Summary

“If You Don’t Like This I Will Die” by Lee Tilghman is a raw, eye-opening look into the dark side of online validation and self-image. Once known for her perfectly curated wellness persona, Lee found herself consumed by her social media presence—obsessing over how she looked, what she posted, and how others perceived her, all while her mental and emotional health were quietly falling apart. In this powerful memoir, she pulls back the curtain on the burnout, anxiety, and identity crisis that came with chasing digital perfection, and shares how stepping away from the noise allowed her to rebuild her health, reconnect with herself, and create a grounded, authentic relationship with social media.
