Summary
From the bestselling author of Quiet Girl in a Noisy World comes a gently humorous and poignant collection of comics about anxiety and depression—because sometimes even the simple things like getting out of bed every day feel like an uphill battle。
Everything Is OK is the story of Debbie Tung’s struggle with anxiety and her experience with depression。 She shares what it’s like navigating life， overthinking every possible worst-case scenario， and constantly feeling like all hope is lost。
The book explores her journey to understanding the importance of mental health in her day-to-day life and how she learns to embrace the highs and lows when things feel out of control。 Debbie opens up about deeply personal issues and the winding road to recovery， discovers the value of self-love， and rebuilds a more mindful relationship with her mental health。
In this graphic memoir， Debbie aims to provide positive and comforting messages to anyone who is facing similar difficulties or is just trying to get through a tough time in life。 She hopes to encourage readers to be kinder to themselves， to know that they are not alone， and that it’s okay to be vulnerable because they are not defined by their mental health struggles。 The dark clouds won’t be there forever。 Everything will turn out all right。

Debbie Tung has crafted a heartbreaking but completely relatable graphic novel here。 The illustrations and color palette are simplistic but perfect for the contents， and the text feels like it was pulled out of my own mind。 Definitely going to order a physical copy to own。

I’ll always be a fan of Debbie Tung’s work。 Quiet Girl in a Noisy World， Book Love， Happily Ever After and Everything in Between， have all been such a joy to read。 In her new book Everything Is OK， Debbie does something incredibly courageous。 She shares her personal journey of how she got help for her anxiety and depression， and she does it in the way she expresses herself best: through beautiful， gentle， relatable graphic vignettes。 It’s remarkable to me how Debbie has captured all the thoughts I’ll always be a fan of Debbie Tung’s work。 Quiet Girl in a Noisy World， Book Love， Happily Ever After and Everything in Between， have all been such a joy to read。 In her new book Everything Is OK， Debbie does something incredibly courageous。 She shares her personal journey of how she got help for her anxiety and depression， and she does it in the way she expresses herself best: through beautiful， gentle， relatable graphic vignettes。 It’s remarkable to me how Debbie has captured all the thoughts and feelings she’s had and has dealing with anxiety and depression。 Having dealt with these things myself， I know it can feel lonely。 Everyone has a unique situation， but Debbie gets it。 Everything Is OK reminds us that we are not alone in this struggle。 If you or someone you know suffers from anxiety and/or depression， you’ll want to read this encouraging book。 。。。more

This is the second comic book from Debbie Ting I’ve read， and， like Quiet Girl in a Noisy World， this resonated so deeply with me。 I loved when the watercolor addition mirrored the speaker’s improved mental wellness and/or outlook on life。 And the advice that the therapist gives is easy for others who are experiencing depression to adopt， as well as shows therapy nay-sayers what counseling is actually like。 I’m looking forward to whatever Tung produces next！

I absolutely loved this （and maybe I shed a little tear）。 It came at a perfect time in my life， to be honest。 I was already a fan of Debbie Tung， but even more so now！ The way she depicts struggling with depression and anxiety in her new graphic memoir is just perfection and so damn relatable！ And of course I love the art style and the way she added some colour to show different states of mind and thoughts。 She really did an amazing job getting her feelings and struggle across。 This book is for I absolutely loved this （and maybe I shed a little tear）。 It came at a perfect time in my life， to be honest。 I was already a fan of Debbie Tung， but even more so now！ The way she depicts struggling with depression and anxiety in her new graphic memoir is just perfection and so damn relatable！ And of course I love the art style and the way she added some colour to show different states of mind and thoughts。 She really did an amazing job getting her feelings and struggle across。 This book is for anyone who feels lost or overwhelmed by life。 And even though I found some of her comics in this book a bit confrontational cause of my own struggles， it is very uplifting。 It is important to remember: life isn't always easy and progress isn't linear。 Healing from trauma and mental health issues comes with ups and downs and that is absolutely normal。 Thank you to Andrews McMeel Publishing and NetGalley for the e-ARC of this beautiful book。 And a huge thank you to Debbie Tung for creating it， I needed that。 。。。more

