In 'im fine' Matt Shaw described what he went through, on a daily basis, as he struggled to cope with having to live with depression (a sign of weakness according to a close family member). He detailed his experiences with mood swings, medications, cognitive behavioural therapy, self-prescribed drugs and more - all the time giving personal insight into his life. Here, in 'Still Fine', he continues sharing his story and experiences. This book (filled with fun anecdotes, whacky cartoons and twisted photographs as well as the humour which made 'im fine' a success) isn't a self-help guide but it does show fellow sufferers of mental illness that they're not alone. 'Brutal, funny, inventive, touching, and absolutely awe-inspiring. Without a doubt the best piece of work I've read in years.' - Craig Saunders, author of Rain and The Walls of Madness.
Author
Biography MATT SHAW was born, quite by accident (his mother tripped, he shot out) September 30th 1980 in Winchester hospital where he was immediately placed on the baby ward and EBay. Some twelve years later (wandering the corridors of the hospital and playing with road kill when he was on day release), the listing closed and he remained unsold, he was booted out of the hospital to start his life as a writer and hobbit – beginning with writing screenplays and short stories for his own amusement before finally getting published when he was twenty-seven years and forty-five seconds old. Once Published weekly in a lad's magazine with his photography work, Matt Shaw is also a published author and cartoonist. Has to be said, can be a bit of a flirt and definitely, without a shadow of a doubt, somewhat of a klutz. Favourite books "Roald Dahl's Collection of Short Stories" Tim Burton's Melancholy Death of Oyster Boy Anything, really, written by himself. Because he is that good.
