Summary

A shocking, heart-rending and blisteringly funny account of what it's like to live with mental illness, by a powerful new comic voice.

When Michelle Thomas suffered her first major depressive episode six years ago, she read and watched and listened to everything about mental health she could get her hands on in an effort to fix herself. God, it was tedious. And, quite frankly, depressing.

Which is the last thing she needed.

What she did need was a therapist who would listen and offer a wellness strategy catered to her specific needs. What she got was advice to watch a few YouTube videos and a cheerful reminder that 'it could be worse'.

An honest, hilarious and heart-rending account of living with mental illness, My Sh*t Therapist will help you navigate the world, care for your mind and get through sh*t diagnoses, jobs, medications, boyfriends, habits, homes and therapists.

You'll find no scented candles or matcha tea 'cures' for mental illness here. Instead, learn how a modern woman and her friends and followers navigate life with their brilliant but unpredictably sh*t brains.

Having a crappy mental health day? I've got you.
Want to chat antidepressants and breakdowns?
Pull up a pew and let's get into it.

Everyone should read/listen to this book

Michelle is amazing, she conveys exactly what we need to hear. this should be on the reading list for every therapist out there to help assist and guide those looking for help.
I laughed and cried, please never stop writing and sharing Michelle

Wonderful - from the heart

Having suffered from and seen others close to me suffer from mental health issues, so much of this resonated. Made me feel less alone and stronger. Michelle, you're a legend. Please write more. You're an inspiration (and a great narrator!)

fantastic

A heartfelt glance at one woman's experiences with mental illness, narrated by her own voice, and pleasantly theatrical at times. And personally, I found her Welsh accent to be absolutely delightful to the ear!

What a book!

This book is literally a life saver. If you’ve had depression, anxiety or actually just feel a bit low sometimes - with humour, insight and brutal honesty you’ll find not only yourself in this book but hope.

Thank you for finding the strength to give words to what so many of us feel and helping me to hold on

A must read! Absolutely brilliant,

Unread at first I was a little sceptical about reading this book. However I have absolutely loved it and especially being someone who currently is suffering with depression a lot of what is said felt like a light bulb moment where things I couldn’t understand now feel clearer. Thank you to the author for making this wonderful book.
