Let me take you on a journey - a journey where you can hear my pain (well 'read' my pain anyway, let us not be pedantic but it IS a book and not a self-help CD). Learn about all the techniques I've tried when dealing with my bouts of depression and self-hatred - some techniques actively encouraged by professionals across the world, other techniques (prostitutes, drugs, self-harm) pretty much frowned upon. The spoilsports. What worked for me and what most certainly didn't Told with the blackest of humour to keep things fun
