Mental health struggles are nothing to be ashamed of from "summary" of Wow, No Thank You. by Samantha Irby
It's so easy to feel like you're the only one struggling, isn't it? Like everyone else has their shit together and you're the one over here barely keeping your head above water.

Mental health struggles are nothing to be ashamed of. They're just a part of life, like getting a cold or breaking a bone.
