About this listen

“A deeply felt and surprisingly funny book (Roz Chast, #1 New York Times bestselling author) equal parts hysterical, heartbreaking, and hopeful” (Jenny Lawson, #1 New York Times bestselling author), Anxietyland is award-winning popular cartoonist, writer, and illustrator, Gemma Correll's graphic memoir debut chronicling her lifelong experience with anxiety and depression.

WELCOME TO ANXIETYLAND—“Gemma Correll perfectly captures the hunted animal feeling of being a depressed, anxious babe in a way that is so vulnerable and funny and good” (Samantha Irby, New York Times bestselling author).

In 2018, Gemma Correll had a panic attack that lasted for weeks on end. Unable to do much more than walk aimlessly through the streets of Berkeley, Correll admitted herself to the hospital to reckon with The Bad Feeling that had been her companion since she was a child.

With her ingenious and charming illustrations “bursting with personality...peppered with witty asides” (Publishers Weekly), Correll leads readers through the amusement park in her own mind—featuring severe anxiety, depression, agoraphobia, and disassociation—a frightening and darkly funny world that “feels like a place apart from ‘real’ life.”

A hilarious thrill ride exploring the mysteries of the mind-body connection, Gemma Correll’s graphic memoir is shot through with the absurd knowledge that there is no linear way through Anxietyland, nor any cure-alls—but there are ways to feel better if you keep trying to move forward.
