Picture this: You wake up to the blaring sound of your alarm clock, only to realize you’ve already hit snooze five times. You begrudgingly drag yourself out of bed, stubbing your toe on the corner of the dresser in the process. Fan-freaking-tastic.

As you stumble into the kitchen, you find you’re out of coffee. Of course. You grumble a few choice words under your breath while brewing a cup of that ancient, off-brand tea lurking at the back of your cupboard since the dawn of time. It tastes like regret and broken dreams.

With no time left for a shower, you throw on some semi-clean clothes and race out the door, praying you’ll catch the bus. Spoiler alert: you don’t. As you stand at the bus stop, watching it disappear into the distance, you can’t help but think that the universe has it out for you today.

The rest of your day is a blur of irritating coworkers, a mountain of urgent emails, and an endless loop of “please hold” elevator music as you attempt to resolve a billing issue during your lunch break. By the time you finally make it home, you’re ready to scream, cry, or do both simultaneously.

Sound familiar? We’ve all been there.

With “I Hate You All,” you’ll be tickled by the absurdity of life’s annoyances and find solace in sharing your grumpiness with the world. Laugh at the ridiculousness of everyday frustrations and realize that laughter is the best medicine sometimes.

Yes! Ankle sprains and strains are a common everyday occurrence and even the mildest of sprains can temporarily affect your training and mobility. A sprain/strain can lead to chronic issues and loss of performance later in life when not properly cared for and managed. Severe cases can lead to lengthy rehabilitation and even surgery.

Drowning in the Seas of Mental Illness is the autobiography of Bipolar Barbie. It illustrates the struggle of living with chronic mental illness and navigating the waters of a severely inadequate mental health care system. Drowning explains the day by day journey of someone experiencing mental illness for the first time and the gruelling process of getting a diagnosis and learning to live with a disease that kills over 1 million people a year world wide. It is a an inspirational personal memoir that delves deeply into the mind and psychology of a young woman who refuses to give up fighting for the life she deserves.

Bipolar Barbie gives a creative, raw and honest take on living with Type 2 Bipolar Disorder, Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), Generalised Anxiety Disorder and Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD). She documents her journey in the seas of mental illness in a series of short stories signed off by each different Barbie she feels represents the state of her mood at the time.

This book follows her personal journey from the death of her best friends mother and mentor, to the downward spiral she experiences during her second year of law school. She knows her life will never be the same again. She battles homelessness, drug and alcohol abuse, grief and depression all whilst trying to keep her life and career together. She explores her feelings and emotions in imaginative short stories that represent the trials and tribulations someone must overcome to help themselves out of a dark place.

This book dives deep into the real life struggles someone with complex mental illnesses first experiences before being correctly diagnosed. She explores the uncertainty and fear of the unknown future ahead of her in this compelling depiction of her personal struggles that many can relate to. The rollercoaster ride of mania and depression is portrayed through diary entries that chronicle the everyday life of someone suffering from mental illness and the stigma that comes with it.

When asked why she talks about her mental health so openly and honest she simply responds “It never occurred to me not to!” She also believes that talking about the stigma surrounding mental illness is not productive. She does not want to bring attention to the fact that it is normal to shun and stigmatise sufferers of an “invisible illness”. “I want people to know what it is really like to be me and struggle every day to find the will to live. Understanding is the only way to truly obliviate the stigma”

She questions the expectation on young adults to succeed and the neglect to consider the wellbeing of individuals in that equation. Finding the courage to reach out for help is only the first step in reaching that illusive place called recovery. What follows is a gruelling process of therapy, medication and doctors appointments. A undertaking not many understand or could possibly comprehend.

She honours her influencer roots by including photos to accompany each diary entry to represent the often diverse gap between how someone looks and how they really feel.

She metaphorically peels back the skin of her image to reveal the demons and battles she fights within. Wrestling with her mind to gain control of her thoughts. She grapples with the possibility that she will never be normal again.

