Authors Note
I have depression and anxiety myself so hopefully, with my experiences with mental illness, I will make it as realistic as possible. I am also basing Lou's experience with mental illness based off of mine. People experience mental illness in different ways. And I don't want to seem basic saying this but, I know what it's like to feel broken, and it takes time to get better. If you feel like this just know, that there will be somebody who'll help you. You're not alone.
