When Anxiety Was Cured by People Coming Together - Anxious People by Fredrik Backman

A heart touching story about characters dealing with anxiety with a broad spectrum of reasons possibly faced by ninety percent of humanity today. The writing is clunky but the story has some excellent plot points and weaving a story seamlessly across so many characters without making it feel so overwhelming is a marvel that always pleases. Centered around the incident of a bank robbery gone wrong and accidentally turning into a hostage situation is a premise that wants you to jump right in stay glued to see how these troubled people bond together over difficulty and tragedy and choose the cure over all anxieties - companionship.

What Depression Looks Like | Hyperbole And A Half by Allie Brosh

This is a special episode - the first cross over episode between Mind Mined & Writing With A Knife, a podcast on great stories, books and authors. This is an attempt to bring forward the world of writing to our listeners to introduce to them realistic yet entertaining portrayals of mental health struggles. Hyperbole And a Half is a comic autobiographical portrayal in which we get glimpses of the author's life of incidents which sometimes directly and sometimes through very clever metaphors introduces to us the daily challenges involved with depression. The narration is very funny, and the experiences shared with us feel so authentic, it warms your heart more than it already is towards people who go through mental health struggles as well as makes you more compassionate towards yourself. A fantastically delivered narrative, Allie Brosh has won our hearts and respect to have come out the way she has through this journey. Keep going, Allie - we will always be cheering for you.
