Pulling Myself Together - Denise Welch

It seems as though Denise Welch has it all – the love of her husband Tim Healy, two wonderful sons, and a hugely successful career as an actress and Loose Women star.

But things weren’t always that way. After her first child, Matthew, was born, Denise began to suffer from such a severe form of post-natal depression that she was at times suicidal. As she struggled to conceal her heartbreak on the set of Coronation Street, she turned to alcohol and drugs to cope. She even had an affair that very nearly ended her marriage. And just when she had almost got herself back on track, she received the devastating news that her youngest son Louis was desperately ill.

In Pulling Myself Together, Denise describes her battle with depression, drugs and alcoholism, and how she ultimately fought back to become the inspirational woman she is today, helped by the love and support of her family. Filled with Denise’s trademark wry humour, this is the funny, honest and sometimes shocking story of one of our best-loved actresses.
