So, Who Are You Anyway?: A Mother's Journey Through Mental Health, Uncertainty & Healing Through Writing - Paperback

This book is a memoir about a Mother's Journey through Mental Health, Uncertainty and Healing through Writing.

This book is a deeply personal journey through the aftermath of my son's mental health crisis, and the path of healing that followed. At its heart, it explores how journalling became not only a lifeline, but also a way to navigate overwhelming emotions, rediscover resilience, and reclaim hope.

In the shock and grief that followed his attempt, I often felt powerless, torn between fear, exhaustion, and the relentless weight of caring for someone I loved so fiercely. Journaling gave me a voice when words felt impossible to speak aloud. Page by page, I began to unravel my pain, find clarity in chaos, and make sense of the role I had taken on as both a mother and a carer.

Through candid reflections, this book traces how the practice of writing transformed from simple survival into a powerful tool for wellbeing. Journaling not only helped me manage anxiety and guilt, but also reshaped how I parented, coped, and found balance day to day.

This is not just a story of despair, but of strength, healing, and the quiet courage found in putting pen to paper. It is an invitation for others to discover how journaling can illuminate even the darkest moments.
