Do I have to go into detail?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBaek 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut 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?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRecording her dialogues with her psychiatrist over a 12-week period, 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 224\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublication year:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2025\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Baek Sehee","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46959812313142,"sku":"658","price":1150.0,"currency_code":"EGP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/diamond-pub.com\/products\/i-want-to-die-but-i-still-want-to-eat-tteokbokki","provider":"Diamond Pub","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
