Status Updates From شيطان الظهيرة: تشريح الاكتئاب

Still sloggjng through. Audio book makes it more manageable. Perhaps need a break from books about depression

“If your hair has always been thin, it seems thinner; if you have always had bad skin, it gets worse. You smell sour even to yourself. You lose the ability to trust anyone, to be touched, to grieve. Eventually, you are absent from yourself.”
- page 19

great so far! super raw. cathartic i guess.

Another audible read sponsored by AK.
Chapter 4: “Prior to menstruation, some women experience physical discomfort and some,
because of bloating, perceive themselves to be less attractive; each of these experiences triggers low mood”.
Don’t love this theory 🤔 bloating is physically uncomfortable and certainly not causing women to spiral into depression (but what do I know)
Physical ‘discomfort’? Pain.
