This is a very special chapbook I wrote after moving my mom into assisted living.

She was cool. I spiraled.

Am I Severely Depressed or Do I Just Need Taco Bell documents what helped me find myself again.

Anytime I’m feeling gray, I turn to these very personal lessons from life, therapy, Carrie Fisher, and at least one self-help guru from the 1980s.

I wrote it, printed it, folded it, stapled it, signed it, photographed it, and uploaded it for you.
