Biography & Autobiography. Literary Criticism. Psychology. Nonfiction. HTML:From acclaimed poet and creator of the popular twitter account @SoSadToday comes the darkly funny and brutally honest collection of essays that Roxane Gay called "sad and uncomfortable and their own kind of gorgeous."


Melissa Broder always struggled with anxiety. In the fall of 2012, she went through a harrowing cycle of panic attacks and dread that wouldn't abate for months. So she began @sosadtoday, an anonymous Twitter feed that allowed her to express her darkest feelings, and which quickly gained a dedicated following. In SO SAD TODAY, Broder delves deeper into the existential themes she explores on Twitter, grappling with sex, death, love low self-esteem, addiction, and the drama of waiting for the universe to text you back.


With insights as sharp as her humor, Broder exploresâ??in prose that is both ballsy and beautiful, aggressively colloquial and achingly poeticâ??questions most of us are afraid to even acknowledge, let alone answer, in order to discover what it really means to be a person in this modern world… (más)

Like the blurb by Roxane Gay mentions, So Sad Today is an uncomfortable read. It's honest and feels raw. I was comforted by it sometimes because I would say to myself "well, I'm not that bad". Then I would read something I related to and my anxiety would spike.

I'm glad I read it because i feel that we need to talk openly about mental health issues. However, Melissa Broder's essays are also a reminder that mental health issues vary widely and not all treatment options work for everybody. ( )

So Sad Today by Melissa Broder is collection of longer personal essays that are at times dark, funny, uncomfortable but ultimately REAL. While on a superficial level some of the topics may not seem to be speaking of much, but look a little deeper and you'll see she's talking about the bigger, more difficult concepts such as morality and identity. Some of these essays I feel as though I could have written myself and it was so comforting to know I'm not alone. The others were interesting even though I couldn't make a personal connection to them via my life. This book is an honest portrait of what it's like to be alive in these times, especially if you've every suffered from depression, anxiety, codependence or many other forms of mental illness.

Thank you Melissa Broder for this personal, raw look in to life behind the scenes, for discussing the topics others may not be brave enough to approach. ( )

A couple friends recommended this book to me and I am so glad I read it. Melissa Broder got right to my feels many, many times. This book was laugh out loud funny (best sexts I have ever read) and at times, disarmingly and painfully honest. I devoured this book. ( )

Truly loved this book. It's stunning, raw, honest and so real. My only regret is that I had a library copy and couldn't highlight copiously throughout. My favorite essay was perhaps "Google Hangout With My High Self," but all are quite brilliant. Impeccably written.

Convinced Melissa Broder is my spirit animal. ( )
