If your partner is an artist, you'll know the risk If your partner is an artist, you'll know the risks involved in setting the challenge of making something spooky out of Play-Doh. Genuinely frightened of this thing, knocked up by NicolaJayne while helping our youngest to make "a scary pizza". #spooky #witch #playdoh #whatthehell #fright
New addition to the family. This is Diamond, a gif New addition to the family. This is Diamond, a gift from a nice lady at a car boot sale. Artemisia has taken to her in a big way. Hexham looked absolutely gorgeous in the autumn light. #autumndays #family #familytime
Unbelievably pleased to learn that Erin Kelly, one Unbelievably pleased to learn that Erin Kelly, one of my absolute favourite novelists, has had some encouraging things to say about my mental health memoir, Piece of Mind.

Some splendid and much admired people have been ki Some splendid and much admired people have been kind enough to say supportive things about my mental health memoir, Piece of Mind. Funded through Kickstarter, it's available to read as an ebook now and will be out in paperback in a week. I really need all the help you can spare in this one so do keep telling people that this is a book which might just save a life. PIECE OF MIND : A Memoir of Folly, Melancholy and Madness https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B09FM6DZTR/ref=cm_sw_r_awdo_navT_g_5CPNEYQKD41E2SK4Y44Q #memoir #mentalhealthwarrior #kickstarter #depression #livingwithdarkness #anxiety #bpd #mania #bipolarbear #addiction
"Brave and honest and thoughtful" S J Watson "'A "Brave and honest and thoughtful" S J Watson "'A searingly honest dissection of an extraordinary mind - fascinating, heartbreaking, and very funny.'" Roz Watkins "This book might just save a life." Emma Haughton, author of The Dark. PIECE OF MIND... Best-selling novelist David Mark’s first work of non-fiction is an excruciatingly honest account of living with acute mental illness. This lyrical, raw and painfully funny memoir explores how it feels to house a monster inside your head: a slavering, seductive beast that whispers ‘kill yourself’ just when you start to think you’re happy. It’s the story of finding love and raising a family in the face of mania, depression, OCD, addiction, hallucinations, suicidal ideation, chronic anxiety and a genuine genius for self-sabotage. Piece of Mind deals with the reality of waking every day and choosing not to die. It’s about keeping on keeping on. It’s about fighting for your life when death seems so much easier. It’s about becoming a best-selling novelist and fulfilling your dreams and then feeling so utterly empty inside that an ocean of whisky isn’t enough. Sounds bleak? It's damn funny too. "A compellingly honest, brave, raw insight into what it’s truly like to struggle with your mental health." Claire Seeber "Devastatingly accurate and beautifully vivid. Piece of Mind has a lot to say to a lot of people, and it says it in an admirably unflinching way." Simon Brett. "I really, really think everybody should read this book".

Artemisia is experiencing that complex feeling of Artemisia is experiencing that complex feeling of being happy, energised and mildly imperilled all at the same time... #threeyearold #threenager #adventuretime #upatree #daddyanddaughter
I'm definitely a people person, whatever the hell I'm definitely a people person, whatever the hell that might be. And I'm alone for the first time in forever. Alone, and about to publish a mental health memoir! Spot the slightly manic flicker in my eyes as the gravity of the situation hits home! I may well have to live stream my existence just to keep myself on the right path. Or I could always go to my office and write a book. Yeah, I'll do that. Seems better than sitting here getting cross at the robins for not coming to my bird feeder in sufficient number. Red-breasted snobs, the lot of em. #ramblings #memoir #pieceofmind #aloneatlast #amomentspeace #depression #mentalhealthwarrior

Going to go on the record here and say that my par Going to go on the record here and say that my partner and daughter may just be the best people ever. I hear orchestral music when I look at them in these little moments - instances when we can experience the fierce joy of life and love: of being silly and gorgeous, elegant and daft. Honestly, I know life is hectic and boisterous but there are moments when you really should just pause and listen to the vibrations of your own heart. That feeling - the one you get when your soul feels a little too big for your body... Those are the moments to love for. Cherish them always. I truly do. #mumanddaughter #afternoontea #teaandscones #statelyhome #allthelove
Another day, another video of me talking about mys Another day, another video of me talking about myself. Sorry. Thanks for allowing me to festoon your time lines with my incessant but heartfelt pleas. The kickstarter campaign has officially reached its funding goal and my mental health memoir is now available to pre-order. I am so extraordinarily grateful to so many good and caring people. Please do keep banging the drum and wafting the book and the funding campaign under the noses of people who might benefit. This book is the story of a daily fight for life and tells the unvarnished truth about living with an extremely turbulent mind. Thanks. https://www.instagram.com/tv/CTrK-hGAkcT/?utm_medium=copy_link #memoir #pieceofmind #mentalhealth #depression #bipolar #anxiety #kickstarter #ocd #keepgoing
