The author of this book is Stephen Westwood. It is called ‘Suicide Junkie’ and is his story.
For those of you who do not know who Stephen Westwood is… he wrote a book on Body Dysmorpic Disorder (BDD) which he has suffered from since a young child.
If you dont read another book or only ever read one, this is the one to read. He tells you of his life, right from the first time he can remember trying to commit suicide up to the present day. I could relate to allot of what he said and reading the posts on here so would many of you. Its one of those books you cannot put down.
Please take a look at it… he also has a facebook page.

I’ve heard about this book.
Ill take your word on it, I will read it (:
Its a brilliant book and one of the reasons it is, is because it is real. This is a real person who has felt like us. Has been suicidal all his life.
Its sad but makes you really think.
Thank you. You will defo recommend it when you are done. x

Its amazing how I just found this site and I love it already I’m still not completely sure how to use it but ill get the hang of it. I signed up because well of course I can connect to so many people and I truly know how everyone feels and I know they can understand me as well and its just good for everyone to hear each other out
And I’m telling you this because I’ve noted that you seem like a great person. You seem very willing to help everyone on here and that’s wonderful.
I admire you for that 🙂
But anyway yes, I will read this book and again I just want to thank you (in advance before I read it) for recommending it, I already know I will definitely like it.
