A Story Written While
It Was Still Being Lived
At the Time of Writing This is a candid, non-linear memoir moving between significant moments in Charlotte Tytler's past and present.
Through experiences of mental ill health, neurodivergence, grief, relationships, masking, trauma and survival, Charlotte examines how a person can gradually become overwhelmed—and what it means to finally allow other people to help.
Written with vulnerability, self-awareness and dark humour, this is not a guidebook or a story offering simple solutions. It is an honest account of trying to understand a complicated mind, live through the difficult days and find hope without pretending that every struggle has disappeared.
Moments, Memories
and the Space Between
Mental Health
An honest exploration of depression, anxiety, panic, suicidal ideation and life in survival mode.
Neurodivergence
A personal account of autism, masking, sensory overwhelm and searching for answers after years of feeling different.
Grief and Trauma
Reflections on loss, difficult memories and the experiences that continue to shape the present.
Love and Relationships
The people who hurt, stayed, listened, protected and helped Charlotte see herself differently.
Identity and Acceptance
The ongoing process of understanding who you are beneath expectations, labels and learned performances.
Asking for Help
A quieter journey towards trusting others and accepting support when surviving alone is no longer possible.
A Life Remembered Out of Order
The story moves across different years and versions of Charlotte, reflecting how memory, grief and trauma rarely arrive in a neat sequence.
The past does not always stay in the past. Sometimes it returns when we finally have the words to face it.
“I am here with you, and I see you.”

A book for the reader who has struggled to explain what is happening inside their mind—and for the person who wants to understand.
The voice behind the pages.
Charlotte Tytler is a writer whose work is shaped by honesty, vulnerability and self-deprecating humour. She writes about mental health, neurodivergence, grief, relationships and the untidy reality of navigating a life that does not always go according to plan.
Her candid voice transforms deeply personal experiences into writing that helps readers feel recognised and understood.
“I hope you find a piece of yourself here—and leave feeling a little less alone.”
— Charlotte
