Charlotte Tytler
At the Time of Writing This is a raw, courageous, and deeply moving memoir about surviving when life feels impossible.Written in real time during one of the most challenging periods of her life, Charlotte Tytler takes readers on an unflinching journey through depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, autism, and the lifelong search for understanding and acceptance.Told through a series of interconnected moments spanning childhood, adolescence, and adulthood, this powerful memoir explores the experiences that shaped her, from navigating relationships, loss, and rejection to receiving an autism diagnosis later in life and confronting years of misunderstood mental health struggles.With honesty, vulnerability, and moments of surprising humour, Charlotte shares what it feels like to live in survival mode while searching for hope in the darkest places. Rather than offering simple solutions or easy answers, she invites readers into the reality of her experience, creating a space where those who have struggled with their own mental health can feel seen, understood, and less alone.At the Time of Writing This is a story about resilience, self-discovery, and learning that healing is not always about fixing yourself, it is about understanding yourself.For anyone who has ever battled anxiety, depression, trauma, burnout, grief, or the feeling of not fitting into the world around them, this memoir offers a powerful reminder that even in the hardest moments, connection and hope remain possible.
