"I'm Not Okay And I've Never Been Better" will take you on an emotional, introspective journey through the closed-off corners of our thoughts. The 51 topics in the book create a relatable, and at times uncomfortable, conversation designed to inspire and encourage the reader to take on the darkness and feelings of loneliness. We are not alone despite how we feel. We are all trying to survive. We need to break through the walls and façade of pretending to be okay. This book asks the questions we try to avoid and grants the relief that comes after finally opening up and talking to your most-trusted person. By reading the book, the author will become the best friend you never knew was missing, the one who tells you all the things you never wanted to hear but needed to. The stories are used to guide the demand for acceptance and realization of the importance of mental health and the internal struggle we face due to the societal demand to be "more than okay." You might laugh, you might cry, you might even cringe because it is "too close to home," but you will grow.
