For my final paper i chose to write about “i do not want to be crazy” by Samantha Schutz. I chose to write about he book because there might be a possibility that what Samantha was going through during her college years i might experience something like that as well. Not for all but for many people therapy is a big issue. The question is: does therapy actually work?. I feel like in a way i could connect to Samantha’s story, now being that I’m heading to college and i too might not be used to the dramatic change coming my way, i might become a little crazy. In the book when Samantha started college she began to have anxiety attacks, she would vomit, she couldn’t hang out with friends, she felt like she was going crazy.She felt like she couldn’t do anything to help herself but to go to therapy. Everybody around her would just recommend therapy but it still wasn’t working. Small talks and prescriptions were all they gave her and she still felt like she was going crazy. Therapy could just be phycological. We think somebody is helping us but maybe their not, we are doing it all ourselves and we don’t even know it.Maybe it is true. Maybe talking to somebody about your problems and drinking pills can help you out. Before i graduated high school i had thoughts about how college is going to be.How will i handle things and how i obviously would handle being an adult. What if that drives me crazy. Who will i go to for help if therapy is something debatable on wether it is actually helpful or not.
