Sarah’s Reviews > Men Have Called Her Crazy > Status Update

The sheer amount of quotes I’ve highlighted…she captures my experience so accurately it’s so insane to feel so regular and understood and accompanied

Shit shit shit I’m crying on the TTC now…I love her present-day chapters so deeply, I cannot believe she can put these experiences down to paper so accurately. Her experience with doctors and therapists is too common. I really like this and I see why the other chapters focused on men exist…it’s vital context to her paranoia and trauma in any relationship…”I feel like I’m getting in trouble!”

Okay, I understand this a little bit more and like can see it as a reflection on her life and experiences and what her recent struggle made her reflect on more … so I’m not as like disappointed in all the lack of selfhood detached from men every other chapter … it’s a very real and prominent anchor unfortunately and it seems she’s just considering an alternative to that so I can’t fault her ? You know?

Feeling a little different about this now…it’s getting a little too male-centered for my liking but maybe she’s just like laying the groundwork for some big revelation? Still really well written but I definitely preferred everything about mental health and the really fragile process of receiving treatment

Just learned my favourite collection of art came out / after the events here and I’m trying so hard not to sob

I have had these exact thoughts within the last 48 months … IMAGINE ARTICULATING FEELINGS WITH WORDS SO PRECISELY
