    I was reading Demon Copper Head. Even though I like the book, I gave up reading it because it was making me too stressed. I got up to the part where His asshole foster parents want him to "earn his keep" even though they get foster money for him. They starve him, make him sleep on a mattress, have a secret camera recording him, make him pick through trash for a meth lab thing, steal his money, and to top it all off, he gets bullied for smelling like shit all the time. Somehow I could handle his mom ODing on his birthday and the only people who love him telling him they don't want to adopt him. But this was too much.

    I ended up googling if the book had a happy ending, and reading some of the chapter summeries. I also couldn't finish Beserk and Breaking Bad for the same reasons. They were great stories, but reading them stressed me out and I found myself struggling to pick them up again.

    1. Frequently. I find I don’t enjoy cringe. Couldn’t get into Fawlty Towers back in the day for the same reason. Hilarious! SUPER stressful.
