She feels persistently low, anxious, endlessly self-doubting, but also highly judgemental of others. She hides her feelings well at work and with friends; adept at performing the calmness, even ease, her lifestyle demands. The effort is exhausting, overwhelming, and keeps her from forming deep relationships. This can't be normal.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBut if she's so hopeless, why can she always summon a desire for her favourite street food, the hot, spicy rice cake, tteokbokki? Is this just what life is like? Recording her conversations with her psychiatrist over 12 weeks, Baek begins to disentangle the feedback loops, knee-jerk reactions and harmful behaviours that keep her locked in a cycle of self-abuse.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold a-text-italic\"\u003eI Want to Die but I Want to Eat Tteokbokki\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e is part memoir, part self-help book, a book to keep close and to reach for in times of darkness.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CGA Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42816798163029,"sku":null,"price":2690.0,"currency_code":"LKR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0614\/9642\/6581\/files\/71EPew6p9mL._SL1500.jpg?v=1785682486","url":"https:\/\/cgabooksonline.com\/products\/i-want-to-die-but-i-want-to-eat-tteokbokki-by-baek-sehee","provider":"CGA Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
