    What did you think of hyperbole and a half? I haven't really met anyone who read it. I read it when I was undergoing a major depressive episode and I feel like it did kinda help. But I don't remember much

    Basically the same, I read it and it helped me process. I reread it more recently and related to the final chapters about identity. It was also just really funny, I'm basically always thinking 24/7 about the party chapter which was taken from the blog.

    It's just really funny, whimsical, and insightful beyond any expectations. Definitely worth rereading imo
