Mentalhealth Stories

FREE STORY WITH EXCLUSIVE CONTENT. This is *not* a Paid Story. Eighteen-year-old hockey prodigy Elliot Wexler has three goals for senior year. One: somehow graduate with a 3.5 GPA. Two: hide his bipolar disorder from his peers. And three: make it into the NHL with no scandals. Piece of cake. What he doesn't expect is to find Lucy, a homeless girl, hiding from the winter frost in his dad's shed. Elliot's busy, complicated life doesn't permit room for error, and falling in love with a girl from a totally different world sounds like the opposite of a good idea. But Elliot can't help but be drawn to Lucy and her elusive ways--even when she seems to vanish from his life non-stop, each time leaving him with a bigger hole in his heart. But Elliot is determined to break down Lucy's barriers. And when he does, he discovers that her life is more complicated--and dangerous--than he could have imagined. With drafting season approaching, and Elliot's fragile mental health deteriorating, he's forced to face a difficult question: Is first love supposed to hurt so much? *** PLEASE DO NOT ADD THIS STORY TO GOODREADS.

Ravenshore Academy is built on pressure, privilege, and boys who don't know how to be gentle. Damien Moretti, Nathan Moretti, and Nate Moretti rule the halls with fists, smirks, and reputations sharp enough to cut. They're the kind of boys everyone avoids - loud, reckless, untouchable. Everyone except Josh Mercer. Josh is the swim team's quiet prodigy - disciplined, focused, and determined to stay invisible. But invisibility doesn't work on Damien and his crew. They shove him in hallways, mock him in the cafeteria, and make sure he never forgets his place. He's their favorite target. Their quiet punching bag. Their reminder that power is something you take. But everything shifts when Ravenshore announces a new cross‑training program: the hockey team and swim team will be training together. Eight practices a week. Seven lanes. Three hockey boys per lane. And Josh is assigned the worst possible combination: Damien. Nathan. Nate. His three tormentors. His three shadows. His three problems. Forced into close proximity, Josh becomes the one responsible for teaching them how to survive in the water. The boys who used to laugh at him now have to listen to him, watch him, rely on him. Lines blur. Power shifts. And the boys who once made his life miserable start looking at him differently - too closely, too long, too intensely. Josh doesn't know what's more dangerous: the way they used to treat him... or the way they're starting to now. ---

When life's rollercoaster throws you off track, do you scream, or do you hold on tight? For Ira and Rudraksh, the journey is far from smooth: one suffocating under the weight of failure, the other nursing a heart shattered into pieces. Two strangers caught in life's ugliest turns, where every step forward is a fight against invisible battles. This is not a story of being saved by each other, but of learning to live despite the wreckage, of finding the courage to stand when the ground never stops shaking. But if their paths converge-bringing their emotions and differences-will they find solace in each other, or will those very differences pull them apart? ✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️ This is a character-driven literary fiction set in a contemporary world, where every character breathes fully and every emotion unfolds in its own time. It is the kind of story that feels less like something you read and more like something you live beside, watching the characters grow, falter, heal, and discover themselves at their own pace. If you have a moment, and a heart willing to feel deeply and quietly, I invite you into this universe of mine. And if you wish to know more, simply explore the tags.
