This book is absolutely fantastic. Debbie Tung's memoir about her journey with anxiety and depression is incredibly inspiring. I love that throughout the book, attending therapy is normalized. Teens and adults alike will find this book to be comforting as we can all relate to Tung's struggles.

I have read several of Tung's books and I truly believe that one of her greatest gifts is helping people feel seen through her life and experiences. I look forward to adding this book to my classroom library and sharing it with my students. I will also be rereading it anytime the road gets a bit too rough.

Much like Debbie Tung's past publications, pretty much every page of Everything is OK had me marveling at how accurately she managed to put to paper the permeating anxiety of going against the grain/social pressures and the paralyzing hesitancy of mental health struggles, hard-pressed motifs piled together in such an on-point, sympathizable manner and presented in her signature simple, sincere style. My heart ached with kinship as she traced how prickly the process of persuading yourself to get help can be, synthesizing her message so accessibly and poignantly in a book that will make so many people feel so seen.

Thank you to NetGalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing for kindly passing on this ARC! 💫

A poignant and hopeful memoir about mental health, illustrated beautifully with a stunning use of colour.

"Am I enough?"
"yes, you are. You are more than enough."

Thanks to Netgalley and the editor of ARC
thanks thanks thanks thanks
I love Debbie Tung's drawings and being able to read the ARC of her new graphic novel was great.

It was thrilling and very painful too.
everything ok is the author's story of her struggle with anxiety and her experience of depression. She shares what it's like to overthinking about every possible scenario or feel like all hope is lost.
With incredible empathy, she explores her journey to understand the importance of mental health.

The message of the book is: if you are facing difficulties or if you are just going through a difficult time, you need to be kind to yourself. you are not alone, the dark clouds will not be there forever.

you must read this graphic novel.
I'm really looking forward to having this book in my hands.

I really appreciate this author for describing in an immediate and understandable way, the feelings that plague us when we are depressed. I think a book like this, more than many TV shows, is able to convey the importance of seeking help in a situation like this.

Apprezzo molto questa autrice per aver descritto in una maniera immediata e comprensibile, i sentimenti che ci affliggono quando siamo depressi. Penso che un libro come questo, piú di molte trasmissioni televisive, sia in grado di veicolare l'importanza di cercare aiuto in una situazione come questa.

I received from the Publisher a complimentary digital advanced review copy of the book in exchange for a honest review.

I don’t feel comfortable rating this book because it’s obviously autobiographical and extremely personal to the author.
However, while I can’t say I enjoyed the book - who can comfortably say they enjoy reading about depression and anxiety? - I found it relatable in so many aspects.
I liked how Debbie Tung made sure to explain that mental illness isn’t something to be ashamed of and that people who objectively have perfect lives aren’t immune to it either.
So… this was good.

I want to thank Netgalley for the chance to read this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I cried so much while reading this graphic memoir. I felt every emotion come off the page and related to most of them: fear, anxiety, depression, and hope. It's an amazing and relatable journey that will have you thinking "I'm not alone anymore". I'm definitely buying a physical copy of this when I can. It's beautiful and wonderful.

I feel like this comic did a great job in showing us what it feels like to be overwhelmed and stressed about the littlest things in our lives and I could personally relate to this issue that is raised in the our society today.

The creator has a nicely crafted illustration style and I have enjoyed her other publications. This collection of comics tackles mental health and is more somber in tone. Her depictions of depression and anxiety capture a wide range of experiences and perspectives, while demonstrating the nonlinear nature of mental health treatment.

Thank you to NetGalley, the publisher, and the author for the ARC!

A intimate, powerful glimpse into the life of someone suffering from depression and anxiety. As a person who also suffers from depression and anxiety, I've uttered many of the same things to myself that Debbie does. It is very comforting to not feel alone. The colorful illustrations are extraordinary and do an excellent job of showing moments of peace and clarity.

This is a deeply personal book about the author's experience with depression and anxiety. The book works well when she talks about her life and what she has found useful for taking care of her mental health. However, there are times when it can come across as a bit preachy. I would have preferred if the book had stayed more personal instead of trying to give so much advice. Overall, I enjoyed seeing the author's recovery, the way she learned to be more compassionate towards herself and the hope she found for the future.

This may not be the best book I’ve ever read, but it’s the book I needed to read now. Struggling with mental health issues Is never easy, and I think seeing someone else’s journey can help you process your own. I like her art style, but I wish the comics were a little less frenetic. It seemed to be a random jumble of thoughts instead of a linear concept and my brain didn’t process that well. However, the thoughts are nice and supportive and would positively impact all people with mental illness.

This was an extremely heartfelt read as I couldn't stop thinking about my past self dealing similarly with depression, struggling days on end in the head but still hoping something good to come out of all of it. Debbie Tung has beautifully brought out her life story in a way that is so beckoning. The interactions with the therapist were just (Italian chef's kiss GIF).

I got an advanced copy of this book through NetGalley.

The content in this book is extremely relatable, and yet, even though it deals with depression and anxiety, it's really hopeful.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This book was a graphic memoir of the author sharing her past experience with depression and anxiety. It is a beautiful and touching book that might inspire a lot of readers and made them feel better and hopeful. The art was great and the colors made the character's emotions expressed in each panel palpable.
It is just a nice message for people who are suffering from mental health that asking for help is not a sign of weakness, that it's fine not feeling alright and that things always get better by the end, so be strong and fight for your happiness and your life in general.

I found the majority of Debbie's graphic memoir incredibly relatable, and found myself nodding along, and saying, "YEP! That's totally me." quite often as I read it. The depression and anxiety frames were really well done and perfectly illustrated. I did, however, find it to be a bit repetitive, especially in the last 1/4 of the book.

This comic feels like a memoir, a therapy session, and an empathetic hug all in one. The way the author describes and draws her experiences of depression reflect the many emotions beyond the word ‘depression’, the guilt, the embarrassment, the loneliness, the despair. The author also describes how the experience changed for her as she had to intentionally retrain her brain’s process of self-deprecation and training herself to do things differently, that don’t fix the problem, but rather ease the problem. The art is beautifully done and the story is wonderfully told.

Thank you to Netgalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing for an ARC of this title.

What an absolute delightful hug of a graphic novel. I would highly recommend to anyone who deals with mental illness or has loved ones in their life that deal with mental health ups and downs (AKA everyone).

This book was eloquent, and beautifully illustrated. It detailed the experience of someone dealing with anxiety and depression so well!

Thank you to the publisher and to NetGalley for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Everything is OK is a graphic memoir by Debbie Tung that explores the author’s experiences living with anxiety and depression. This is the third book I’ve read by this author and I really enjoyed this one. I can definitely relate to some of the situations in this graphic memoir since I’ve struggled with anxiety and depression for most of my life. I felt like I was reading about my own life in parts of this book.

I also loved Tung’s artwork and the pretty watercolor backgrounds in some of the panels. I would definitely recommend this graphic memoir and I look forward to reading this author’s next book.

3.5/5 stars
such a cute and sweet little book. it reads like a journal and it’s very comforting. uses a lot of cliches and the dialogue is unnatural, specifically with how quickly the therapy sessions move, but it was still effective, relatable and honest. i loved the illustrations, especially the colored pages of the sky. beautiful messaging. i’m glad this book is out there. i would be careful when reading it though if you have a history of depression/anxiety
