Ten Things I Hate About Me: The instant Sunday Times bestseller

Product Information

In this book I want to try and explain what life is like when you have a brain that is essentially trying to murder you every day. Not only is this book moving but I feel it will be educational not only for those without the illness, but for those with it to know that it’s okay to feel these things.

In his new book, Joe continues the conversation in a bid to both raise awareness and stay accountable for his wellbeing. Talking about the bad things you've done, mental illnesses you may have and your lowest points is possibly the most difficult thing for anyone to do. But if there is even the smallest chance that me telling you how I live with me helps you live with you; if it opens up a space for someone, somewhere to be more honest about their mental illness, it will have been worth it. Well, we talked about getting a rabbit and that’s quite long term, because we haven’t got a garden yet!

Having Holly in my life has made me feel more capable of some sort of future, though I can’t think long term. Trying to fix my broken brain by writing a gratitude list is like trying to remove a tumour with a fucking spoon. This book is brutally honest and not an easy read but like Joe it’s full of love, humour and ultimately hope. His videos on his mental health are not silly joy and they are not captivatingly cringy, but they do manage to be serious, informative and funny. I’ll start by saying that this book is a very heavy read, and as Joe points out, if you’re not ready to read this book or easily triggered then please don’t read it.

It doesn't just make an argument for honesty, it makes one for kindness and understanding (without ever taking them for granted). At all the parts where you could hear the in emotion in his voice, and hear him sobbing as he narrates some of most difficult stuff in the book makes me just want to give him a big hug. Most people with BPD are undiagnosed as it takes a pretty serious crash to sit up and think: hey, something’s not quite right here.Foi ótimo me sentir acolhida e abraçada por alguém que também se sente a pior pessoa do mundo na maior parte do tempo.