This was a great read， It’s so relatable。 What the character was going through got me emotional because I have been there and know the struggle of going through depression and anxiety。 I’m looking forward to picking up more works from this author。

Everything is OK follows artist Debbie Tung’s journey with depression and anxiety and how she lives with this。 In the book we see the moments leading up to some of her darkest thoughts that finally pushed her to get the help and support that she needed and we get to watch her come out the other side， not unscathed， but now with the tools to care for any scrapes and bruises she may incur along the way。This book is INCREDIBLE， full stop。 Debbie really captured what it feels like when your own brai Everything is OK follows artist Debbie Tung’s journey with depression and anxiety and how she lives with this。 In the book we see the moments leading up to some of her darkest thoughts that finally pushed her to get the help and support that she needed and we get to watch her come out the other side， not unscathed， but now with the tools to care for any scrapes and bruises she may incur along the way。This book is INCREDIBLE， full stop。 Debbie really captured what it feels like when your own brain is the thing working against you and you somehow have to stop it。 We live in a society that treats rest like a reward when it’s actually a necessity and rewards overworking oneself at the mercy of being “productive，” and that together is the perfect cocktail for burnout which is terrible hard to recover from。 Tung shows us through her own experiences what it looks like to go to therapy and ask for help and really put in the work to implement the boundaries and other changes one needs to bring themself peace。This book is by no means a substitute for professional help， nor is it a self-help book or some sort of fix your life in ten easy steps nonsense either。 It’s a recollection of Tung’s own life written with the intention of reminding the reader that we are never as alone as we may feel; other people are far more likely to understand what we’re going through than they are given credit for and while it may not be easy to ask for help it is and always will be completely worth it。Everything is OK won’t fix your life or your problems or your brain chemistry， but it’s a great reminder that these are things that CAN be fixed; these difficulties are not forever no matter how much the mean voice in your head wants you to believe that they are。 That mean voice is lying to you。 This is gonna sound super cliche but I’m saying it anyway: everything really will be okay; it will take time and effort， but this book may just be your first step towards that。Thanks to NetGalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing for sending me a digital ARC in exchange for an honest review。 Everything is OK is currently available for preorder and will be available at libraries and major book retailers on September 27th， 2022。 。。。more

Debbie Tung shares her experiences with what I would call late-onset depression， and I thank her for the vulnerability to do so。 This graphic novel was extremely relatable with tales of depression and anxiety， and I love the role that color played - most of the book is in black and white as she's feeling her lowest but the rainbow slowly gets introduced as her mood elevates。 By the end of the book you have full， beautiful pages of color。 However， and I hate to say this， the writing was a little Debbie Tung shares her experiences with what I would call late-onset depression， and I thank her for the vulnerability to do so。 This graphic novel was extremely relatable with tales of depression and anxiety， and I love the role that color played - most of the book is in black and white as she's feeling her lowest but the rainbow slowly gets introduced as her mood elevates。 By the end of the book you have full， beautiful pages of color。 However， and I hate to say this， the writing was a little too succinct （dare I say "trite"） for me。 The simplicity can be a major draw for some， but for me， who has read much more complex takes on mental illness and has experienced revelations on mental illness for over a decade now， the simplicity ended up reading too much like a greeting card。 I feel like this book would be a great gift to someone dealing with mental illness for the very first time。 If you're someone who has dealt and read about mental illness for a long time， this book might not offer anything new to you， though it was a quick and visually appealing read。 Again， I think anyone dealing with mental illness for the first time （or parents of someone struggling） would have a lot to take away from this book， but I feel like I've graduated past that having been mentally ill for as long as I can remember。 Thank you so much， Debbie， for putting yourself out there， and I can't wait to read Book Love！Thank you to the author， the publisher， and Net Galley for an ARC in exchange for an honest review。 。。。more
