I've just finished The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath. It felt like the book was reading me instead of me reading the book. It felt very.....validating?. Book felt very raw and honest after knowing how her life ended and knowing once I was headed to a similar end.
In my opinion, it's one of the most profoundly accurate portrayal of major depressive disorder out there. I think it was a great book but I'll probably never read it again.

Great comment. I read it as a teenager and it resonated with me. I've been thinking about reading it again. Thanks for sharing.
