The shame is something that’s difficult to shake off, and even now I still feel embarrassed to admit that I had a horrible time at school.
An Interview with Fiona Thomas, Author of Depression in a Digital Age
Fiona grew up in the 80s, a simpler time, perhaps, without Facebook, iPhones and presidents causing wars on Twitter. But by her mid twenties, she was caught up in a spiral of perfectionism, anxiety and depression - no longer able to function and signed off from work.

Turning to the internet for help, the digital world was a huge part of Fiona’s recovery and helped her to rebuild her life and regain her confidence.
Welcome to Zürich’s designated literary hotel, the B2 Boutique. This is somewhere that’s been on my literary travel bucket list for a very long time, and visiting was an absolute dream come true. I’m excited to show you around!
Upon entering the hotel lobby you’ll snatch your first glance of the B2 Boutique’s coveted library. The lobby area has lots of comfy seating options and doubles up as a large coworking space, making it a great place to grab an armchair and a coffee and get some work done, or just relax with a book.
