[Don't] Call Me Crazy

2.5 stars. I was expecting this to be more of a discussion of mental health and how people with mental illnesses are treated in our society, but many of the essays were more of a detailed description of the authors' mental illness - many of which I found to be really triggering. I honestly skimmed through a lot of this because I was finding it so difficult to read, and I typically don't get triggered by reading things like this. While some did describe their mental illness, thus giving more exposure & background to whatever it was, and then talked about finding help and good resources and how beneficial it was, multiple essays just gave a detailed description of what living with a mental illness is like and that was it. Some stories resonated with me, a lot did not.
I think this is great in the sense that we should all be more comfortable in talking about mental health, but it was definitely not an enjoyable reading experience for me.
