"Beside" was formerly (15th through 19th centuries) used in phrases to mean "out of a mental state or condition, as 'beside one's patience, one's gravity, one's wits'" (Oxford Engl. Dict.), and that use survives only in "'beside oneself': out of one's wits, out of one's senses."

     [ "You're getting beside yourself" ]

    1: My Grandma was Southern born and raised, so a lot of Southern Dialect , sayings and nuances were little lessons throughout my life. One of those sayings that I favored is " You're getting besides yourself"- My grandma would say this to me anytime she felt I was trying to "show off", "Act up" or get "too cutesy". It was a soft way of saying, "get back in line", or "get yourself together", "humbly thyself". It is usually used by someone elder or maternal/paternal, is helpful and surely is an expression of love!

It doesn't matter how good the play was, Mary Todd Lincoln watching her husband and then President of the United States Abraham Lincoln get shot in the head right beside her overshadows everything.
