I’m Not as Well as I Thought I Was

\'One of the most powerful books of the year\' Daily Mail\'Nobody can make the serious funny and the funny serious quite like Ruby.\' - Alastair CampbellDear Reader,Checking into a mental clinic wasn\'t exactly on my radar in 2022. Writing about it wasn\'t either. But here we are.I spent a lifetime trying to create a \'front\' to give everyone the illusion that all is well. It wasn\'t, and it isn\'t. Now I look back and I think, \'what the f*ck was that all about?\'I began the book trying to find meaning by going on various, life-changing journeys, I ended up in a mental clinic; obviously things didn\'t work out the way I expected. This is the story of what happened after the mental car crash . . . From then on, the journey had to turn inward. It turns out I wasn\'t looking for meaning, I was looking for home.I\'m not a fiction writer. I can\'t fake it. I could say I rode into the sunset, but life isn\'t like that unless you\'re a cowboy. Truth is I\'m not as well as I thought I was.These days, trying to stay sane in a completely chaotic world makes life incredibly difficult. For those readers who are deep in the darkness of mental illness, I hope my book makes you feel less alone.Take care, love,Ruby x---------------------------------------------------------------------\'If you buy only one book this year, make it this one.\' - Joanna Lumley\'A true tour de force.
