While another post read: "He's talking about killing himself far too much, it's uncomfortable to watch. I am worried for this young man." There’s no better way to put it for me. Has someone who recently got diagnosed, I’m not at a stage where I’ve completely accepted it, but this book helped a lot. And you should really be more open about how you feel, and I’m sure you, just like me, have a lot of people that really care about you Feelings aren’t a choice. We don’t choose how we feel. The only choice we have is weather or not to tell someone about it”He tries to explain what your life is like when you essentially have a brain that’s trying to kill you every day.’ Former Coronation Street actress Hayley Tamaddon has spoken out about her relationship with ex- Hollyoaks star Joe Tracini, describing him as her "soulmate". Ultimately, this is a story of hope and encouragement, telling us that no matter how hopeless life might seem, if we just wait for maybe as little as a few minutes, things will get better. It is never complacent, though, it doesn't pontificate, and it certainly doesn't make light of any of the major issues and topics it touches.

However, the interview caused a divide between viewers, with one saying: "Get him off, this is causing me anxiety. #lorraine" Read More Related Articles 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. Perhaps that’s because they’ll be reading his book? But he does make it obvious they were more likely to take a pair of shears to pernicious weeds in the garden rather than dig them up by the roots. Disapproval and emotional distance are clearly big factors in his family dynamic.Well, we talked about getting a rabbit and that’s quite long term, because we haven’t got a garden yet!” says Houseman. I managed to get my hands on this book 4 days early and devoured the whole thing in a day. 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.

Of course, you’re going to worry about the one you love and how it hurts everytime you’ve got to leave. But if you can learn to talk about the hatred that you feel sometimes there’s no limit to the things you can achieve.’

The ‘ten things’ Joe mentions in his book range from his impulsiveness to his chronic feelings of emptiness. That being said, I can honestly say, that this is one of the most raw and honest books I have ever read. To see Joes life, soul and mistakes laid out on paper really takes willpower and strength. For me, the reason that I think this book is so impacting and moving is because he doesn’t write this out of a place of being ‘fixed’ or better’ but, as he says a number of time, he’s still broken and willing to give us an insight into that brokenness. The thing that I think I liked most (if that’s that right word to use) is making people see that just because you’ve been fixed once, it’s okay to break against, it’s not a once fixed always fixed kind of illness.
