Collection: I Want to Die but I Want to Eat Tteokbokki

A viral sensation in the "healing essay" genre, topping global translation charts (especially in the UK/US). A raw psychological memoir structured as transcriptions between the author—who suffers from persistent mild depression (dysthymia)—and her psychiatrist. It documents the everyday contradictions of living with mental illness: feeling deeply inadequate while longing to be loved, and finding comfort in small joys like eating tteokbokki even on dark days.
