Product Information

It's particularly worth listening to the audiobook - much emotion and vulnerability come across in certain places. Fear of abandonment, unstable relationships, chronic feelings of emptiness, impulsive self-destructive behaviours, explosive anger, self-harm, paranoia and disassociation, extreme emotional mood swings and an unclear, unstable self-image. Such as recognising the important fact that our thoughts aren't our identity and that not everything our brain tell us is true.

Tracini can’t stand most of what is said in the media about mental health – he says so much of it is po-faced or exploited by celebrities to promote a product. Part of my job is working with children who have suicidal ideation, self harm which affects their mental health. Even though it's a tough listen at times, I will definitely be revisiting this book and listening again. There are some very fine passages (which I note he's reading aloud as part of the publicity for the book) He has trenchant things to say about the limits of the opening up of public discourse around mental illness (it's OK to talk about it, not considered OK to manifest it). Having somebody put their arm around you and proselytize is something you find all too much in books, but having someone pat your arm and say 'yeah, I get that' with real empathy in their voice is very rare, and this felt like walking in the park with somebody who wasn't judging me.I love coming back to Norwich each year, so I am gonna be doing my first sharing of bits of it in Stage Two if you’d like to come along and see it.

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. I feel like he partly wrote this book to give others dealing with mental illness some hope that it can get better.

The book is a difficult read and Joe talks through his life from one sh*tty moment to the next but he's made me feel less alone in my struggles and by far he's given the most practical and actionable advice on preventing su! This book is brutally honest and not an easy read but like Joe it’s full of love, humour and ultimately hope. Joe Tracini has a fairly brilliant way of storytelling and sharing a conversation about mental health.

The actor, TV presenter, comedian and former magician is becoming known as a radical voice in mental health at a time when the nation’s mental wellbeing has taken a hammering from the pandemic. You’re not in for a self help book journey, this is about having someone telling you they understand how you feel and how fucked up your brain can be. It's a collection of the funny, sad, shocking and weird stuff that has happened to me along the way. Anos de terapia e consultas psiquiátricas me fizeram perceber que quanto mais eu entendo a minha condição, mais eu posso conviver em paz com ela. 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.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've met a few people recently that make me feel like this illness isn't such a capital sentence, and the sort of parasocial relationship i've had with this book, dipping in and out, reading a chapter whenever i'm having a rough time, treating it like a cool, funny, and friendly embrace of "it's shit, but it might get better" has undoubtedly been a powerful one. 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. So I used to chat with Joe on social media long before the world knew his name and his love of leotards.

Hi, hope you're OK," he said, addressing the camera, before the screen splits and an alternate version of himself chips in. Foi ótimo me sentir acolhida e abraçada por alguém que também se sente a pior pessoa do mundo na maior parte do tempo. The only reason that I’m able to be so honest is because I’m doing it to the back of an iPhone,” he says. Most importantly, it’s funny – I’m not a one for ‘misery memoirs’ – and laughter is the best medicine etc.Tracini then proceeded to rap his way through tongue-in-cheek lyrics littered with some truths about his condition.
