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

Product Information

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. In my opinion, this book is a must-read for anyone trying to better understand other people's experiences, and to really appreciate that you can never, ever tell what a person may be going through just by looking at them. Back in the day of his old hollyoaks videos who knew the pain and trauma going on behind his eyes and these days even on the worst of days Joe has kept me going in ways he can never imagine and I hope he knows how his honesty over his condition helps so many people every day and his amazing dance videos gave us all something to hold onto during lockdown. 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'.

It's a collection of the funny, sad, shocking and weird stuff that has happened to me along the way. It is fantastic to know that Joe has overcome some of the things he has, and no doubt this book will help many people. Even though it's a tough listen at times, I will definitely be revisiting this book and listening again.

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.

I have BPD, and this was less of a 'self-help' book and more of a commiserations book, and that's why I adored it. 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 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. He's been acting like an idiot and talking about his broken brain on Twitter for a while now, and since March 2020 when there were suddenly a lot more people with a lot less on, his videos have been viewed over 90 million times. That being said, I can honestly say, that this is one of the most raw and honest books I have ever read. 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.

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. Most importantly, it’s funny – I’m not a one for ‘misery memoirs’ – and laughter is the best medicine etc. 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.

So I used to chat with Joe on social media long before the world knew his name and his love of leotards. But if there is even the smallest chance that me telling you how I live with me helps you live with you, and opens up a space for you to be more honest about your mental health, it will have been worth it. E obrigada meu amor André por me presentear com este livro excepcional e sempre ver o melhor de mim mesmo quando nem eu consigo.
