Are there any good books about a character who suffers from extreme anxiety?

I'm sorry about your situation anon

>> No.15955812

I almost hope not because I would feel compelled to read it out of sheer curiosity and I fear that I would adopt the anxiety portrayed as a persona. Yes, I'm anxious about becoming too anxious.

Then again a proper illustration of it would give me the tools to combat that anxiety so I hope there is.

The Death of Ivan Ilyich by Leo Tolstoy fits the bill, as does his short story "The Diary of a Madman." The latter is unfinished, but it still has a resolution of sorts, and is well worth reading. I also recommend St. Augustine's Confessions.

Legosi isn't anxious. He's just horny and too much of a prude to give himself an outlet despite that literally three of his closest friends all wanting to fuck him.

I don't know if you're caught up in the manga, but at this point he's lost any anxiety and fully accepted his innate autism. In fact most characters are now autistic
The manga takes a severe dip in quality after the Tem's Killer arc. At this point I just read to watch the wreck

Welcome to NHK. Helped me to start getting my shit together. You should also watch the anime. It's very good and stays true to the OG source material for the most part.

Legosi? Yeah he's the MC
I hope the anime ends at S2 to save it from the absolute stupid shit that happens, like (spoilers, duh):

Legosi talking to a shark to outsmart the lion mafia
Legosi answering a quiz show on societal norms in order to enter the black market fighting tournament
Haru cheerfully agreeing to let herself be eaten by the antagonist for SOME FUCKING REASON
Antagonist becoming suddenly muscular after a bad dream
Legosi pulling out all his teeth to fight a horse, only for them to grow back when he chases a rabbit with big tits
And, most recently dressing up as a woman to fight a female fox in the black market tournament
It's at least a fun trainwreck

I know I'm up to date. It really is fucking sad. The beginning was one of the best things I've ever read and now it's a cringe compilation.
It went from touching me deeply to tucking disgusting. Paru said she didn't know what to do after the final killer arc. At this point she was already deep in the business and had to make weekly releases. I think that fucked it up.
>Do you remember his fur going white because he though he killed haru? And it was fucking ketchup. Thats shit.
