In this book, we follow Mark's journey with anxiety, panic attacks and depression and learn about how his childhood impacted so negatively on his mental health. Mark's diary entries depict perfectly the thoughts and feelings of a young boy who never truly understood how he came to be placed in care. Mark describes in detail his journey through local authority care and living with his sister, before being sectioned under the mental health act and placed in a Victorian asylum after his mental health deteriorated and led him to attempt to take his own life. This is a heartfelt, true story of how a troubled young boy managed to turn his life around from rock bottom, and what felt like imprisonment in the care system, to become the successful, happily married family man he is today.
