A lovely chatty narrative tone. I didn’t love it, and definitely not amongst the best books on mental health I’ve read - the research and writing felt quite lazy at times. But offers some good strategies for living with panic.

This was super well written and uncomfortably relatable. I am constantly recommending it to people I am certain would benefit greatly from it.

Loved this one. Really helped me to understand my panic disorder. Have bought for myself and several friends since! Will recommend to anyone who suffers panic

Thank you for providing access to this book. I'll be reviewing/featuring this book separately from NetGalley as I have a physical copy.

I absolutely adore Claire Eastham. I read her first book and absolutely loved it! It is one of very few books I read during my mental breakdown that I felt really understood me. I have bought multiple copies and given them to friends who have gone through similar things, as well as family members to help them understand what going through anxiety and depression is really like and how they can support.
I have also spoken to Claire over social media on multiple occasions. She's bloody lovely!!

I have been waiting for Claire Eastham's second book for a long time now, and so was super excited to be given an advanced copy from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. It really does pain me to say it, but I didn't really like this book. It was very slow paced - it took me such a long time to get through, and I didn't feel excited or urged to pick the book back up after putting it down. I didn't connect with all of the anecdotes from Eastham's own life. I just didn't connect to this book as much as I did her first. Feel disappointed after waiting so long for this book.
I will continue to follow Clare on socials, and I will read any further books she releases after this - but this one just wasn't for me.

F**k, I think I'm Dying by Claire Eastham is partly memoir and partly self-help guide for dealing with anxiety and panic attacks.

A really brilliant look at panic disorder and anxiety from an accessible and humorous source.

As someone with lived experience in mental health, I really enjoyed the read and would recommend it to those who live with panic or love someone with panic.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher.

I am not normally an anxious person, but finding out you are pregnant in the middle of a worldwide pandemic can mess with your head and your emotions. When I saw this book, I thought it would be perfect to try and learn a bit more about dealing with my new anxiety.

Even though the author’s situation is completely different to mine, it was still relevant and I found the stories (both her own and the other contributors) very honest and helpful. There was a great mix of personal anecdotes and facts and information from psychologists and other health professionals.

I didn’t know what to expect from the book, but I found it very relatable and read it all in one sitting. I think it will be a valuable resource for many people, given that the current situation is causing more stress and anxiety than normal. It also put a lot of things into perspective for me – hearing about what the author struggles with on a daily basis made me realise that what I have been dealing with is very minor in comparison.

My favourite chapters were ‘Help! Educating Those Closest to Us’ and ‘Night Panic’. These were the chapters that were most relevant to me and gave me a lot to think about. However, for anyone wanting or needing to read this book, there will be chapters to help with whatever situation they need help with too.
