When Samantha Schutz first left home for college, she was excited by the possibilities -- freedom from parents, freedom from a boyfriend who was reckless with her affections, freedom from the person she was supposed to be. At first, she reveled in the independence . . . but as pressures increased, she began to suffer anxiety attacks that would leave her mentally shaken and physically incapacitated. Thus began a hard road of discovery and coping, powerfully rendered in this poetry memoir.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><b>Praise for <i>I Don't Want to be Crazy</i>: </b>An ALA Quick Pick for Reluctant Young Adult ReadersVersifying a novel takes craft and dedication.
