Brilliant
This is brilliant! The writer uses humour in all the right ways, giving an accurate and true account of the realities of health anxiety. 100% recommend.
Amusing but not much help
Enjoyed the book it was like I’d written it myself however it doesn’t really tell you how to get well. Cbt is mentioned but that didn’t work for me I was hoping for some techniques I suppose.
Beautiful, relatable, eye opening. But short.
Although it is a short account of this incredible authors struggles with Health Anxiety, it’s very, very relatable.
It offers great tips and advice and shares many personal stories I feel others are currently going through right now, myself included.
Thank you for this. I will certainly recommend it to others. Worth every small penny.
