Ten Things I Hate About Me: The instant Sunday Times bestseller

Product Information

Toda noite ficava animada pra ler mais do livro e descobrir o que mais eu e o Joe tínhamos em comum. 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. E obrigada meu amor André por me presentear com este livro excepcional e sempre ver o melhor de mim mesmo quando nem eu consigo. Most people with BPD are undiagnosed as it takes a pretty serious crash to sit up and think: hey, something’s not quite right here.

When people with BPD get a diagnosis, or don’t get a diagnosis, and read a book like this, it’s like going through a check list of everything about you no-one could ever see or imagine.Not only is this book moving but I feel it will be educational not only for those without the illness, but for those with it to know that it’s okay to feel these things. So I bought it for my eReader and before too long I realized that this was not a BS account of someone's issues that I couldn't identify with or didn't give a crap about.

I don't owe Joe Tracini my life, but I do owe him for the silly joy of his captivatingly cringy dance videos in lockdown. So I was looking forward to this print 'extended version', if you will, whilst hoping there might be some nuggets of use to someone I love. It's so common for people with BPD to take their own lives that it's one of the only mental illnesses that lists suicide as a symptom. For those that do not suffer from a mental illness, can you imagine that scenario playing out hundreds to thousands of times a day with each task, interaction, or memory?Originally in the public eye as an actor, comedian and presenter, Joe has gained an enormous following on Twitter in recent years as he uses the platform to open up about his mental health. Thinking of the time he played a ukulele while standing in the bathtub singing a song he wrote about his 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). This book made me understand i wasn’t crazy by hearing a « voice » in my head who literally hates me.
