Are You Really OK?: Understanding Britain’s Mental Health Emergency

Product Information

This was a really great read. I watched Roman and started to become aware of him after I'm a Celebrity. I'm not a big Capital radio fan so wasn't aware of him as such but knew who he was because of his Dad mainly, but it's clear he doesn't really like people to associate him as for who his parents are and actually he turned down an offer to go in I'm a Celeb 3 years previous because he felt he hadn't made himself enough of a character and a place in the world and people would just know him as Martin Kemp's son, which is very admirable. The book was a bit repetitive at times (she definitely has some hobby horses), and there were some grammatical errors. She had some good insights on the human experiences of Christ. Some Bible verses she cited were taken out of context or the application was a bit of a stretch.

Fileta writes in a very personal way. She shares many of her own experiences, such as her struggle with depression and the trauma of a miscarriage. Her openness is encouraging, convincing this reader to be better at not hiding behind just saying I'm OK. The reason I chose Gogglebox is that I know that when I’m older and when he’s not here anymore, I can say to my kids and my grandkid, 'That's the relationship I had with my dad,' so that's why I do it", he told Metro.co.uk. Don’t get me wrong, I come from a family of romance,” he says. “My grandparents were together from when they were 16 and they died on the same day, then you’ve got my mum and dad who have been together for so long. I wish that I had found this book 6 months before I did. For those of us who might have been raised in a church that sincerely believed that "real Christians don't get depressed", it can be hard to admit that you might need therapy or other kinds of help for mental health struggles. That's why I am so glad that Deb has written this book and has made it so accessible and non-threatening to consider getting help and guidance for the things that plague our minds. Toxic mindsets, cognitive distortions, trauma, and more are covered with grace, compassion, and a determination to bring light to these hidden things that Christians can sometimes ignore in the name of seeming "fine".To be human is to have a line that is finite. There is a limit to every one of our abilities, and there is only so much we can take. This is as true mentally and emotionally as it is physically and spiritually. Maybe, like Daisy, you’re feeling that no matter how much you spin your wheels, you just aren’t gaining traction. So you struggle with stress and worry, anxiousness or dread. The answer isn’t to just try harder. Muscle can’t win this battle. I also particularly liked the end “Stuff that’s Good to Know” and will be taking ideas such as “The Wellness Menu” and “The Safety Plan” on board.

Hi. Sorry I've spoken to my supervisor and we'd like to put you on the priority list since your mental illness is more advanced. The waiting list for that is 4-6 months." Describing it as the most “f***ked up industry in the world” he says his confidence was shattered as he was called out for having a “Mediterranean nose” and “wide hips for a man”, and became convinced he had bad teeth as he was never allowed to smile for photos. Hope and understanding, comes in conversations with groups of mates, who like Roman, find themselves trying to come to terms with missing a friend and the endless questions around what happened, and why. One surprise for me was about emotions. Being in tune with our emotions is not something we are born knowing how to do. It is a skill we must learn. Fileta suggests using the tool of expressive writing as a practical way of developing the skill.Use italics (lyric) and bold (lyric) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part But if enough wrong things happen that exceed someone’s ability to cope, no matter how privileged they are, they will get ill’

Roman Kemp on heartfelt inspiration for mental health book

This book offered a some really good resources and helps guide you through a plan to start a path of healing. Each section delved into a different area: emotional health, spiritual health, mental health, and physical health; and each chapter had journaling questions to help you reflect on what you may be feeling. It had e substance than I was expecting. I thought it was “just” going to be a book about mental health with anecdotes and helpful advice. And that would have been perfectly fine. But it’s so much more. He’s taken us through his life, his childhood, adolescence and adulthood, his family life, his career, his ups and downs, and the things that have built up to crate this picture of mental health. It’s not a self-help book as such. He doesn’t pretend he’s a know-it-all expert or guru, he’s just telling us his experience. Wellness is important to the Capital FM DJ. He has achieved huge success waking up millions of listeners on the breakfast show since 2017, but he hasn’t had it easy.It’s also important for people to understand that when conversations happen, they do make a difference. There is an old adage about the cobbler who had no shoes. It can be easy to not do for yourself what you do for a living. My favorite thing about this book is how it defies that stereotype. Debra is honest about her own struggles and transparent about her journey to implement the practices that, as a professional counselor, she advocates for you and me to do. I hope and pray that as you embark upon this journey, you will open your heart, soul, mind, and strength to all that Jesus wants to do in you. I am confident that greater joy and peace are waiting on the other side. Levi Lusko
