Be My Juliet [on hold]

advice & opinions pls

hello! 

i'm so sorry that I haven't updated this story in a while.  a LOT has been going on in my personal life so i haven't been able to get online much - basically i've been super sick and basically need to spend all day (nearly) every day doing basically nothing (except trips to the doctor's office).  i just reread that sentence and realized i said basically 3 times but i'm trying to just speak/write normally in this so i'm not gonna edit it and i'm really sorry if it bothers anybody.

THE REASON i am writing this right now is that 1) i wanted to see how you guys are.  is everyone okay? you doin/feelin good? and 2) need some opinions.  i've been thinking about this story and i'm really not happy with it.  specifically, i don't like how i dealt with certain topics.  i'm worried someone will see pen's mental health issues and think that that is the only way those illnesses are.  or that if they thought they may be dealing with something similar, that reading this story would make them question those beliefs and therefore not seek professional help (which is so important i cannot stress that enough).  however, i have been told that it is because of this story that some people feel more comfortable with their own problems and don't feel as alienated/alone as they did before, which i do think is important when it comes to any sort of health issues, both mental and physical.  

SO. as for the opinions i mentioned.  do you think i should keep the story as it is? should i edit it so that i feel better about the way certain topics were handled? should i delete this entire story and try again? i really look forward to hearing you guys' thoughts on this.

again, i'm sorry i didn't edit any of this post/chapter/whatever you'd call this.  if there are spelling/grammar mistakes, please forgive me.  as i said, i'm not feelin that great so i think i'm gonna go back to bed. stay amazing xx
