«I'm Not as Well as I Thought I Was» is a memoir and mental health book by Ruby Wax, published by Penguin Life in hardcover (256 pages, in English).
Ruby Wax recounts her admission to a psychiatric institution in 2022 and reflects with honesty and rawness on trauma, her years of treatment, and the difficulty of maintaining sanity in a chaotic world. Her conclusion is that the greatest challenge is facing oneself, and she writes with the hope that no one feels alone in that struggle.
Framed in the categories of memoir, mental health, and self-help, it was a Sunday Times bestseller in May 2023.
For those seeking an honest testimony about mental health and facing their own emotional difficulties.
Ruby Wax is an American-British actress, comedian, writer, television presenter, and mental health campaigner. A classically trained actress, Wax began her career performing with the Royal Shakespeare Company, before co-starring on the ITV sitcom Girls on Top (1985–1986). She came to prominence as a comic interviewer, playing up to British perceptions of the strident American style on television shows including The Full Wax (1991–1994), Ruby Wax Meets... (1994–1998), Ruby (1997–2000), and The Ruby Wax Show (2002).
