Terrible, Thanks For Asking

Overthinking About You

Allison Raskin was just 4 years old the first time she told her parents she wanted to die. Within weeks, the preschooler was diagnosed with obsessive compulsive disorder and depression. In this episode, we talk with Allison and her mother Ruth about raising a child with severe mental illness and what Allison’s world looks like today as an adult living with OCD. You can buy Allison’s book <a href="https://www.indiebound.org/book/9781523513222">“Overthinking About You”</a> at your favorite book place.TTFA is coming to your city October 7th - 22nd with an all-new live show experience, and tickets are on sale now! <a href="https://ttfa.org/live-tour">Get yours here.</a>Support our new independent production (and get bonus content galore!) by joining TTFA Premium. <a href="https://www.patreon.com/ttfa">Sign up.</a>Our email subscribers get first dibs on ticket sales, new merch, show announcements and more. <a href="https://noraborealis.ck.page/ttfa">Join our mailing list here.</a> <a href="https://www.ttfa.org/episodes/overthinking-about-you">Read the episode transcript here.</a>Our social media:<a href="http://instagram.com/ttfapodcast">TTFA on Instagram</a><a href="http://facebook.com/ttfapodcast">TTFA on Facebook</a>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.

It's a question we ask (and get asked) all the time: “How are you?” And normally we just respond with “Fine!” even if we’re totally dying inside, so everyone can go about their day.
But it’s not always all that fine, is it?
“Terrible, Thanks For Asking” is a show by author Nora McInerny that lets real people get real honest about how they’re really doing. It’s sometimes sad, sometimes funny, and almost always both. A production of Feelings &amp; Co.
