Back of the book;
This is a true story of growing up, breaking down, and coming to grips with a psychological disorder. When Samantha Schutz first left home for college, she was excited by the possibilities -- freedom from parents, freedom from a boyfriend who was reckless with her affections, freedom from the person she was supposed to be. At first, she revelled in the independence ... but as pressures increased , she began to suffer anxiety attacks that would leave her mentally shaken and physically incapacitated. Thus began a hard road of discovery and coping, powerfully rendered in this poetry memoir.
I really reccomened this book. ESPECIALLY if you have history with anexieties/anxiety attacks. It's written in poetry form, so it's not too long. I read it in a day :P It's written in great detail and it's vivid. I could pretty much picture the whole thing in my head the whole time.
Ellen Hopkins wrote a review on it, she really liked it. So if you're a fan of her work then you might as well try to read it (:
next read; Just Listen by Sarah Dessen
