Back, After the Break
Back, After the Break | Osher Günsberg
3 posts | 4 read | 4 to read
Osher Gunsberg, one of Australia's most loved celebrities, opens up in a powerful, dark, funny and heartwrenching memoir about life, love and living with mental illness. It's hard to remember a time when Osher Gunsberg (or Andrew G as he was then) wasn't on TV - he's just always been there, looking at ease in the spotlight, beaming a big smile, with a questionable haircut. He was there hanging out with The Offspring backstage at the Warped Tour on Channel V; announcing to a national audience of three million people that Guy Sebastian was our first Australian Idol; and later capturing the heart of the nation by hosting every season of The Bachelor, The Bachelorette and now Bachelor in Paradise. But while everything looks great from the outside, the real picture has not always been quite so rosy. Osher has always known he's different to most other people. Struggling with anxiety, panic attacks and weight issues since he was young, he tried for years to drink away the anxiety and depression. He ended up unemployed, divorced, suicidal and certifiable on the other side of the world, yet somehow he managed to put the broken pieces of his mind back together and make a life for himself again. He lives with a mental illness - and he's come to terms with it to live an authentic, rich and fulfilling life. A revealing, raw, funny and heartfelt memoir from one of Australia's most well-known and well-liked celebrities.

"I have an allergy to alcohol. If I drink it, I break out in fuckwit." You are not alone Osher, I also suffer this same fate if I over drink! ?
A very raw and unflinching look at mental illness and addiction. I applaud his candour and honesty. It is so important in helping to remove the stigma attached to mental illness.

This was a very honest and open memoir of life living with anxiety, mood disorder and OCD. The celebrity glitz and glamour that can hide the awful truth. Listening to the audio narrated by Osher made it even more intimate.

A great description of the mental loop experienced by those of us with anxiety. So familiar.

Jeg This looks like something I would like to read. 6y
