2025 || Paperback || P. E. Moskowitz || Bloomsbury
Six years ago, I woke up shaking in a hotel room with my sense of reality shattered. Colours were distorted, the walls seemed to breathe and shadows felt like threats. I thought I was going to die. This marked the beginning of a year-long mental breakdown. Nothing worked - not antidepressants, not therapy, not yoga. I was too far gone... until I wasn't.

2025 || Paperback || Plato Plato || E-Kitap Projesi & Cheapest Books
