Jenny Lawson is the QUEEN of saying too much, and then saying something even worse. And that is why I adore her

The Tools and Tricks That Kept Me Alive, Happy, and Creative in Spite of Myself

Warm, insightful, and witty, the first book of advice from New York Times–bestselling author Jenny Lawson—aka the Bloggess 
 
Jenny Lawson is full of contradictions. She’s a celebrated author but battles self-doubt, paralysis, and anxiety. She’s an award-winning humorist but struggles with treatment-resistant depression. The question she’s most often asked by people is 'How do you do it? How do you keep going even when it feels impossible? How do you keep creating?' This book is her answer. 
 
In How to Be Okay When Nothing Is Okay, Jenny shares one hundred humorous, heartfelt, and genuine tools and tricks that she relies on to keep her going even when her brain isn’t working properly due to depression, anxiety, and ADHD. She also offers tips to stay passionate and focused on creative endeavors, especially when everything around you is saying to give up.
