About this ebook
'A brilliantly honest reminder about how to control your online space and not let it control you' Emma Gannon, Sunday Times bestselling author
'Fiona writes about mental health with fearless honesty and a quick wit. So much will resonate with so many' Yvette Caster, host of Mentally Yours podcast
Fiona Thomas was your average '80s 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 and to find a career that made her happy.
Through her own experience at the time and with the benefit of hindsight, Fiona provides signposts for the reader to help them to understand:
· the importance of the right type of connection, both on and offline, not only with others but with oneself
· how connection can aid in recovery
· that finding the right career can help to enhance our wellbeing and mental health
· how and why purpose and wellbeing are interlinked.
Peppered with listicles, questions to ask yourself and key takeaways, Work it Out perfectly combines first-person lived experience with practical advice. Fiona shows us how to prioritize our mental health by finding the right purpose-centred career and how the internet has helped to make that possible.
