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.

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!

WOW

Listening to Michelle for the last month has been heaven. Her words have truly caught my soul and I feel as though she has stepped into my mind and put all the crazy pieces into neat little boxes and given me the courage to face my demons. I don’t know what I’m going to do now it’s finished. Honestly one of the best pieces of art I’ve ever experienced. This book has now left an everlasting imprint on my heart. Thank you so much!

not what i was expecting but not bad either.

narrator was good but i lost track of her own personal stories and anocdotal ones, witch in turn meant i lost her journey and conclusion.
