Product Information

Trying to fix my broken brain by writing a gratitude list is like trying to remove a tumour with a fucking spoon. This eBook can be accessed through the free Dymocks eReader app, ( iOS, Android, Windows), or downloaded via Adobe Digital Editions (and other . Perhaps a lot is wearily familiar, but he does have interesting things to say, for example about the differences between private rehab and state funded rehab (and no, not that paying gets you something better) He also does two sorts of questioning about underpinning philosophies and approaches - there's the delusional questioning (trying to wriggle out of it, you might say), and some which are worthy of serious and wider consideration. Tracini, 32, has a sweet baby face (Joe 90 meets Alan Carr) and a life-affirming smile that belies everything he is talking about.

He attended the Italia Conti Academy of Theatre Arts in London and learned how to sing, dance and act, before starring on TV in My Spy Family, Coming of Age and Hollyoaks. 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.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.

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.Having Holly in my life has made me feel more capable of some sort of future, though I can’t think long term.

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. He also tells us about his journey to find what works for him, and his perseverance (and slip ups) as he found out what didn’t work for him too. I loved the way Joe manages to balance the serious messages within the book with lots of humour making it a lot easier to read.Well, there’s that Robin Williams quote, where he says the saddest people like to make people happy because they know how it feels to feel utterly worthless and they don’t want anybody else to feel like that,” he says. I have been aware of Joe Tracini for some time, as I was a huge fan of Joe Pasquale growing up, and so saw Tracini involved with some of Pasquales entertainment shoes. Sure thing, we don’t experience BPD’s symptoms the same way, it’s different for everyone but i still could relate on so many things written by Joe.

In the end I decided to go ahead and read it, with the understanding I could stop if it was too much for me and pick it up again whenever I felt I was ready. Joe's likability and humour that you can see on TV come across in the book, and I enjoyed the autobiographical element of hearing about Joe's life. Joe Tracini manages to tell the story of someone (himself) who is fighting to survive on a daily basis without it ever becoming self-pitying or depressing (although, obviously, the book deals with topics such as mental illness, addiction, self-harm, and drug abuse, among others). Being able to relate to someone on such a deep level and feel truly SEEN for the first time in my life… might have just saved my life.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. His message is that we don’t want yet another book which says: "my life used to be shit but now it’s great and you can do it too! When he started posting his videos, thousands of people wrote to him, checking how he was and telling him he had made a difference to their lives.
