The first time I thought I was dying by Sarah Walker

challenging emotional informative reflective tense medium-paced

3.75

Really resonated with a lot of the reflections on mental health, emetophobia, and the mysteries of the human body. Had to somewhat skim the chapter on self harm though, I'm terrible with blood.
