Dive deep into your emotions, and discover how writing about them can help you explore how you’re feeling, and find healthy ways of dealing with your thoughts.
A few words from Michael on why he wrote this book: I wrote this book because I’ve found writing about my state of mind really helpful and fun at the same time.
Sometimes this is because I’ve been troubled – devastated even, as when my son died. Other times I’ve wanted to celebrate and remember great times I’ve had. The help it’s given me comes from seeing myself reflected back at me.
This helps me view myself with some degree of detachment, and this enables me to put myself into the company of others, other people who may have experienced this pain or joy too. Togetherness feels better than isolation. I wanted to share these ideas with young people because I know mental health is a big issue for many young people and I hope this book will help them.
