A thought provoking collection of creative writing from the company of 'Don't Mention the Gorilla - A collaboration of authors and artists exploring all aspects of mental health & psychology through poetry, short stories, art, scripts and a bit of abstract thinking.
Some work is entirely fictional, some written from personal experience and some (most) sit somewhere in that lovely grey area in between. Whatever form they take, they are all heartfelt, and hope to challenge social perceptions of mental health.
This book reflects the human mind, which jumps from one thought to another and does not always follow a logical pathway, so, you can dip in and out as often as you like.
Don't mention that sometimes I really love my mental ill health,
It gives me a break from the rat race.
Don't mention that I think the rat race is a made up,
useless state of mind.
Don't mention that secretly I think that if I was a rat I would win the race...
