Journey to the Centre of the Mind: a Mental Gap Year (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9788293873204)

Our journey follows protagonist Hannah Higgins, a fortysomething woman, who goes through a turbulent year marked by inner and outer turmoil. The story revolves around her battle against self-destructive behaviours, including excessive drinking and self-medicating, unhealthy relationships and emotional breakdowns. Despite her attempts to appear functional in society, she struggles with feelings of loneliness, anxiety and lack of direction. Through her somewhat chaotic gap year, the reader gets a deeper insight into her mental state, her battles with the healthcare system and her slow journey towards self-awareness and mental recovery, with a hefty dose of dark humour to brighten the more serious parts of the book. Will there be light at the end of the tunnel for Hannah? Or just another brightly coloured shitstorm on the horizon? There is only one way to find out.
