Because I'm Not Myself, You See: A Memoir of Motherhood, Madness and Coming Back from the Brink by Ariane Beeston

challenging emotional reflective sad medium-paced

5.0

Ariane articulated her experience with postnatal psychosis beautifully. I related to so many aspects of this memoir, and although it was somewhat triggering I found it helped me understand my own experience with PND and PTSD that little bit more. The content was well researched and I felt like Ariane really considered so many different perspectives for perinatal mental health - not just her own. Please make sure you are in a good place mentally before reading or listening as it is quite emotionally heavy.
