Истории Cyclothymia

There is so much stigma on mental illness. Especially with people thinking suicide is a selfish act, when it is someone's last resort to end their suffering. The stigma on mental illness makes those who have a mental issue more reluctant to get any sort of help.

{e} english • {g} german That one's not a story composed in a plot like with characters and stuff. It won't be. There'll be characters appearing and I didn't bother changing their names. Those are thoughts, mostly, but also poems and moments, preserved in words. I'm not good with storylines but I know I'm good at this and I try. Enjoy as long as you can, as long as you want or need. Welcome to the jungle! Das hier ist keine zusammenhängende Geschichte, denn sowas kann ich nicht. Die Charaktere sind wechselnd, nicht stetig, die Namen nicht geändert, denn das ändert am Gesamtkonzept nichts. Es sind Gedanken, die ich mir manchmal mache und es sind Gedichte, die ich mal geschrieben habe oder Momente, festgehalten in Worten. Ich hab das Schreiben von zusammenhängenden Texten nicht drauf, aber das hier kann ich und das weiß ich und ich freue mich, wenn ihr das hier genießt, solange ihr könnt. Willkommen in meinem Leben, willkommen in meinem Kopf. Current titles: - excerpts from a book I'll never write - a writers diary

Just a kind of a journal for my dark mind.
