Holly Chisholm was diagnosed with depression and ADHD in December of 2016. Her therapist suggested she try journaling. She hates journaling. This comic was her compromise between drawing and journaling; it helped her record how she was feeling and work through some of the darkness. Holly currently live in Mesa, Arizona, with her boyfriend Matt and an ornery cockatiel named Larry.
"Chisholm’s graphic memoir about her battle to overcome panic and
gloom is told with an almost adorably cute sadness . . . This
is a sweet-natured, guardedly optimistic handbook for working
through the bad times with an occasional well-earned
laugh." —Publishers Weekly
"Just Peachy offers a delightful commiseration on the human
condition. It is cheerfully conspiratorial for those who share
the author's plight. It laughs in the face of existential dread.
A scrumptious treat made by a confectioner of emotional
distress." —Emily Niland & Coree Spencer, authors of I'm
Not Okay, You're Not Okay
“So brave of Holly Chisholm to share her struggles with mental
health issues through this creative medium. Just Peachy will
inspire others to connect to, navigate through, and recover from
their own day-to-day trials and tribulations of living with a
mental illness. Well done!” —Dr. Carlin Barnes and Dr. Marketa
Wills, authors of Understanding Mental Illness and founders of
Healthy Mind MDs
"A compilation of comics filled with cute drawings and funny
expressions. Just Peachy offers an honest and
courageous view into vulnerable topics that are sure to
resonate with readers." —Dante Fabiero, author
of Slothilda: Living the Sloth Life
"In this autobiographical collection of thoughtful and poignant
comic vignettes, Chisholm explores her experiences with depression,
anxiety, and love . . . This graphic novel will provide comfort and
information to both those who are dealing with similar issues or
those who know someone who is." —Booklist
