Don't Need Me.
this is all too muchi can't handle existingdon't need me todayFinding the strength to not only go on through mental illness but also grow, change, and come out a better person is not easy. It's a lifelong battle. Sometimes you just need to not be needed while you work on yourself. Sometimes you just need a little space and quiet. And sometimes you need poems to show you you're not alone in this struggle. This book is a companion to the first mental health haiku collection from Jamie Winters, i'm fine. The poems in this collection take an even deeper look at some of the concepts from the first collection, exploring even more on the subject of mental health. However, you don't need to read the first collection to understand the poems in this book.The brevity of haiku makes it possible to digest hard subjects like trauma, depression, and anxiety in small, bite-size portions. The 144 haiku in this collection can easily be read one by one over an extended period, or all at once. This collection was made to bring together those affected by mental illness, whether you're someone trying to understand a loved one's experience or someone surviving mental illness yourself. You are not alone.
