Like any new mother, Laura Dockrill felt rather overwhelmed after the birth of her son. But a slow recovery, sleep deprivation, and anxiety quickly escalated into postpartum psychosis, and she had to spend a fortnight in a psych ward, separated from her family. It was only when Laura began to put her ordeal into words that she began to find herself again, and recovery seemed within reach. This is Laura's raw, honest, and life-affirming story of how she made it through one of the most frightening experiences a mother can face. Now, she wants to break down the silence around postnatal mental health, shatter the idealized expectations of perfect motherhood, and show all new struggling parents that they are not alone.
