Larry Meyler—Triggers & Turnarounds
Can you visualise your mental illness? In this series on hope, I explore the journey of recovery with Larry. His depiction of getting in the boxing ring with his depression gave me a real insight into the concept of visualising mental illness.

Larry Meyler
Irish-born Larry Meyler began his writing career in 2017 with the release of his first book, the self-published title, Being Brave. His self-deprecating, relatable and entertaining style of writing has been a triumph for the ‘artful dodger of the literary world’ who was kicked out of school aged fifteen with no academic qualifications and who typed his first book on an iPad. Joanna Lumley calls it “utterly gripping”, and a host of other famous fans, from James Arthur to Geri Halliwell, have found themselves lost in its pages, a poignant and fearlessly honest memoir from this “unlikely author”.
The Sun says: “It will inspire you like very few books do,” and The Daily Star Sunday calls it: “A fearless piece of writing and unique memoir”. The book has gained five stars on Amazon and has featured in The Evening Standard, Fabulous and Now magazine. Larry has since written articles for Glamour, Men's Health, MailOnline and has worked with Heads Together, the mental health charity spearheaded by Prince William, Princess Catherine and Prince Harry. As well as being a radio and podcast guest and hosting school talks centred around mental health.
