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

Product Information

I feel like he partly wrote this book to give others dealing with mental illness some hope that it can get better. Heartbreaking and very honest, this ‘ not a self help book ‘ details Joe’s descent into and emergence from addiction while battling with his mental health and suicidal state.

Toda noite ficava animada pra ler mais do livro e descobrir o que mais eu e o Joe tínhamos em comum. However, although he explains his mental health and BPD well, I found it hard to relate to many of the points, and because of this, some parts felt not relevant or repetitive. 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.Been reading this book for a while now - got it shortly after it was published and raced through the first half. Incredibly, he emerges from the darkness with a timeless tale of love, hope and redemption that will be of immeasurable help to people facing the most destructive demons and, crucially, everyone who loves them. So I bought it for my eReader and before too long I realized that this was not a BS account of someone's issues that I couldn't identify with or didn't give a crap about. Evidently the lockdown experience embedded with his girlfriend's family has been somewhat revelatory. No discussion of depression, suicide, or BPD would be uncomfortable for me because that’s my reality, much like the author’s.

I don’t have the words to explain how helpful it is to know that you’re not alone, that you’re not the only one to have a broken brain if i can say it like that.He doesn’t delve into where his BPD came from, although it’s fairly obvious his Mum and Dad weren’t Mr and Mrs Perfect Pants Parents. In his new book - Ten Things I Hate About Me: How to Stay Alive With a Brain That's Trying to Kill You - Joe Tracini shares his experiences of BPD and suicidal thoughts. Tracini was also very open and honest about his mental health during this time too and regularly posted videos about his struggles. That being said, I can honestly say, that this is one of the most raw and honest books I have ever read. Has someone who recently got diagnosed, I’m not at a stage where I’ve completely accepted it, but this book helped a lot.
