Summary
Baek Se-Hee is a successful young social media director at a publishing house when she begins seeing a psychiatrist about her--what to call it？--depression？ She feels persistently low， anxious， endlessly self-doubting， but also highly judgemental of others。 She hides her feelings well at work and with friends， adept at performing the calmness， even ease， her lifestyle demands。 The effort is exhausting and overwhelming and keeps her from forming deep relationships。 This can't be normal。 But if she's so hopeless， why can she always summon a yen for her favourite street food， the hot， spicy rice cake， tteokbokki？ Is this just what life is like？ Recording her dialogues with her psychiatrist over a 12-week period， Baek begins to disentangle the feedback loops， knee-jerk reactions， and harmful behaviours that keep her locked in a cycle of self-abuse。

This was a nice little book that was quite different than I thought it would be。 I was attracted to the title - because it's very relatable！ Most of the book is taken up by transcripts of the author's therapy sessions。 I could relate to some of them but not others - even so， I felt like following their discussions was a good exercise and helped me get some therapy too， in an indirect way。 The rest of the book is more like a traditional memoir， with the author's musings on life and her own mental This was a nice little book that was quite different than I thought it would be。 I was attracted to the title - because it's very relatable！ Most of the book is taken up by transcripts of the author's therapy sessions。 I could relate to some of them but not others - even so， I felt like following their discussions was a good exercise and helped me get some therapy too， in an indirect way。 The rest of the book is more like a traditional memoir， with the author's musings on life and her own mental health。 I found this more closely relatable， as someone around her age。 There were some comforting conclusions drawn， in a way that never felt overly preachy or cringeworthy。 This book mostly felt like a warm pat on the back！I received a free copy in exchange for a review on NetGalley。 。。。more

Baek is successful， young and healthy - she has an amazing job and a good life。 But she begins to see a psychiatrist about something she can't quite describe。 She doesn't exactly want to die， but most of the time she doesn't have the energy to live either。 She isn't happy， but she finds little moments of joy， like in her favourite snack tteokboki。 She spends all her days hiding her feelings of depression， desperation， doubt and finds it leaves her with little energy for love， friends or happines Baek is successful， young and healthy - she has an amazing job and a good life。 But she begins to see a psychiatrist about something she can't quite describe。 She doesn't exactly want to die， but most of the time she doesn't have the energy to live either。 She isn't happy， but she finds little moments of joy， like in her favourite snack tteokboki。 She spends all her days hiding her feelings of depression， desperation， doubt and finds it leaves her with little energy for love， friends or happiness。 Over the next twelve weeks， she sits in that room with her psychiatrist trying to unravel the cycle of self-abuse and crippling hopelessness that is taking over her life。"I wasn't deathly depressed， but I wasn't happy either， floating instead in some feeling between the two。 I suffered more because I had no idea that these contradictory feelings could and did coexist。"Somewhere between memoir， diary and self-help， this book is one of the most authentically real things I've read in quite some time。 A very genuine， not sensationalised account of mental health and the staggering impact it can have on a life that seems perfect on the surface。 Exploring treatment， realisation， and the side-effects people often don't see， Baek gives a sense of catharsis in letting out all the suffering and pain onto the pages。Poignant， painful but unbelievably affirming - this book feels like a personal conversation with Baek and has a strange comfort， a companionship that makes you feel less alone。 The structure was interesting， featuring transcripts of her therapy sessions and her own memories and recollections of the time - these were very dense， and I'm not sure if they've been edited as they felt somewhat scripted and unnatural at points。 For me， I found the overall flow of the story too dense and difficult to read at times， and of course there is a disparity between my own experiences with mental health in the UK and another in Korea - however this is such an important book that I'd recommend you read it anyway。 。。。more

“Revealing my darkness is just as natural a thing to do as revealing my light”I greatly commend Baek Sehee on the bravery it took to write such an openly transparent book about her struggles with mental health。It is a unique and much needed perspective to have the dialogue between the author and her psychiatrist written before us。 After each chapter Sehee provides her reflections， which were insightful and poetic， as well as an appendix full of musings based on various topics。In the beginning I “Revealing my darkness is just as natural a thing to do as revealing my light”I greatly commend Baek Sehee on the bravery it took to write such an openly transparent book about her struggles with mental health。It is a unique and much needed perspective to have the dialogue between the author and her psychiatrist written before us。 After each chapter Sehee provides her reflections， which were insightful and poetic， as well as an appendix full of musings based on various topics。In the beginning I did have some difficulty following along， as topics within the dialogue or her reflections seemed to jump around。 However， given that this reads like Sehee’s personal journal throughout therapy the writing style represents her true thoughts and feelings。 Nevertheless， I would have liked greater clarification within some areas， including the purpose of the appendix at the end， which while interesting felt quite disjointed from the book。 Regardless of your mental health status I think there is some advice from the author’s psychiatrist for everyone， and those considering therapy for the first time could find this book very helpful for what to expect for conversations with a therapist。Thank you NetGalley， Bloomsbury USA， and Bloomsbury Publishing for access to an advance copy to review。 。。。more

Thank you Bloomsbury， Edelweiss and Netgalley for the ARC， in exchange for an honest review。 The title and cover are excellent and I really wanted to like this book， but I’m afraid it isn’t for me。 I DNF at page 74。 I had expected this to be more of a memoir of depression with a bit of humour as well （the title and cover suggest at least that much） but it’s really a self-help book， existing of written down therapy sessions。 I just couldn’t connect。

