Coming Soon – ‘A Sufferer’s Guide to Mental Health’ by Paul Langley
Our founder, Paul, was living a charmed life – until one moment changed everything.
Following on from a near-death experience, his life spiralled out of control and he was at a loss as to know why. Everything that had once been going so right was now going wrong. He felt that he’d ruined his life, and actually deserved to be miserable – even going as far as not eating because he wasn’t worthy of living. Overwhelming depression and anxiety where his constant companions. An eventual PTSD diagnosis (some 16 years later, after a chance conversation) explained the why, but not how to recover. So he set about analysing what was going wrong and how to alleviate the darkness. An unusual brush with suicide helped him realise that he’d reached rock bottom and nothing could be worse than where he already was, so he embarked on a journey to recapture his joy, one step at a time. Countless inspirationally kind people helped him along his way, back to a life he now truly loves.
He’s now compelled to share what he learned along the way, in the hope that we can all live a life we truly deserve, a life filled with love rather than fear.
