Description: Joyce writes about her current mental health, referencing her childhood in patriarchal, white South Dakota and her relationship with her family, especially mother. She discusses her experiences with breast cancer, depression, racism and purse-clutching, including an affirmation of shit-talking as a form of resistance. There is a page on positive self-talk using dialogue from an episode of "The Simpsons," and a list of video/online game recommendations.  The full-color zine is hand-written and illustrated in marker and pen. One page of text is written on an anxiety event risk assessment worksheet.
Notes: Gift of the author, donated at the NYC Feminist Zine Fest in 2015.
