A few words of gratitude for those who are giving A few words of gratitude for those who are giving Piece of Mind its best possible chance at finding the right audience. We've smashed through the Kickstarter target. Please don't ever doubt how much it means to a man like me, to have friends like you. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/davidmark/piece-of-mind-a-memoir-of-folly-melancholy-and-madness #kickstarter #mentalhealth #memoir #grateful #pieceofmind #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthwarrior #bipolar #depression #spreadtheword
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
The funding goal on the Kickstarter project was me The funding goal on the Kickstarter project was met within four days. That's genuinely mind-blowing. But please, do keep spreading the word. Mental health issues truly are matters of life and death. #memoir #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #kickstarter #depression #suicideawareness #ocd #bpd #anxiety #letskeepitgoing Piece of Mind: A Memoir of Folly, Melancholy and Madness, via @Kickstarter https://t.co/MUgIe5SPpz
It's Suicide Awareness Day today. I would gently It's Suicide Awareness Day today. I would gently encourage you to take a quiet moment to think about all those people in your life who fight daily battles with their mental health disorders. And give thanks for their strength. In my case, depression has nearly become a fatal condition many, many times. I'm still here. I'm keeping in keeping on. But it will never be easy. I can never say for certain that my monsters won't get me in the end. All I can do is make good decisions, and allow myself the grace to appreciate life's little elegances: to believe those who tell me that the darkness always lifts in the end. Those who have succumbed to their illness weren't being selfish or weak. If you think that way, please - educate yourself. Their demons just found a moment when their defences had nothing left to give and pushed them to a place where they couldn't find a way back. So, hard as it may be, make sure that those you care about are aware that they're not a burden. Everybody with depression believes themself to be a nuisance. We don't believe we have worth, or deserve love, and know to our bones that even those who claim to love us have been duped and will eventually realise their folly. Imagine, truly imagine, feeling like that all the time. Show those you love that you have the patience to hold their hand for however long the darkness holds into them. That's all I've got, really. #suicideawareness #mentalhealthawareness #savealife #mentalhealth #pieceofmind #depression
And so we have officially reached our funding goal And so we have officially reached our funding goal on #kickstarter . I declare myself really rather emotional. Only started it on Sunday so I'm a little overwhelmed. Do please continue to bang the drum but if you're one of the many who have contributed time or money, please take a moment to accept a shiny rosette from me saying 'awesome human'. Artemisia and I would like to say thankyou. That I sit in this particular tree and contemplate life instead of death is testament to therapy, family, perseverance, sobriety and love. #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #depression #pieceofmind #ocd #lifenotdeath #keepingonkeepingon #grateful
Just a thankyou to those of you who are doing your Just a thankyou to those of you who are doing your bit to bring my mental health memoir out into a world that might just need it.
Coming soon. In the meantime, any help you can of Coming soon. In the meantime, any help you can offer the kickstarter campaign would be a huge help. Thanks. #kickstarter #mentalhealthawareness #bipolar #memoir #ocd #addiction
I've written something that might just be of use. I've written something that might just be of use. PIECE OF MIND is a memoir about living with extreme mental health issues. It's about living, (and not dying) when your brain is under attack. It details the fight with depression, OCD, extreme anxiety, addiction, suicidal ideation and the reality of sabotaging your own existence time and time again. It's also funny, uplifting and very, very real. I don't want any publishers to fiddle about with it or tell me it needs to be more triumphant or less visceral. I want to show how it truly feels to live with a demon in your head that is trying to kill you. And so, I'm publishing it myself. I need your help to make sure it gets to as many heads and hearts as possible. If you want to tell people about it, that's appreciated. If you want to contribute to the project, that would be amazing. The link to the kickstarter page doesn't seem to be working so I'm attaching a screenshot to help you find it. Thanks.
