How to never be enough -- Love in the time of chakras -- I want to be a whole person but really thin -- Help me not to be a human being -- Love like you are trying to fill an insatiable spiritual hole with another person who will suffocate in there -- Honk if there's a committee in your head trying to kill you -- I took the internet addiction quiz and I won -- I don't feel bad about my neck -- The patron saint of nicotine gum -- My vomit fetish, myself -- One text is too many and a thousand are never enough -- Hello 911, I can't stop time -- Google hangout with my higher self -- The terror in my heart says hi -- Never getting over the fantasy of you is going okay -- Keep your friends close but your anxiety closer -- I told you not to get the knish: thoughts on open marriage and illness -- Under the anxiety is sadness but who would go under there.
"From acclaimed poet and creator of the popular Twitter account @sosadtoday comes a darkly funny and brutally honest collection of essays. Melissa Broder always struggled with anxiety. In the fall of 2012, she went through a harrowing cycle of panic attacks and dread that wouldn't abate for months. So she began @sosadtoday, an anonymous Twitter feed that allowed her to express her darkest feelings, and which quickly gained a dedicated following. In SO SAD TODAY, Broder delves deeper into the existential themes she explores on Twitter, grappling with sex, death, love low self-esteem, addiction, and the drama of waiting for the universe to text you back. With insights as sharp as her humor, Broder explores--in prose that is both ballsy and beautiful, aggressively colloquial and achingly poetic--questions most of us are afraid to even acknowledge, let alone answer, in order to discover what it really means to be a person in this modern world."-- Provided by publisher.
