Description:
A frank, hopeful and darkly funny memoir of postpartum psychosis and recovery
'I do not know who I am anymore or where I have gone ...'
Ariane Beeston is a child protection worker and newly registered psychologist when she gives birth to her first child - and very quickly begins to experience scary breaks with reality. Out of fear and shame, she keeps her delusions and hallucinations secret, but as the months pass Ariane gets worse. Much worse. Finally admitted to a mother and baby psychiatric unit, the psychologist is forced to learn how to be the patient.
With medication, the support of her husband, psychotherapy and, ultimately, time, Ariane rebuilds herself. And she also begins a new chapter working in perinatal mental health, developing resources to support other new mothers.
Because I'm Not Myself, You See is a candid, often humorous memoir of motherhood and madness, interwoven with research and expert commentary. It's the story of the impossible pressures placed on new mothers and how quickly things can go wrong during 'the happiest time of your life'. It's also about life on the other side of serious illness, trying to make sense of what doesn't make sense, and finding humour, beauty and joy when things don't go according to plan.

Wonderful Story, But Small Print
Format: Paperback, Format: Paperback
My son really likes this book. He usually doesn’t enjoy reading much, but this one caught his interest right away. The illustrations are great, and the story is engaging too. He finished the book in just two days! I already bought the second one and am thinking about getting the whole series.
The only thing I didn’t like was the size of the letters. It wasn’t very easy for my 9-year-old to read on his own, and sometimes I had to help him.

Big fan!!!
Format: Paperback
Such a wholesome story great for all ages. I've been a fan of Meesh for years on Instagram and when I saw there was a book... I HAD to get it. I read it in about an hour with interruptions form a puppy. I absolutely love the illustrations and story. The quality of printing was fantastic and I am looking forward to the next one!

Fun and engaging book!
Format: Paperback
This book was just what my 8 year old was looking for. She loved it! She has a great imagination and loves to play, but not always read. This held her attention and she finished it in a day! Now she’s begging for the second book!

fun, diversity filled, read
Format: Kindle
I think this was a great fantasy book with lots of magic about friendship, courage, and finding your identity, whatever that may be. I liked how even if demons seemed bad at first, they are just different. Everyone is.
