You Will Get Through This Night

For most of my twenties I experienced periods of feeling anxious and depressed. I found Dan's story relatable and it was comforting to hear someone talk so openly about their experiences with their mental health. I've been actively trying to better my mental health for a few years now, reading and watching multiple resources. This book is definitely one of the most concise and informative, including clear and easy exercises to help you cope with your mind right now and into the future.Next month I start a PhD in young peoples mental health, I will definitely keep this book as a reference for both myself and the young people that I work with in the future. In my opinion, this book needs to be made readily available in all secondary schools, I wish something like this was available to me.Thank you Dan for creating this, it's just what the world needs right now (and especially in the future as we try to start experiencing life post-pandemic).

Dan’s experience is a bonus, but the activities in this book were so useful it really helped me take control of my negative thoughts and anxieties.

I'm someone who has a habit of refusing to admit when I'm struggling until I've been reduced to a comatose emotional puddle. I've tried mental health guides before and usually get put off, whether that's because they talk down to me or because I can't stand the way they force me to confront my problems without actually offering me ways to improve.I'm about halfway through YWGTTN now and I'm already very impressed. This is the most practical mental health guide I've ever read, and I love the way it's broken down. Those moments at night where we're left alone with our thoughts really are the worst, so to have someone coaching me through those times with good humour and a kind of 'wake up, bitch' attitude is great. I respond best to sarcasm and jokes so the tone of this book is absolutely perfect for me.I'm finding the exercises very helpful, too. I feel supported, likeDan, I've been watching your content for about 10 years. I've laughed with you (and at you ngl) and related to you and cried with you. You and Phil still cheer me up like nothing else. To have this guide now, in all its self-deprecating wisdom, is amazing. I'm very proud of you. Well done, and thank you :)

the quality of the book physically is wonderful- crisp pages and a sturdy coverhowever the contents,,, mediocre at best.i’ve been diagnosed with clinical depression for 8 years and there’s nothing a person diagnosed with depression wouldn’t know that’s in this book. really overpriced as well.essentially, if you know the basics of depression/anxiety and know the basic tips on how to help yourself, you dont need this book.also, the author is not trained in helping patients at all- and they only asked one therapist to oversee their writing. so this book is not even something to be seen as totally clinically correctalthough, this book has made a great stand for my laptop so that’s a plus

A genuinely practical mental health guide. Will be especially helpful for fans of Dan Howell's content as his narrative voice and self aware humour is in every page which makes it entertaining and engaging to read in a way that most mental health guides never have been for me. The thing that surprised me was the sheer ground covered in a concise and accessable way - while I am someone who is familiar with the concepts covered, it was still useful to have these everyday useful techniques together with their justifications, along with someone talking about their journey relatably without a patronising manner. Even after finishing your first read, the book is designed to be used as a tool to assist you to get through difficult nights until you can learn more about yourself and why you are struggling, and then serves as an groundwork to figure out what you might need to do next.
