My Sh*t Therapist

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 depressing. Which is the last thing she needed. What she did need was a therapist who would listen and a strategy catered to her needs. What she got was advice to watch a few YouTube videos and have a cup of tea when having a panic attack, along with a cheerful reminder that “it could be worse.” My Sh*t Therapist is an honest, hilarious, and heart-rending account of living with mental illness, helping you navigate the world, care for your mind, and get through sh*t jobs, medications, relationships, 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.
