I'm Not That Depressed: An Honest Account of (Ill) Health · Laura Rose ✦ Indie Paperback

This emotional, funny, and honest book introduces you to Laura: a woman who thought herself far too sensible to ever suffer from mental health issues, who just happens to find herself in the grips of depression.

In this memoir, the author describes her journey through depression: the denial, the ups, the downs, and the ugly truth of what it’s like to experience it. From the very beginning, she lets you in on what it feels like to live in a fog of depression.

The former scientist and counsellor shares with us the things which helped her through depression, where it all came from, and some of the things which really didn’t help. She looks with honesty at the pressures we face in modern society, and how it took both practical and mental changes to finally feel at ease with herself again.

Written how she speaks, it’s like sitting down to have a conversation with the author. Raw and honest stories, with no psychobabble,

Laying out her mental health issues for the whole world to see wasn’t what Laura Rose had on her ‘to-do’ list for life, but sometimes these things just…happen.

I’m Not Depressed shows us that sometimes, sharing the ugly truth that we think will drive people away and make them call us ‘crazy’ is actually the one thing that can make us feel like we’re not alone.
