Glossophobia - the fear of public speaking. The third most common fear in the UK. When I was first published I avoided all public events. Then I began to push myself through them. At first they were hell for me and anyone watching. But slowly my brain realised a bit of shame isn’t death. Now I can speak in front of 2000 people and enjoy it. The act of doing is also the act of change. Happy Saturday.

Reasons to Stay Alive is eleven years old today. The concept was that the whole book was a letter to my young suicidal self, telling him to hold on through four years of depression, derealisation, panic, agoraphobia and an attempt on my life. It was very personal and it was raw to write. Especially as, back then, the mental health genre wasn’t really a thing. But I am happy it helped some people.

A group of corrupt right wing millionaires are beginning to have their plan come together thanks to ordinary working people who somehow believe all their problems are nothing to do with spending cuts or inequality and everything to do with desperate people risking their lives to flee wars these same voters were rarely against. The left needs to do better at showing their message is for EVERYONE and the media need to do better at not fellating right wing shitheads who will give them tax breaks. Sad times.
