'This is a remarkable book. The honesty is startling and potent'
Dawn French 'You have to buy this book. I mean it. It's very funny
and sad and utterly true. It's a life-saver' Miriam Margolyes 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
