A review by bookishlybouv
Hardcore Anxiety: A Graphic Guide to Punk Rock and Mental Health by Reid Chancellor

emotional hopeful medium-paced
I never give memoirs a star rating, but I just wanted to say how interesting and open Reid’s story is. I mostly read fiction, but while looking for books that my husband might enjoy in my library’s ebook collection, the title of this book really struck a chord with me. I am always drawn to stories of mental health - it’s something I’m incredibly passionate about, and I hope more people share their own journeys to help break the stigma that surrounds being mentally unwell. 

I am not big in the punk scene, but I saw some bands I recognized and was really glad to have an intro to others and how they set the stage for talking about mental health.

I appreciated the trigger warnings included - and the sentiment that while punk can open the door to seeking help, it’s you who has to walk through. Overall, I had a great time with this one.
