This isn't a self-help book. But I hope it will support you anyway.

Beginning as a therapeutic exercise that was never supposed to be read by anyone else, the Down Days blog attracted readers from across the globe with its blunt, honest and poignant description of what it's really like to live as a creative with depression and anxiety.

Down Days tells it like it is; breakdowns, anxiety loops, awkward social situations, out-of-touch doctors and perceptive counsellors; what it feels like to lose everything, including yourself, and how it changes you.

But this book also proves that you can make it through, and that you aren't alone.

Filled with pop culture references and dark humour, Down Days is an essential read whether you live with mental health issues or love someone who does.
