Evidently the lockdown experience embedded with his girlfriend's family has been somewhat revelatory. He's starred in many TV shows including Hollyoaks, Coming of Age and The Great Outdoors, and he's the host of the BAFTA winning 'The Dengineers'. We have to start asking each other if we're OK and start listening - really listening - to the answer.

Trying to fix my broken brain by writing a gratitude list is like trying to remove a tumour with a fucking spoon.

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. If i’ve learnt anything from the first 5 pages of this book its ‘listen to the Benny Hill theme’ to bring you back from the abyss.Joes story is far from pretty and very heartbreaking at times and the reason behind him writing this book is one of pure honestly. I laughed and cried my way through this book and ultimately I now feel a little bit more confident that I won't actually k*ll myself. Joe had a series of rock-bottoms and then a basement and he takes us through the horrendous addiction hopping and base-line desire to kill himself in detail. 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). 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.

Then I discovered, along with so many others, that Joe has struggled with BPD and that lead to struggles with substance abuse and suicidal thoughts. But the lost has miraculously been found and over the Christmas holidays I have been able to launch into the second half.He holds himself to full account, and doesn't blame his BPD for the bad things he's done, but he wants others who may have the same struggles to know they're not alone.

It is clear that as much as Joe delights most of us, he very rarely feels that way about himself, due to his diagnosis of BPD and his constant war with a mental health condition that is trying to kill him by getting him to kill himself. 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. 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.If you follow him on any social media platforms- then you know you’re in for honesty about mental health mixed with refreshing thoughts about being yourself thru tough times.
