RedPSYCHIATRIST: So how can I help you?ME: I don't know, I'm - what's the word - depressed? Do I have to go into detail?Baek Sehee is a successful young social media director at a publishing house when she begins seeing a psychiatrist about her - what to call it? - depression? She feels persistently low, anxious, endlessly self-doubting, but also highly judgemental of others. She hides her feelings well at work and with friends; adept at performing the calmness, even ease, her lifestyle demands. The effort is exhausting, overwhelming, and keeps her from forming deep relationships. This can't be normal.But if she's so hopeless, why can she always summon a desire for her favourite street food, the hot, spicy rice cake, tteokbokki? Is this just what life is like?Recording her conversations with her psychiatrist over 12 weeks, Baek begins to disentangle the feedback loops, knee-jerk reactions and harmful behaviours that keep her locked in a cycle of self-abuse. Part memoir, part self-help book, I Want to Die but I Want to Eat Tteokbokki is a book to keep close and to reach for in times of darkness.I Want to Die but I Want to Eat Tteokbokki comes in three different colours; the colour you receive will be chosen at random

I can't get enough of this app – it's a true game-changer for book lovers. 🎧 Audiobooks anywhere, anytime – this app's convenience is unbeatable! 🌟📚 I've listened to hundreds of audiobooks, and this one stands out for its professional quality. The narrator struck the ideal balance between dramatic interpretation and letting the text speak for itself. The audio engineering was superb with consistent volume levels and crystal-clear recording. Good but not great. The narration was competent but lacked the extra spark that makes some audiobooks truly special. Still worth a listen though. This served its purpose as background listening while I worked. I probably missed some details but the narrator's voice was pleasant enough.
