Everything Is OK

Product Information

Even when we feel powerless in the face of huge challenges, we can remember that our individual actions can make the world better. As someone that has also struggled with depression off and on throughout life, I found this very relatable and I think that Tung is really wonderful for being able to be so upfront with her own life as a way to reach others and help them through hard times and remember that they are not alone. Mahatma Gandhi once said, “ When I despair, I remember that all through history the way of truth and love have always won. The acclaimed novel "To Kill a Mockingbird" by Harper Lee incorporates the phrase " Is everything okay?

However, this doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t take care with how you speak to your siblings, cousins, or parents. There are a lot of great messages about recognizing the problem, seeking help, and keeping with it too. Even though you may be looking for alternative ways to say, “it’s going to be okay,” be careful when and how you use that specific statement. Anyway, what I found when I approached Everything Is OK was a beautifully illustrated and deeply personal story.But then there are times when it feels like your own self is trying to sabotage you no matter what you do, even sabotaging your drive to do something about it. I like that it can be a good way to introduce people who don't have these things to mental illness and the stigma around it. You probably don’t speak the same way to your client, coworker, or boss as you would to a family member or friend.

Your ancestors may have gone through depressions, world wars, famines, or major accidents and survived to tell their stories. While the world is far from perfect, the world is a better place for the greatest number of people than at any time in history. As someone who has taken a long time to be (somewhat) comfortable in her own skin, I, once again, found myself enamoured with her words and her thoughts.

She hopes to encourage readers to be kinder to themselves, to know that they are not alone, and that it’s okay to be vulnerable because they are not defined by their mental health struggles.

The phrase likely evolved from general interrogative statements used to inquire about someone's well-being or situation. Debbie honestly portrays all that she felt during the dark days when depression took over – feelings of inadequacy, not wanting to get out of bed, not being able to speak for herself, imposter syndrome, social anxiety,… Outwardly, she still went, “Everything is ok/fine”, but inwardly, she was floundering. If anyone can offer you reassurances that things will indeed be “okay,” we would hope it would be your spouse or partner. This book is super handy for anyone who is having a hard time with their mental health and is not sure whether they need professional help or not. Overall, I found it to be uplifting, and it may be helpful to people who are dealing with these issues.

Overall a relatable comic, if not necessarily helpful for my own journey through mental health, and the art clearly took a lot of investment. With this book, Debbie ventures into more personal territory, as it describes her struggles with anxiety and depression.If your coworker or boss is experiencing personal stress or tragedy, they may not be able to concentrate well enough on work to understand what needs to be done while they are out. I know it surrounds depression and anxiety (of which I have both) but I also read so much more into some of these illustrations that heavily related to my ADHD. While I appreciate Tung sharing her deeply personal mental health journey and advice with all of us, this was… really repetitive, almost trite sounding at times, and kind of a slog. It's done well enough, but at this point I have read so many autobiographical graphic novels about anxiety and other mental health issues, it is hard to stand out in the crowd.
