My Sh*t Therapist: & Other Mental Health Stories

This is not a story about breakdown and recovery. This is a story about the day-to-day reality of living with depression and mental illness. When Michelle Thomas suffered her first major depressive episode in 2013, she read and watched and listened to everything she could get her immaculately-manicured hands on in an effort to fix herself. God, it was tedious. Painfully earnest, bone-dry material, that read more like messages of condolence than support. Frankly, it was depressing, which is the last thing she needed. Now, this is her riposte. My Shit Therapist is an honest account of living with mental illness, which mimics the frank, honest and - dare we say - funny interactions Michelle has had with her friends and followers about madness, medication, and making the most of a misbehaving brain.
