This is a book full of very honest and interesting reflections. Author Baek Sehee shares personal transcriptions of her therapy sessions as she grapples with her journey through anxiety and depression, and sprinkles in essays that reflect on these sessions and moments in her life.

I just finished the first book a couple days ago and I really love this self development book because... It's not give me a bright ending. It shows me that if you want to heal yourself, you need a time. It's okay at least you have a progress. Also one important thing is sometimes when you are on the way on healing, you can feeling bad again. But that's okay, that's also a progress. Don't give up on your healing session!.

That’s enough for me - why did I torture myself by comparing myself to someone else? If twenty-year-old me met me today, she would cry with joy. And that’s enough for me." The second book is no less attractive; very good! A follow-up story to the author's rehabilitation. Depresi atau distimia terjadi tak perlukan hal ekstrem untuk buat sesiapa alaminya. Boleh jadi hal yang tak mampu kita nyata/ekspresikan boleh bawa ke arah makin buruk lantas terjadinya masalah mental. Usah membandingkan 'kenapa dia ada masalah lagi besar dari saya tapi tak depresi pun tapi saya kena pulak'. Setiap manusia tak diuji sama begitu juga tak semua kekuatan kita juga sama. Berhentilah bagi kata-kata tersebut sekali dua tak apa tapi jika sering kali mahunya dia muak nak cerita lagi🙃 Yup!!! It turns out that the content of this book is more of a note or journal from the author after finishing a consultation with a psychiatrist. An essay that he wrote based on his own life story. How he - the author - struggles with his illness.

To learn about and imagine the emotions that I don’t understand or immediately empathise with: that is the affection I extend to others, and the only way to ensure that what’s inside of us doesn’t dry up or rot…’ Nonetheless, I am grateful to the author for so bravely, generously and candidly sharing her experiences through this book. May she, and everyone else, find their light within the darkness, their own reasons for living and happiness, even if it's as simple as a plate of tteokbokki.) Baek and I are clearly very different people with very different views. And I suppose I’m just the wrong reader for the book. I was defeated by my own high-ass expectations, and only have myself to blame. If you like Baek's book more than Kane's play, that's actually super good news for you. Buatku pribadi, buku "sulit" dituntaskan. Bukan karena nggak bagus, tapi sesi tanya-jawab penulis dan psikiater ini bikin perasaan nggak nyaman. Esai yang ditulis penulis ini mungkin sebenarnya dekat banget sama keseharian aku pribadi. Dan perasaan penulis yang dituangkan dalam buku ini mungkin merupakan pertanyaan-pertanyaan yang selalu ada di benakku. I had prayed for 2020 to start of well for me, but alas, January did not end as the best time for me. However, the presence of this book, the words and dialogues written by Baek Se-hee were able to help me cope with my own dark overwhelming thoughts. I didn't finish the book in one seating, it took a whole deal lot of times, but I am utterly grateful for it. I Want to Die but I Want to Eat Tteokpokki is the kind of book that I will keep very close to me, and will reach out to it again whenever I'm at my lowest.Having personally suffered from mental health issues myself, I was hopeful for this book. However, I found the writing disappointing, and the author immature, infuriating and insufferable. Some examples: Thank you NetGalley for the ARC of I WANT TO DIE BUT I WANT TO EAT TTEOKPOKKI by Baek Se-hee, a memoir/self-help book. I finished reading this book tonight, and while it wasn't what I expected, there were things about it that I enjoyed. The internationally bestselling therapy memoir translated by International Booker Prize shortlisted Anton Hur.

she got annoyed when female friends and acquaintances praised her for being pretty, yet got jealous and unhappy when men didn't compliment her on her appearances Buatku pribadi, buku kedua dari Baek Se-hee ini terasa lebih "intim" dibandingkan buku sebelumnya. Masih berisi percakapannya dengan sang psikiater, juga masalah penulis dengan distimia yang dia derita. i really enjoyed the first half of this book. the writing style is very blunt and straightforward which i found myself appreciating (for this topic) but i lost interest over halfway, for the same reason. it felt very repetitive and lost direction. it covered many topics such as depression, self-esteem, friendships/partners, etc. Das Buch beinhaltet den Dialog mit ihrem Therapeuten, sowie authentische und ehrliche Reflexionen über ihre eigene Person. Und genau das konnte mich absolut abholen und überzeugen. Das Geschriebene lädt zum Innehalten und Nachdenken ein. Es geht um das Ergründen der Ursachen von Gefühlen und alten Verhaltensmustern, die sie mit Hilfe der Therapie umpolen kann. perasaan yang aku alami saat membaca buku kedua ini berbeda dengan saat aku membaca buku pertama. Di buku pertama, aku merasa kalau aku gak sendirian dan cerita Baek Se Hee sedikit banyak memberiku harapan untuk mencari pertolongan. Di buku kedua ini, aku malah merasa bahwa dunia itu berat, bahkan bisa dibilang berat sekali untuk dijalani bagi orang-orang yang mengalami masalah mental seperti Baek Se Hee, untuk menarik napas saja rasanya sesak sekali. Buku kedua ini juga menyentuh sisi lain diriku yang awalnya aku pikir gak ada.

Sometimes writing things down and taking some time to reflect can help you understand them better.

Mencari pertolongan profesional adalah hal yang baik dan patut diapresiasi. Tak perlu mengucilkan orang lain yang sedang melakukan pengobatan dengan psikolog dan psikiater. Karena tidak sedikit orang yang masih meragukan keputusan ini. Padahal, dengan berkonsultasi dengan yang ahli, seseorang justru akan merasa lebih baik, bahkan bisa jauh lebih baik dibandingkan ketika ia masih baik-baik saja dan belum pernah konsultasi dengan profesional. Generally this book was pretty repetitive. Little progress was made and Baek needed lots of reassurance she was doing okay. It wasn’t gripping or exciting, but also, that’s what therapy is like. The literal Ctrl+C of the discussions you have with your psychiatrist do not hold any literary merit, which surprises me and puts into question the validity of creative writing courses in Korea. Did 언니 learn nothing? Jika siri 1 ada hal masih tak diluahkan kali ini hal sensitif pun diceritakan secara terang. Bagi sesetengah yang baca mungkin ada rasa agak terganggu.Ada part aku cemas saat penulis katakan perasaan ekstrem dia datang dan detik-detik fikiran dia waktu tu dan cubaan bunuh diri yang dinyatakan tanpa tapisan. Terkesan dengan kata-kata Doktornya rasionalkan balik penulis.Banyak hal terjadi pada penulis satu demi satu dibongkar sepanjang rawatan kali ni. Yang terkini + lampau semua terkait.
