How to Forgive Yourself in Fifteen Years

How to Forgive Yourself in Fifteen Years is Rebecca's first poetry collection. Its twenty-one poems chronicle her journey towards recovery from a mental breakdown. The collection is an examination of the symptoms of chronic depression and anxiety disorder, tackling topics from relationships to suicide and self-harm.

 

These poems are a representation of the things that hurt too much to be spoken aloud. Of trauma, of pain, of failure - and perhaps most of all, of hope.
