Anxietyland

'A deeply felt and surprisingly funny book about what it's like to live with the feeling that disaster not just could, but probably will happen at any second. Inhabitants of Anxietyland will relate, and so will everyone else. A great book' Roz Chast

Come and join us in the magical world of Anxietyland, a theme park like no other. Here, there's so much to see and do: revel in the ups and downs of the Worry-Go-Round, feel the twists and turns of the Anxie-tea cups, and take a scenic ride on the Emotional Roller Coaster to Hangxiety Falls. There's no better place for making new friends, enjoying world-class entertainment, from the Parade of the Therapists to the Magical Thinking Show, and making memories that you'll never forget - even if you want to!

In Anxietyland cartoonist, writer, and long-time-anxious-person, Gemma Correll takes us on a riotous journey through her struggles with anxiety, to the desperate search for relief and finally to the realization that it really is possible to feel OK again. Because sometimes, when you’ve tried every remedy, all you can do is laugh.

Equal parts hysterical, heartbreaking and hopeful. A beautifully illustrated example of the power of sharing authentic stories of mental health
