Melissa Broder always struggled with anxiety. In the fall of 2012, she went through a harrowing cycle of panic attacks and dread that wouldn't abate for months. So she began @sosadtoday, an anonymous Twitter feed that allowed her to express her darkest feelings, and which quickly gained a dedicated following. In So Sad Today, Broder delves deeper into the existential themes she explores on Twitter, grappling with sex, death, love low self-esteem, addiction, and the drama of waiting for the universe to text you back. With insights as sharp as her humor, Broder explores--in prose that is both ballsy and beautiful, aggressively colloquial and achingly poetic--questions most of us are afraid to even acknowledge, let alone answer, in order to discover what it really means to be a person in this modern world. Review: Grateful for Melissa Broder’s Raw Storytelling - First time reading MB and I am hooked, already craving more of her beautiful, raw prose. A relatable read. Depressing, but also deeply engrossing and unputdownable. SST allowed me to relate to a book like I have not been able to in a while. Felt like a needed venting sesh with a friend to me, where we bond over how messed up and simultaneously flawless and beautiful we are. If you are a fan of I’m Thinking of Ending Things, or anything by Otessa Moshfegh, you will love this excellent collection of personal essays. After this I am sure to delve into her fiction. Review: the best personal essay collection i have read to date. - i am absolutely in love with the personal essays presented in this book. i’m so amazed at how deep and profound broder went with sharing things that are so private and intimate. broder, which is @sosadtoday on twitter, has been by far one of my favorite twitter accounts for as long as i can remember, so reading a book she wrote felt like a honour that i’ve been waiting forever for and something very much needed. it’s a quick read but i devoured this book inside and out, reading it over and over again multiple times because i couldn’t get enough of it. the essays portraying broder’s depression are perfect and dark, yet the author’s humor brings a warm light to what would be a rather raw and just incredibly f***ing REAL book. i’ve never come across another book or author that describes experiencing these mental illnesses so perfectly and poetically. it’s a breath of fresh air and humongous sigh of relief. finally, someone understands me. and finally, i am not alone. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #303,175 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #887 in Essays (Books) #994 in Self-Help & Psychology Humor #1,090 in Author Biographies | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 1,188 Reviews | ## Images ![So Sad Today: Personal Essays - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61ara9euhEL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Grateful for Melissa Broder’s Raw Storytelling *by S***T on November 28, 2022* First time reading MB and I am hooked, already craving more of her beautiful, raw prose.
