I’m Brian Limond, aka Limmy. You might know me from \u003cem\u003eLimmy’s Show\u003c\/em\u003e. Or you might not know me at all. Don’t worry if you don’t.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThey asked me to write a book about mental health, because I sometimes talk about my mental health in tweets and interviews, like suicidal thoughts and anxiety, and what I’ve done to try and deal with it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI said to them, oh, I don’t know if I could fill a whole book with just that. But how’s about I write a general autobiography type of thing, and all the mental health stuff will naturally appear along the way? I could talk about growing up and slashing my wrist and taking acid all the time and getting done for car theft and feeling like a mad freak that would never amount to anything.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnd then how I made my own sketch show. I directed it and everything. Plus I’m a dad. I’m an adult. But I still feel like that mad freak from years ago. I still feel like chucking it all away, for a laugh.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI asked them if they wanted me to write about all that, plus some other stuff. Like being an alky. And my sexual problems.
