Chronicle In Favor Of Books I Don't Want To Be Crazy
A harrowing, remarkable poetry memoir about one girl's struggle with anxiety disorder.
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.

Her anxiety intensifies until the she feels fearful, physically ill, and must escape (whatever the situation) at any cost. Unable to calm herself down, Samantha seeks outside assistance from a therapist and a psychiatrist who are able to help her temporarily manage her condition. Still, she is a wreck throughout her first year of college. Once she comes clean to her friends about her problem, they areCheck out my book blog for more reviews and a full review of I Don't Want To Be Crazy!A beautiful verse novel about anxiety/panic disorder, written by someone who has actually gone through these things, so knows what its like. Its also a memoir, and I think Samantha Schutz is very brave for telling her story to the world. Teens (or anyone really) who suffer from anxiety disorder, like me, will be able to relate to this book perfectly and feel like theyre not alone. And we all need that
This one made me see Anxiety Disorder in a whole new light. However, halfway through, it kind of dropped and I didn't really understand the direction in which the book went. The poetry was really good in some parts and it's rather brave of Samantha to have survived this. Good luck to her!
3.5 Stars
A very short but poignant memoir about the struggles of a woman in her late teens to mid-twenties struggling with crippling anxiety disorder. I have never read anything where anxiety was the main focus before and it was very eye opening. I myself have mild anxiety which I can deal with alright, but my best friend has horrendous anxiety that she struggles with daily and I now feel like I can understand her a bit better.I listened to this on Audible and Samantha Schutz excellently narrates it
This was okay - nowhere near like what the reader gets with Ellen Hopkins or Sonya Sones but that's just dealing with the verse aspect of the book. The other authors are fiction writers whereas this is non. I thought it was a little repetitive also but I suppose a life full of anxiety attacks might be repetitive. I will admit that I had no idea people dealt with anxiety to this degree. I've taken an anti-anxiety medicine myself and apparently barely needed it when I think about what Schutz went
