Unable to do much more than walk aimlessly through the streets of Berkeley, Correll admitted herself to the hospital to reckon with The Bad Feeling that had been her companion since she was a child.In ANXIETYLAND, Correll’s ingenious and charming illustrations lead readers through the amusement park in her own mind—featuring severe anxiety, depression, agoraphobia, and disassociation—a frightening and darkly funny world that “feels like a place apart from ‘real’ life.”"I have a vacation home in Anxietyland, and Gemma Correll perfectly captures the hunted animal feeling of being a depressed, anxious babe in a way that is so vulnerable and funny and good; this book is honest, and doesn’t feel like corny self-help, and is relatable in a way that makes you feel seen, not like a freak." —Samantha Irby, New York Times bestselling author of Quietly Hostile and We Are Never Meeting in Real Life"In Anxietyland, Gemma Correll's gorgeous memoir about her life-long experiences with anxiety, readers get a front-row seat to her hero's journey. Correll writes honestly and generously about her experiences—what worked and what didn't—and her book is the perfect companion for anyone suffering from anxiety and other mood disorders. This book is the perfect blend of self-disclosure, somatic descriptions, real-talk about gnarly conditions, compassion, and most of all, hope. Everyone in my life needs this tender, heart-filled book." —Christie Tate, New York Times bestselling author of Group“Gemma’s hilarious drawing style provides laughs and relief on some tough topics! Get Gemma’s work in your life as a mood stabilizer!” —Maria Bamford, New York Times bestselling author of Sure, I’ll Join Your Cult"Gemma overcomes the most frustrating part of anxiety and depression, the inability to express it in words! It made me feel good because it’s funny, of course, but more importantly I felt less alone from page one, nay from the cover. It’s as valuable as months of talk therapy. I give it my highest recommendation which is my highest recommendation." —Gary Gulman, author of Misfit“Gemma Correll's Anxietyland is a deeply felt and surprisingly funny book about what it's like to live with the feeling that disaster not just could, but probably will happen at any second. Inhabitants of Anxietyland will relate, and so will everyone else.
