Welcome to Litsy!

Arising from the eponymous podcast, John Moe‘s semi-autobiographical account explores the origins of his depression while also discussing the universality of depressive thinking. Humorous yet incredibly touching.

A memoir of Moe‘s life struggle with depression, his many therapists and his brothers suicide. This isn‘t a self help book. It‘s just one guy and his life. It was relatable because Moe is always employed, has a family and is relatively successful. I can understand his life as depression takes many forms and can be hidden. But I didn‘t love it. It was neither negative nor positive and I suppose I wanted more hope maybe.

Current audiobook.

#mentalhealth #humor?

There‘s really nothing hilarious about depression. If humor is the vehicle to get people to open up and talk about it, there is value in it. This is the author‘s memoir detailing his battle with depression. He hosts a podcast by the same name that features some well-known people sharing their experiences. Some cleaver and witty phrases, but no laughs. Trigger warning ⚠️ : addresses suicide. 3/5🙃s

This book is a great read for anyone living with depression!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Absolutely love this💗makes so much sense. I feel like sometimes people who have nvr had/experienced Depression first hand(or at least been close with someone who has depression) don't understand why it's so hard for a person diagnosed w/ depression to be happy even if they have a lot of great things going for them. John Moe definitely did a great job of explaining it. I'm only 5 pages in & totally hooked on this book, tht is publishing in 2 days

Equal parts sobering, hilarious, and therapeutic! Definitely a book I‘d recommend for anyone with depression to give to someone to help them get a better perspective on what life with a mental illness can be like.

An eye opening look at what living with depression is really like with laughter thrown in.Perfect for those who live with this illness or who are lucky not to but are interested in their world.
