So Sad Today: Personal Essays

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 explores — in prose that is both gutsy and beautiful, aggressively colloquial and achingly poetic — 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.
