About this listen

Hi. I hope you're ok.

My name's Joe, and I have one job, every day: don't kill myself.

I live with a complex mental illness called Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD).

15% of people with BPD die by suicide, and 40% try.

I'm already in the 40%. My job is to keep out of the 15%.

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. It's a collection of the funny, sad and shocking stuff that has happened to me along the way.

Writing this book has been the hardest thing I've ever done. It had to be dragged into the world, with my condition telling me that every single word, sentence and chapter was terrible and would make strangers walk up to me in the street and punch me in the face.

But I had run out of options. I'd done everything I 'd been told to do and I still thought about killing myself every day. So I wrote this book to save my life.

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.

Please don't kill yourself.

Love Joe xx

I absolutely loved this book and the brilliant narration, I highly recommend it to everyone. If you don’t know who Joe is then please do seek him out on social media as he will definitely make you laugh and smile whilst raising awareness of one of our most taboo subjects, suicide, who’d have known that was possible?! The world is a much better place with you it Joe so thank you for staying with us.

I have been following Joe on social media for years and so when he announced his book I knew straight away that I would need the audio book. The way Joe articulates himself On such a difficult subject with his humour and raw emotion is exceptional. He is such a brave wonderful man and I hope his book makes others like him “wait for a bit”. Congratulations Joe. And keep goin

I feel like I learned a lot about mental illness and BPD from listening to Joe’s personal account. Very raw, honest and moving

Very moving but gives a great insight

This is an insightful, heartfelt and real description of life with BPD.
It’s had tears in my eyes from laughter and from empathy.
I wish I could make anyone that has to deal with me read this!

Insightful, heartfelt and real

Joe, thank you for shining a light on ‘Mick’ and your mental health challenges this is a brilliant book. I for one am glad you have not killed yourself and I know that anyone listening to your story will feel the same. I have loved listening to you tell your story. The honest telling the raw emotions that you express are testament to your honesty and humility. Always enjoy your humour and your descriptions of each situation you have found yourself. Thank you!

You don’t need to have gone through mental health challenges to get this book nor feel moved to feel just a little bit and have slightly more understanding when you meet people who are not okay. I haven’t had the challenges you have but that’s not the point which you express so well, I wasn’t okay I’m better than I was and now living a new reality where things are not the same shiny place they once were. But listening to your story has been helpful.

I’m grateful to listen to you rather than read, I get to feel more of your intent behind the words, so thank you for reading so honestly rather than sounding like an automaton reading a dictionary.

Thanks again for sharing your story.

Ps this is the longest and most honest review I have ever done which is I believe because how good this book is.

Phenomenally Honest and Heartbreakingly Beautiful
