They asked me to write a book about mental health, because I sometimes talk about my mental health in tweets and interviews, like suicidal thoughts and anxiety, and what I’ve done to try and deal with it.

Fairly early into the book it became apparent that this is indeed a real autobiography, at times brutally honest, and frequently more than 'quite funny'. I read the whole thing in a day and throughout enjoyed finding out why Limmy is the way he is! Incisive, brutal and very refreshing. Followed Limmy's career for over a decade now, and his attitude and approach to things has definitely shaped who I consider myself to be today. Loved it & even better hearing it with Limmy's marvelous accent. looking forward to more books by him I always wondered if I was schizophrenic... Maybe just an overactive imagination.

Not Limmy’s fault of course, but I view myself as someone who can appreciate crass humour or explicit sex stories - and the stuff in this book was just way too bleugh for me. That’s all I can describe it as. I just didn’t want to read about him masturbating or his sexual encounters. It grossed me out and honestly made me want to DNF, which takes a lot, but it just wasn’t enjoyable or funny or even cringy. It was just bleugh. It wasn’t dummy fighting.

Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse. At the bit where I’d hum, other people would be singing words. I’d be looking about, and there would be everybody singing. I’d try to work out what they were singing, but I couldn’t.

I said to them, oh, I don't know if I could fill a whole book with just that. But how's about I write a general autobiography type of thing, and all the mental health stuff will naturally appear along the way? I could talk about growing up and slashing my wrist and taking acid all the time and getting done for car theft and feeling like a mad freak that would never amount to anything.We want our comments to be a lively and valuable part of our community - a place where readers can debate and engage with the most important local issues.

I don’t mean that I sit watching tragedies on the news, laughing my head off, having a wank.
