How We Survive Ourselves tells the stories of mental illness through the eyes of a man with dissociative identity disorder, a young woman with misophonia, a young woman with depression, the wife of the DID sufferer, and a therapist trying to help these characters cope. How We Survive Ourselves is meant to be a realistic picture of mental illness, but that does not mean there is no hope. Through the eyes of the characters and their experiences, a new sort of understanding develops. From the author of Acceleration and The World Breaks Everyone.Praise for Acceleration: "This book is so much fun. The character dynamics are amazing, keeping the drama to the max always. It's hard not to enjoy a book with the mafia and car races involved, not to mention murder and romance!" - Macie Gardner, The Editor With the Potter Tattoo
