Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be floating in the middle of the ocean, at peace with everything in your life? Dan has wondered that too. He's never been the happiest boy out there and certainly not the normal kind of guy. Dan was a boy who wore sweaters and skirts and sometimes flower crowns. He liked his style, but of course some people didn't like it at all. That didn't bug Dan. Most of the time at least. Dan has severe anxiety and mild to severe depression. He doesn't want to have any mental illness, but they aren't really a choice. He wants to get the right help for himself, but living with his mum, someone who didn't believe in mental illness, he knew that help wasn't coming anytime soon.
At school, Dan gets bullied. He gets bullied a lot for the way he dresses and for his mental illness. He tries not to let it get to him though. As long as he has his friends, Pj, Chris, Louise, Carrie, and Phil, he thinks he'll be okay. Sadly for him, he thought wrong. Lately, bad thoughts have been making their way into Dan's brain, making it impossible for him to keep a smile on his face. No one but the poor boy himself noticed him breaking inside.

FanfictionI'm not going to lie, this is kinda cheesy and like almost every other fic because it's pastel Dan, but I'm having Nerd Phil so we'll see how this turns out. I'm not good at writing descriptions, but I'm very happy with the plot of this story.
