 ition of Allie Brosh and Roz Chast\, award-winning popular cartoonist\, 
 writer\, and illustrator Gemma Correll's humorous and poignant graphic m
 emoir about her lifelong struggle with severe anxiety. In 2018\, award-w
 inning cartoonist\, writer\, and illustrator Gemma Correll had a panic a
 ttack that lasted for weeks on end. Unable to do much more than walk aim
 lessly through the streets of Berkeley\, Correll admitted herself to the
  hospital to reckon with The Bad Feeling that had been her companion sin
 ce she was a child. In ANXIETYLAND\, Correll's ingenious and charming il
 lustrations lead readers through the amusement park in her own mind—feat
 uring severe anxiety\, depression\, agoraphobia\, and dissociation—a fri
 ghtening and darkly funny world that "feels like a place apart from 'rea
 l' life." A hilarious thrill ride exploring the mysteries of the mind-bo
 dy connection\, Gemma Correll's graphic memoir is shot through with the 
 absurd knowledge that there is no linear way through ANXIETYLAND\, nor a
 ny cure-alls—but there are ways to feel better if you keep trying to mov
 e forward. "Equ\n\nMore info: https://www.firstlightaustin.com/events/ge
