In her new memoir about depression Jessica Holmes takes us on her journey from successful performer to someone who was basically living the life of a house cat. She muses about the chicken and the egg of depression, living on the sofa (which now looks like a tornado hit a 7-Eleven), her kids' take on the perks of having a depressed mom: "We don't have to clean up anything. Yesterday the cat barfed and Mom just put a cushion on it and went back to playing on the iPad!", the obnoxiousness of anti-depressant commercials: "I never noticed the ocean before." She shares her two cents on how to play it cool when your medication makes you hear Kate Hudson's voice, and why you don't sneak elk pepperettes into the movies. Whether you have suffered from depression a little ("I get sad every January") or a lot ("My psychiatrist doesn't have a name for what I've got") or maybe you just think real life calls for levity and understanding, this tale of perseverance is for you!
