I don’t feel comfortable rating this book because it’s obviously autobiographical and extremely personal to the author.
However, while I can’t say I enjoyed the book - who can comfortably say they enjoy reading about depression and anxiety? - I found it relatable in so many aspects.
I liked how Debbie Tung made sure to explain that mental illness isn’t something to be ashamed of and that people who objectively have perfect lives aren’t immune to it either.
So… this was good.

I want to thank Netgalley for the chance to read this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I cried so much while reading this graphic memoir. I felt every emotion come off the page and related to most of them: fear, anxiety, depression, and hope. It's an amazing and relatable journey that will have you thinking "I'm not alone anymore". I'm definitely buying a physical copy of this when I can. It's beautiful and wonderful.

I feel like this comic did a great job in showing us what it feels like to be overwhelmed and stressed about the littlest things in our lives and I could personally relate to this issue that is raised in the our society today.

The creator has a nicely crafted illustration style and I have enjoyed her other publications. This collection of comics tackles mental health and is more somber in tone. Her depictions of depression and anxiety capture a wide range of experiences and perspectives, while demonstrating the nonlinear nature of mental health treatment.

Thank you to NetGalley, the publisher, and the author for the ARC!

A intimate, powerful glimpse into the life of someone suffering from depression and anxiety. As a person who also suffers from depression and anxiety, I've uttered many of the same things to myself that Debbie does. It is very comforting to not feel alone. The colorful illustrations are extraordinary and do an excellent job of showing moments of peace and clarity.

This is a deeply personal book about the author's experience with depression and anxiety. The book works well when she talks about her life and what she has found useful for taking care of her mental health. However, there are times when it can come across as a bit preachy. I would have preferred if the book had stayed more personal instead of trying to give so much advice. Overall, I enjoyed seeing the author's recovery, the way she learned to be more compassionate towards herself and the hope she found for the future.

This was an extremely heartfelt read as I couldn't stop thinking about my past self dealing similarly with depression, struggling days on end in the head but still hoping something good to come out of all of it. Debbie Tung has beautifully brought out her life story in a way that is so beckoning. The interactions with the therapist were just (Italian chef's kiss GIF).

I got an advanced copy of this book through NetGalley.

The content in this book is extremely relatable, and yet, even though it deals with depression and anxiety, it's really hopeful.

This book was a graphic memoir of the author sharing her past experience with depression and anxiety. It is a beautiful and touching book that might inspire a lot of readers and made them feel better and hopeful. The art was great and the colors made the character's emotions expressed in each panel palpable.
It is just a nice message for people who are suffering from mental health that asking for help is not a sign of weakness, that it's fine not feeling alright and that things always get better by the end, so be strong and fight for your happiness and your life in general.

I found the majority of Debbie's graphic memoir incredibly relatable, and found myself nodding along, and saying, "YEP! That's totally me." quite often as I read it. The depression and anxiety frames were really well done and perfectly illustrated. I did, however, find it to be a bit repetitive, especially in the last 1/4 of the book.

This comic feels like a memoir, a therapy session, and an empathetic hug all in one. The way the author describes and draws her experiences of depression reflect the many emotions beyond the word ‘depression’, the guilt, the embarrassment, the loneliness, the despair. The author also describes how the experience changed for her as she had to intentionally retrain her brain’s process of self-deprecation and training herself to do things differently, that don’t fix the problem, but rather ease the problem. The art is beautifully done and the story is wonderfully told.

Thank you to Netgalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing for an ARC of this title.

What an absolute delightful hug of a graphic novel. I would highly recommend to anyone who deals with mental illness or has loved ones in their life that deal with mental health ups and downs (AKA everyone).

This book was eloquent, and beautifully illustrated. It detailed the experience of someone dealing with anxiety and depression so well!

Thank you to the publisher and to NetGalley for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Everything is OK is a graphic memoir by Debbie Tung that explores the author’s experiences living with anxiety and depression. This is the third book I’ve read by this author and I really enjoyed this one. I can definitely relate to some of the situations in this graphic memoir since I’ve struggled with anxiety and depression for most of my life. I felt like I was reading about my own life in parts of this book.

I also loved Tung’s artwork and the pretty watercolor backgrounds in some of the panels. I would definitely recommend this graphic memoir and I look forward to reading this author’s next book.

3.5/5 stars
such a cute and sweet little book. it reads like a journal and it’s very comforting. uses a lot of cliches and the dialogue is unnatural, specifically with how quickly the therapy sessions move, but it was still effective, relatable and honest. i loved the illustrations, especially the colored pages of the sky. beautiful messaging. i’m glad this book is out there. i would be careful when reading it though if you have a history of depression/anxiety

This is the authors story of her depression and anxiety and how she got past it. I hope it helps others feel so not alone.

When I saw that Debbie Tung had a new graphic memoir out, I knew I wanted to check it out because I had previously enjoyed her book, Quiet Girl in a Noisy World.

Everything is Ok is the author’s exploration of her struggle with anxiety and depression. Her illustrations are gorgeous. Tung is exceptional at depicting her feelings in her artwork. She expresses many sentiments that are relatable to people with mental health issues.

The book does an excellent job of showing the process of dealing with depression and anxiety in a hopeful way. Overall, I found it to be uplifting, and it may be helpful to people who are dealing with these issues.

From someone who suffers from anxiety and depression i felt this was a good representation of what we go through, especially to help people who don't experience these things understand the people who do.

I could related so sooo much to this book. 😭 Dealing with anxiety and depression is really hard -- it feels as if the world is about to end and you can't see the light at the end of the tunnel. With everything going on around the world, I feel that this book is very important to let people know you're not alone, and you can get through this. I've been following Debbie's work since forever and she never ceases to amaze me. Rating: 5/5 stars.

This comic memoir is first of all so stunning! The art is just amazing and I really like how the author and illustrator shows the anxiety and depression through the art. And the message behind the comic is also a beautiful message and feels like such a “warm hug” (if that makes sense) for us who has been through similar things as the illustrator.

This memoir not only made me feel heard but it also made me feel like I wasn’t alone and also had some tips on how to handle things like anxiety and to take a break sometimes to recharge. Which is something a lot of people who are struggling with similar things needed to hear. Not only that, but the memoir also told the reality of struggling with mental health issues in a non-triggering way which is a huge plus for me.

Highly recommend reading this!

Thank you Netgalley for the Ebook ARC. I truly appreciate it. The book discusses the importance of mental health and mental illness. The artwork was beautiful and the prose was beautiful.
