Symptoms For Saving Beck

Introduction

"You know, you're literally the most wonderful person ever... such a good listener," Beckham observers waiting for a reaction.

"Wait what, sorry I was busy trying to magically get out of this unfortunate situation, but looks like that's not gonna happen anytime soon," I snapped out of my trance and kick him in the shin.

"Can't feel it remember?" he smirks.

I shake my head rolling my eyes, "Oh don't I know Beck."

Elizabeth Jones suffers from depression and OCD, which are symptoms of Maladive Daydreaming. Where you daydream of a fictional life where you prefer to experience. But this condition isn't always a good thing, because it causes her short attention span and she gets distracted too easily at school. Struggling for survival for her and her mom, she works at and old but "cool" record shop where she finds comfort in her thoughts through music vinyls where her mental pain/illness temporarily disappears.

Beckham Peterson has Congenital Insensitivity to Pain, where he can't feel physical pain. Wealthy and son to a successful doctor exploring conditions like his, he is the school's Golden Boy with perfect grades, good looks, and an athletic reputation. Playing football, this blessing and curse takes away the physical pain Beck has dreaded before, but doesn't take away the reality of a broken body and heart.

Two very different conditions, one mental and one physical, meet through two very different people when Beckham meets Eliza at a therapy meeting which suggested that they help each other overcome their problems. Weeks and months of milkshake "dates", therapy sessions, and sticking through thick and thin, they realize that even though their situations are very different, maybe the way of coping with them, is the same. Together.

Hey readers! I stopped writing my first book because I felt that it was slowly losing attention and I wanted to create another one with a simpler plot and more relatable situations and characters. This book does not negatively dictate anyone with mental illness, but more respecting them. I hope all of you enjoy it and I'll try update when I can. Let me know you thoughts and ideas about the book. Okay everyone, read on!
