When those thoughts hit and you start thinking how you should do it, where, will it work, what if I stuff up then I’m more damaged? He tackles the issues of suicidal thoughts and tendencies and how scary it can be, nobody wants to talk about that right? But we need to. He breaks it down into simple formats, like lists of what you feel like on a bad day or what you are thinking and it's all stuff that NONE of the other books cover, it's really genuinely what is going on in your dark mind. Matt so simply explains how it feels, he is so darn honest and all of what he says is true (trust me I know). Never more timely to get yourself this book. I first read this and reviewed back in 2015 and I decided to read it again this year (2021) as my depression has escalated as has my anxiety during the fear of COVID and isolating lockdowns. This book should be given or bought by EVERYONE battling depression, or has a loved one battling it. No psychobabble here (from Psychologists who have never experienced depression) - just real raw telling of Matt Haig's journey with the dreaded black dog. FINALLY! A real book about depression that makes sense, that those with depression will read and sit nodding their heads and agreeing all the way through it.