Thanks to NetGalley and Baek Sehee for this advanced copy of I Want to die but I want to eat tteokbokki in exchange for an honest review。 I honestly had very high hopes for this book: this is one of my favorite titles of a book ever。 VERY relatable。 Unfortunately I made it just about half way through before calling it quits。 This is a collection of transcribed therapy sessions between the author and her therapist， with little thoughts or nuggets of wisdom she has learned interspersed in between。 Thanks to NetGalley and Baek Sehee for this advanced copy of I Want to die but I want to eat tteokbokki in exchange for an honest review。 I honestly had very high hopes for this book: this is one of my favorite titles of a book ever。 VERY relatable。 Unfortunately I made it just about half way through before calling it quits。 This is a collection of transcribed therapy sessions between the author and her therapist， with little thoughts or nuggets of wisdom she has learned interspersed in between。 I found it to be rather dull and repetitive。 Maybe if I was someone who had never experienced how talk therapy helps reframe thoughts and belief patterns， it might be really cool to have a firsthand account of it， breaking the stigma and seeing how it might help me。 I have gone through a bunch of therapy though （yay） and had a hard time picking it back up to read。 I was also disappointed at the lack of tteokbokki mentions？ It makes for a great title and she mentions at the beginning that she uses food as a coping mechanism but， as of halfway through， hasn’t circled back to it。 I was just hoping there would be more of a food theme through out but alas。 I am not going to force myself to try and finish :（ 。。。more

这是一本记录了作者与她的心里治疗师的对话。其实大部分的内容讲述了大家也会经历的琐碎小事，例如同事对自己无伤大雅的赞美反而误解为是种讽刺。有时是自己的自尊心受挫，把自己的心理包袱寄托在别人身上，脑袋清醒过后就后悔莫及。现今社会大多数的上班族都面临巨大的压力，既要应付职场上的重重挑战也要应付私生活的问题。感情上若不如意，也会间接的影响上班时的情绪。读了这本书后，我发现其实很多人也偶尔会因生活上的不如意感到一点忧郁。其实只是我们想太多罢了。只有自己活得开心，不需要太在意别人的想法。生活上的不如意的事十之八九，只要自己不要太过消极，保持乐观的心态，也可以享受人生的！

Like this， it really motivates me to do better in life， the contents is a little bit boring since it only contains about the conversation between se-hee and her psikiater， my expectations was that there will be explainings stuff which may makes me learn new things and to motivates me， stuff like that。。 but overall i like it :）

Thank you to NetGalley and Bloomsbury USA for the ARC！ I found the premise of this book to be really enticing， but the format and the formality of the translation made it feel like I was reading an AI transcript。 I really liked the essays in the epilogue session and wish I could’ve seen more of that type of writing in the book。 I’m excited to see what else this author has in store in the future though！

I really loved this book！ It is the first self-help book that I loved， actually enjoyed reading， and didn’t DNF’ed。 Firstly， it’s part memoir， featuring the author’s therapy sessions， where she is trying to find out why she is how she is， depressed， unhappy， with low self-esteem and always puts herself down。 Secondly， it’s a part self-help book， where the author explains her mental health struggles without sugar-coating or glamorising it， whilst providing some explanation on different conditions I really loved this book！ It is the first self-help book that I loved， actually enjoyed reading， and didn’t DNF’ed。 Firstly， it’s part memoir， featuring the author’s therapy sessions， where she is trying to find out why she is how she is， depressed， unhappy， with low self-esteem and always puts herself down。 Secondly， it’s a part self-help book， where the author explains her mental health struggles without sugar-coating or glamorising it， whilst providing some explanation on different conditions and how it is possible to tackle them。 The author also talks about how she is slowly overcoming her struggles， step by step and not always in a linear fashion， taking a few steps forward but in reality stumbling some ten steps backwards。 I love the honesty， the raw truth of mental health problems and how the author talks about her struggles， how she is not afraid to talk about her feelings too。 I really liked how the book was so easy to read and felt really personal， like， I felt I was the one in the therapy room having the conversation with the therapist。 I devoured this book in a few hours and would love to go back read it again and annotate， and add my thoughts （hopefully can do that once I get a physical copy when it's out）。 It was also so relatable， as most of the author’s struggles are so universal and some of us might face more than one in our everyday life。 This book is different but in such a good way， it stands out， as it's not your traditional ‘how to take care of your mental health’， full of checklists and tips book。 This book has a unique voice and true story， which makes it very raw and real， whilst teaching quite a lot about mental health from the perspective of our everyday life。 Overall: I really think we need more books like this on mental health， as for me how the author bravely shared her feelings and thoughts on mental health conditions， made me think that more conversations like this need to happen in our communities and society to get over the stigma surrounding this subject。 I can’t wait until it’s released， so I can buy a physical copy， re-read it and annotate it， and have it on my bookshelf to help me when I face hard moments in my life。 It is translated so well， as writing just flows。 It’s also so easy to understand， and there are some extra information provided， explaining Korean cultural nuances that the reader might not be familiar with。 Honestly， a book that is really worth a place on your bookshelf。 。。。more
