It's the same reason they tell you not to make a big change or financial decisions for a year after losing a loved one.

You are in a vulnerable state and can make bad decisions easily.

essays by Melissa Broder.

Some are about depression, some about other topics.

She reports all this through the lens of a wickedly funny sense of humor, which helps.

Sample titles of her essays:

"Honk if There's a Committee in Your Head Trying to Kill You;"

"The Terror in My Heart Says Hi;"

and

"Under the Anxiety is Sadness but Who Would Go Under There."

She's an amazing writer, my latest fave rave.