This book aims to open up the conversation about mental health concerns and help others find the words to describe what they feel in order to promote effective dialogue that just might save someone’s life.

These moving stories of real people affected by Huntington’s give a human face and voice to this dreadful illness, making the unimaginable imaginable and felt by the heart.
Lisa Genova, New York Times bestselling author of Inside the O’Briens

We often remark in life that “nobody knows what goes on behind closed doors,” but without first-hand stories like these, I don’t think we really understand the extent of that sentiment. I implore anyone to read HD Heroes.
George Rainsford, actor and patron for the Huntington’s Disease Association

Essential reading for anyone affected by Huntington’s, whether carrier, caregiver, partner, or friend. Profoundly moving accounts by those with or at risk of inheriting this cruel disease.
Helen Pidd, author and North of England editor at the Guardian.

I was truly brought to tears by the authors’ courage and fortitude in finding ways to deal with the hardships and create empowerment from the difficult road HD represents—it is motivational and inspirational for all of us to read.
Leslie M. Thompson, HD researcher

HD Heroes invites the reader to become part of the HD team by having a better understanding of the impact of the disease on the real lives of those living it. The contributors here have shared their lives in a brave and open manner.
Mark Guttman MD, FRCPC neurologist and clinical researcher in HD

HD Heroes is a moving, powerful, and remarkable collection of personal stories from people affected by HD in some way. Their stories must be read by anyone interested in learning more about what makes our HD family community so amazing.
Professor Sarah Tabrizi, HD doctor and scientist

Huntington’s disease has been steeped in secrecy and fear for generations, leaving people in the community without a voice. This book changes that. Twenty-six people from nine countries bravely share their personal stories about living in the shadows of this disease. By doing so they are saying: Here I am. I will not be kept silent.

From a scientist who switched from cancer research to studying Huntington’s after finding out her mother had tested positive for the disease, to a young man whose biggest fear was testing gene negative and not inheriting the disease, to a woman who grew up in survival mode, unable to express her grief. We learn about the ways their lives are better off because of the hardships they have faced. By sharing these intimate parts of their lives, they are taking away the fear and stigma of living with HD in their families, and for that reason alone they are truly all HD heroes.

And when you read these stories, you will see that YOU are an HD hero too.

This book shares first-person stories from people who have tested gene positive, who have tested gene negative, or who have decided not to test, as well as stories from young carers, families living with juvenile HD, scientists, HD advocates, and more.

50% of the profits from the sale of this book will be donated to HDYO (Huntington’s Disease Youth Organization).

With stories from Charlie Burke, Emma Burnip, Ashley Clarke, Andrea Florian, Scarlett J. Florence, Lindsay Groot, Josh Halliday, Emma Harris, Rob Haselberg, Jenny Louise Johnson, Brandon Khoury, Sarah Khoury, Shelby Lentz, Domonique Claire Link, Dr. Tamara Maiuri, Joshua Marshall, Judy Melville, Paramjit Oberoi, Erin Paterson, Erin Pryce, Archana Ravada, Mackenzie Remillard, Gabrielle Russo, Joanne Somerville, Mandy Urbach, and Emma Wajswasser

This is a true-life account of the ups and downs, and my many different experiences and stories living with Crohn’s Disease.

This portrait project began as therapy for myself and grew into
something quite unexpected. I painted the portraits of 101 NHS and
key workers through breast cancer treatment and covid, presented
where possible with a little ceremony, bling and publicity …… a little
morale boost at a very difficult time.
This book has captured snapshots and reflections of our covid
experiences before they are forgotten, so many different experiences
giving a little insight into the impact of covid on individuals and our
communities over the last three years. This has now become a ‘team’
book, a local story of our shared journey through covid. HOPE has
been a constant companion on our journey …………. HOPE for a
vaccine and survival (it sounds a bit dramatic now, but that is how it
felt at the time).

All proceeds of this book goes to St Nicholas Hospice Care.
