A Stunning Memoir By A Writer And Mental Health Advocate About Motherhood, Postpartum Mental Health, And Finding Ground When You Lose All Control.When Writer And Blogger Ayana Lage Became Pregnant, She Prepared As Any Parent Would: Voraciously Researching, Redditing, Preparing For Anything. And Having Experienced A Previous Miscarriage, She Braced Herself For The Worst. But Days After Giving Birth, AyanaS Sense Of Control Began To Break When God Started Speaking To Her. After Growing Up Pentecostal And Longing To Hear From God, She Heard Him Audibly For The First TimeAnd Often. God Told Her That She Had Been Chosen. He Told Her That Her Daughter Was The Second Coming Of Jesus Christ. She Carried Around Notebooks To Ensure She DidnT Miss Any Divine Words. Eventually, She Was Diagnosed With PostPartum Psychosis And Sent To A Psychiatric Ward, Unable To See Loved Ones Or Her Baby And Sometimes Unsure Whether SheD Actually Had A Baby At All.Her OnceRational Thought Process Was Consumed With Delusions, And Overnight, The SelfProfessing PeoplePleaser Turned Into A Fearless Charismatic, Obeying What She Believed To Be GodS OrdersIncluding Pulling The Fire Alarm To Force An Evacuation In The HospitalAnd Shouting At Anyone Who Disagreed With Her. Slowly, The Medication And Treatment Began To Work, And When She Was Well Enough To Be Released, The Hard Road To Recovery Began.Ayana Struggled To Adjust To Normal Life After The Breaks She EnduredBoth The Psychosis Itself And The Experience Of Feeling Betrayed By Her Mind. Once A Fierce Mental Health Advocate, She Still Remained Hesitant To Share About Psychosis, Because Of The Stigma Associated With This Mental Health Disorder.Drawing From AyanaS Notebooks And Medical Records, Missing Me Is A GorgeouslyWritten Exploration Of The Revelations Ayana Received During Her Psychotic Episode, The Surprising Lessons About Her Life And Faith Revealed In The Aftermath, And The Long Road To Trusting Her Mind Once Again.
