What happens when the joy of motherhood collides with the darkest corners of the mind? In the spring of 2023, May's world came to a sudden and terrifying halt. Just two months after welcoming her second child, the life she had carefully built began to unravel in ways she never could have anticipated. What followed was a harrowing descent into the most disorienting and isolating landscape of her life - moving through every level of psychiatric care while fighting to find her way back to herself, her children, and the family who needed her. She traces the origins of her struggle from a childhood shaped by cultural identity, perfectionism, and a quiet but persistent fear of unworthiness, through months lost in the abyss, and toward a recovery that cracked her wide open. This revealed a deeper, more radiant understanding of herself and what it truly means to be alive. For anyone who has ever felt consumed by darkness and wondered if they would find their way back - May's story is a testament to the enduring power of love and the courage it takes to keep going. The question is not whether May survived. It is who she became on the other side.
