Manicepisode Stories

"Campbell! Wake up. Campbell!" "Rowan, whaddya want? It's 4:30 in the mornin'." _______ In which Campbell, is woken up in the middle of the night for books, music, and dancing. Or at least that what Rowan keeps rambling on about.

This is the recollection of my previous manic episode where I was prostituted in the ghetto of Memphis and doing crack cocaine. I found myself in disgusting motels with cockroaches and blood on the sheets. After sharing the details of my story I've become aware that the use of a date rape drug may have been used on me in addition to my mania. Eventually I got in the hands of some different men and one of them knew the owner of a laundry mat. Wash World. They got me out of my bright red dress and put me in comfy sweatpants and slippers from a bin of stuff people had left behind. They gave me a phone and said "Call your Dad." He had been trying to hunt me down. He was paying homeless men to search for me and tracking my ATM usage since my card had been compromised by the other men I was with. They drained my accounts.

A small snippet of my life story in poem form.

Hey there! This is a story inspired by my real life experience with mental illness. I went through five solid years of each and every medical treatment making me worse off than before. This led up to a medically induced mixed-mood-manic episode in 2018. In fact, the way I knew I was manic was by waking up one day out of the blue writing poetry. Something I had never done before but I couldn't stop writing poetry for ten solid months. This book explores my real life frustration, hopelessness, and unorthodox ways of coping. I don't condone the use of dissociation from reality to cope, but, sometimes, reality is truly too much to bare. This book deals with adult themes, mental illness, mental hospitals, mental illness treatment, medication, cursing, trauma, and suicidal ideation. Probably not suited for everyone but, for those of you that are ready, I hope it speaks to you. This is my first time on Wattpad and my first time writing something that resembles a book. Thanks so much for taking the time to check out my work!

A story in which Killer spawns in our world and meets you. Enjoy having Bipolar disorder, btw, bc it tends to slip into my writing since I only write when having a manic episode for some reason. (Completely abandoned story btw. Just uploading it so if anyone feels inspired to continue it or write something else inspired/based on it, they can)
