The support he has received since being open about his disability is heart-warming illustrated here with various tweets and comments from others. At his worse he contemplated ending his life and so here he returns again and again to the theme of coming up with reasons to stay alive or “reasons to live” some of which are mundane but more often they are profane and touching. Many may belittle or under estimate the impact of depression and anxiety but it is made clear that these are very serious and in combination often deadly.
Told with a dry whit in short chapters Haig attempts to describe exactly what it was like for him during his bouts of depression which is enlightening for those who have never had such an experience. In “Reasons to Stay Alive” he explains how he was first diagnosed and how he ended up coping with these disorders. Matt Haig suffers from both depression and anxiety.
