Fiona was your average 80's baby. She grew up without an iPhone, used actual landlines to make calls, and didn't have the luxury (or perhaps the curse) of Facebook during her adolescent years. But though her childhood took place in an analogue world, she found herself suffering from the same problems many young people face today; the race for perfectionism, high levels of anxiety, a fear of success. After an unfulfilling university experience, a stressful beginning in a management career, and a severe case of impostor syndrome, Fiona suffered a nervous breakdown in her mid-twenties. Amongst therapy and medication, it was the online community which gave Fiona the comfort she needed to recover. In Depression in a Digital Age, Fiona traces her life dealing with anxiety and the subsequent depression, and how a digital life helped her find her community, find her voice, find herself.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A witty and wonderful take to the memoir genre.
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 3 May 2022
    Verified Purchase
    I had followed Fiona for a while on Instagram before buying this and loved her content. She has always been very open and unapologetically herself with a good heart behind it. I knew then that her memoir would be an interesting and entertaining read and I certainly was not disappointed.

    Fiona hooked me instantly and I didn't want to put the book down. I read the entire book in two days because every spare moment I had, I needed to pick the book up and continue the story. As another small town Scottish girl who was born in the 80's also it was great to relate to Fiona and her story on so many levels. I laughed at things perhaps others wouldn't have laughed at, in fact, there were many chuckles while reading which once again shows how relatable the book is.

    The issue of mental health and mental breakdown is a very heavy subject but somehow, Fiona has tackled it in a way that makes it lighter for the audience, yet, you still can completely sympathise and resonate with what she is going through and see how difficult it was for her.

    I would recommend this book to everyone, especially if you are thinking about writing a memoir as it's a great example of the genre.

    5.0 out of 5 stars So close to the bone, it's hilarious!
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 16 December 2019
    Verified Purchase
    This book was a rollercoaster ride of emotion and humour that I had to put down a few times to wipe the tears away from my eyes (from laughing AND empathising). Not only did I grow up in the 90's without access to any digital media, I also grew up on the same street as Fi, the author, and remember absolutely everything that she writes about.

    This is a brutally honest view of how to navigate current times in our digital world, whilst living with mental illness and I'd highly recommend this to anyone (even if you are in good mental health). I could almost feel the highs and lows as I read the book (like I say, like a rollercoaster) and was left feeling uplifted, even if it was a little close to the bone sometimes!

    Well done Fi, I'm so proud of you.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A much needed addition to mental health literature
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 15 February 2019
    Verified Purchase
    Fiona has composed a fantastic personal account of her experience with mental illness whilst also making it relatable to the reader. The book provides a well balanced argument of the highs and lows of using social media whilst having depression. It can be both a source of support when you feel very much alone with your illness but also something we need to step away from when it all becomes too much. This book resonated with a lot of feelings I have had over the years. I felt empathy and sadness for what she went through, but I was also left chucking along at times. I highly recommend this book which will be relatable for a long time to come as social media continues to encroach upon our daily lives for better and sometimes for worse! A fantastic guide for navigating the pitfalls as well as riding the waves of positivity.

    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 3 June 2019

    When the media out there is telling us social media is bad for us, here comes a book that demonstrates that social media can have a positive effect.
    It’s due to Fiona Thomas’ raw honesty that her views carry the credence they do. Heartbreaking at times but never shying away from telling the full truth behind her struggles with mental health.
    The 90s nostalgia and listicles were fabulous in grounding the setting for this book. A reminder of simpler times maybe.
    I found it very easy to relate to this book regarding the mental health struggles. I was surprised at how it changed my mind on social media though- for the better.
    This book deserves to be read!

    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 5 March 2019
    Verified Purchase
    For some reason I expected this to be a 'how to' book. I'm struggling with my mental health (again) and looking for relief anywhere I can get it. Instead it is much more valuable because it explores personal experience and shows us that we aren't alone in feeling utterly low sometimes. Right now I can't bring myself to do very much but I could read this and I'm grateful for the sense of kindness and understanding Fiona created in retelling her story. I'd definitely recommend this lovely, lovely book.

    5.0 out of 5 stars An Honest Look At Depression In A Digital Age.
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 28 November 2018
    Verified Purchase
    Incredibly well written and achingly honest, I couldn't put it down. Fiona writes from the heart in a way that most authors might shy away from. In a time when mental health should be discussed openly, this is as real as it gets. Anyone who has ever suffered from depression, or knows someone who has, should give this a read.

    As someone who hasn't suffered with a mental illness; Fiona's honesty really helped me gain an understanding of not taking people at face value.

    An easy read, and essential if you want to gain an understanding of how you can support those around you in our digital age
