''Medically speaking, there is no such thing as a nervous breakdownWhich is very annoying to discover when you''re right in the middle of one. Whatever was going on with me, I had to wait it out. I had to find ways of passing the time until I was restored to myself again. So I baked a cake - a chocolate cheesecake, as it happens. And I enjoyed making it so much that I baked another And another'' Marian Keyes
