Hi, I’m Duncan.
These are my suicide notes.
I fought depression. I found Happiness. I got Cancer.
This is my book. It is an autobiographical novel based on the poems I wrote battling depression, finding happiness and being diagnosed with brain cancer.
This is not a self-help book. Depression took me to the brink of ending my own life, I coped by writing poetry. I have had an unusual and unexpected life, I have learned lessons that can help others. My life’s purpose is to share my story, to shed a light on the darkest of minds and to use my freedom from myself for good.
BOOK TICKETS TO MY SHOW
I will be performing The Suicide Notes as a spoken word show at The Edinburgh Fringe 2023. There will be some recitals from the book and my personal insights into what I was thinking whilst battling depression and my cancer diagnosis. The show is FREE but please only book a seat if you intend to come. It will run from the 14th of August until the 25th August 2023.
There was a mystery that for years perplexed me. The more adult life became clear I couldn’t see how you could do it and be genuinely happy with all that responsibility and a severe fantasy deficiency. It became a real issue, I was sure I wouldn’t find a way through, but then I came to a conclusion that was undeniably true and I’m going to tell it to you. Let me know if you agree or if this is just me.
You can literally have cake for dinner if you like. Now for the sake of your health you probably won’t but I implore that you do! And wash it down with a Coke.
