I never knew you personally but I am crying as I type this. ‘It’s Kind Of A Funny Story’ has helped me in ways I would have never imagined. You wrote so beautifully, and I felt connected to Craig is if he was a close friend of mine. The cycling, the anchors, the tentacles, and everything in between was worded in such a perfect way. Today in my english class, my writing prompt was to write about a book you think everyone should read. I wrote yours as my answer. And I meant it. Your book accurately depicts what it is like to fight your own mind everyday, and you covered a huge spectrum of mental illnesses, not just depression like most mental health books do. Speaking of fighting your own mind, I really wish that you would have never had to go through that. You were brilliant, Ned. It’s so unfair to me that your life had to end so soon and I wish you knew how many people were moved by your book and how it helped people better understand mental illness and helped those who struggle with it. I read your book in seven hours flat and it was entirely worth it. Thank you for sharing your story.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
