About this listen

 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.

at times I found it a bit shallow but most of the time it gave me real insight a d helped me to empathise with my depressive's husband behaviour. it also gave me a better understanding of timescale, made me realise everything with depression is subjective and recovery times are varied.

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!

This resonated with me more than I could imagine. It was like reading about my own experiences but explained properly. It made me feel I am not alone in this weird world. Hard to believe this is a first book. Loved it!! Thank you xx

Michelle is amazing, throughout the book it felt like we've had many coffees in cosy cafes talking through the trials and tribulations of mental health. If you're debating getting this book, don't. It'll be worth your time.

One of the best mental health books I've read
