This book is gut wrenching. The powers  being a clear and amazing metaphor for depression and the things people do to make themselves numb to avoid dealing with their emotions. It’s sad that the journal only drive Syd deeper into her self destructive behavior. A behavior that everyone around her enables because they’re also self destructive, especially Stanley who clearly just wants to fit in and allows himself to be a laughing stock and be treated by garbage just so he has someone to cling onto. I feel bad for Dina as well, every character in this book battling their own issues but Syd’s being the main focus of the story.
Her killing herself at the end was heart wrenching.
and sadly it’s true to so many people who lost to their seemingly never ending battle. I struggle with depression too and I thought the inclusion of the powers was a very real way to represent it.

"I am not okay with this" is a graphic novel that sucks you in, and takes you on a rollercoaster of a journey, leading you to get off at the end wondering is this really the end of the ride? 
This graphic novel explores themes of trauma, control and self discovery through Sydney a 15 year old girl who's narration is filled with teen angst and nihilism.
