Usually when we talk about suicide we say those four magic words: "just ask for help". But Honor Eastly knows it’s not that simple. At times heartbreaking, and desperate – but also darkly funny, and charming, No Feeling Is Final is a story of difference, identity, and why we should stay alive.

"Mum says my boyfriend is a keeper. Right now, for practical reasons, he is in fact the keeper of all the medications I am currently taking."
We all have that voice in our head. The one that is brutally honest. It’s a good thing, right? Except when it really isn’t.

"Hunting for a psychiatrist is a lot like hunting for 'The One'. Only much more expensive and with a tiny dating pool."

On the other side of psychiatric hospital there’s less of things.

Customer Reviews
One persons story of mental illness. Or is it.
You can definitely listen to it this way. For me, there’s more to it.
It’s more like a story about what it’s like to have profound life experiences in a world that calls them mental illness. And the limitations of this.
And it’s more than a story. It’s as close to ‘walk a mile in my shoes’ as I’ve ever experienced. And I have my own shoes!
Finally, it’s beyond one person. This is a story that many will relate to. It’s a modern and ancient story whose time has come.
