So there is gonna be a trigger warning. There will be mentions of rape (will have a scene leading up to it and then a time skip), suicide (attempts and just mentions) selfharm (will involve some scenes), domestic violence (only mentioned), drugs, alcohol, depression, ptsd, anxiety and the main subject, insomnia. A sleeping disorder which includes hallucinations, night terrors, anxiety attacks and voices.
I can't leave these out, because this is based on something from the real life, the story wouldn't be complete without these.
My life was never easy, I was basically dead when I was born, it was a miracle I survived. When I was only 4 years old, I ended up in a coma, due to chronic low blood sugar. Hypochliamid. One of my kidneys don't work, it's always been like that. Around the age of 5 or 6, I was diagnosed with ADHD and autism.
I grew over my hypochliamid around the age of 11.
Around the age of 13, I developed chronic ear infections and chronic tonsilitis. My tonsils got removed, but my airpipe ended up getting damaged. I was still struggling with my ear infections.
My family life wasn't the best either. There were a lot of fights, mostly with my older siblings. All my 3 siblings are much older than I am, the two eldest have a different mom and the other one a different father. Madison, Jason and Colin. Madison, 17 and half years older than me, is an alcohol and drug addict, which causes the most fights. Jason, 16 years older, has 3 kids and his girlfriend causes a lot of trouble as well. Colin, 8 and a half years older, he's my favorite brother, my hero.
My grandma, I have good reasons to describe her as pure evil. I haven't seen her since I turned 8. My grandma put my mom through a lot of pain, mom even ended up at the psychologist for trauma treatment. My grandma abused her emotionally and physically, she let her boyfriend and my mother's uncle sexually assault my mother when she was only a child. My mom had tried to commit suicide multiple times, because of what this woman put her through.
My other grandma died of COPD, caused by smoking sigarettes. My grandfather, mother's dad, I sadly never got to know, he died when she was young. My other grandfather, my father's dad, died of cancer. And then I got another one, dad's stepdad, that's still alive, we get along well.
My best friend Justin supported me through everything I've been through so far, he's that one person I can always go to with my problems. He was the only friend I had left after switching schools.
But, when I was 15, my life took a dark turn, something I never expected to happen.
