So Sad Today
Melissa Broder had always suffered from anxiety. She went through a horrible cycle of panic attacks and dread that lasted months in the fall of 2012. So she started @sosadtoday, an anonymous Twitter stream where she could vent her worst emotions and soon attracted a committed following. Broder delves deeper into the existential themes she discusses on Twitter in So Sad Today, dealing with sex, death, love, low self-esteem, addiction, and the drama of waiting for the universe to text you back.
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 truly means to be a person in this modern world, with insights as sharp as her humour.
