She's selectively mute, an emotional empath, and tired of being seen as fragile. School is survivable-until Camila and her crew decide it's time to break her silence. Zee talks enough for both of them. Fast-talking, jittery, and always smiling, Zee is May's closest friend... but she's also battling early-onset schizophrenia and hiding a lot behind that grin. And then there's Isaac Panell. Kind, observant, curious Isaac-who may or may not be May's friend. Because sometimes he's laughing with Camila. Sometimes he's apologizing with his eyes. And sometimes, he's just... gone. He's the gay wild card. Three teens. Three truths. One school where silence is dangerous, and secrets are louder than words. 🌙 Characters: May Crudence - 13 years old - Selectively mute - Emotional empath - Speaks only to Owen (her brother) and sometimes Zee - Quiet, sensitive, smart-and so much more than what people assume - Her silence isn't weakness. It's survival. Zandra "Zee" Alinos - 13 years old - Diagnosed with early-onset schizophrenia - Hyper, talkative, and always on the move - May's best (and maybe only) friend - Her voice fills every silence-partly because she's afraid of what she'll hear if it doesn't. Isaac Panell - 13 years old - Gay, emotionally complex - Camila's tagalong... but maybe not by choice - Wants to do the right thing. Doesn't always succeed. - May trusts him. But should she? ✨ Mute is a story about trauma, friendship, betrayal, and what it means to be heard-even when you can't speak. 📚 Updates weekly. 💛 Add to your Library if you've ever felt like the quiet one in a loud world.

A flashfiction written by a college student. Mentions blood and slight self harm.

Telling the truth and being honest isn't always the easiest thing to do. During my Sophomore year I was going through some mental problems. I wanted to just tell someone about these issues. However, I was too scared to tell someone because of the fear of being labeled as a crazy person. I didn't want anyone to think that I was just some sort of deranged lunatic that should be locked up in a mental institution...

A cure is possible! I found a cure. If you don't have somebody to talk to you as a human being, feel free to message me.

Happiness, contentment, salvation, escape -- a trick to your mind and a deception to your soul. Everything is fake. Everyone is a ghost in your dream.

This is an excerpt from my first story SDITF, which is currently incomplete. The excerpt is not going to tell you explicitly, but this excerpt does not take place in the present era of the main story. I am also not going to tell you exactly what anything in this excerpt means, so you will have to piece it together yourself. Enjoy! Also, the main reason I wrote this, was for a state writing contest within highschools in orlando. Anyways, enjoy! (this shit is written in a very confusing way on purpose, just look at the tags.)

Like the colours of a rainbow , My mind too can be bright. I dont really have a fixed style of writing. I just go with the flow! I touch on topics of love , thoughts , emotions and even life. Mental health is a large contributing factor in most of these poems.

I come to you in tears from my bedroom telling you my life story in hopes it will help another lost boy.

This is a story about a girl. A girl named Cailin Mathews. Let us just say she has more issues than Vogue. Times three.

This story is based on real events. This is written from the perspective of a child living with a parent, diagnosed with a severe mental illness. It is a coming of age story about addiction, mental illness, abuse, healing, family, and forgiveness. It shows the viewpoint of a child getting caught in the chaos, pain, and confusion of mental illness. Writing this was cathartic and painful. It forced me to confront feelings, accept harsh truths, and grieve the reality of the losses experienced. It also helped me to appreciate the gifts that the past provided and helped me to gain deeper compassion for my mother and her illness. I got to know myself and my family very well in reflecting on my life. In the 23 years since I left home, I have confronted my feelings about my mother's schizoaffective diagnosis and accepted the experiences of my unusual childhood. The complexity, shame, loss, anger, and difficulty of living with mental illness is not easy, especially for children. It has taken time and reflection for me to get to a place of freedom. Showing my scars no longer feels frightening. I no longer need to hide my truth. This crazy, painful, tragic, and beautiful life - is a painting with a thousand strokes and varied colors that don't always match perfectly alongside each other. The painting that is my life is both beautiful and ugly, and this is my story.

My name is Kari, and I come from a fantasy land, where you see and hear things that aren't there, paranoia kicks your ass, and high emotional status. No, I do not do drugs. This is what I deal with everyday. It's called schizoaffective disorder. Schizoaffective disorder is a disorder of which schizophrenia and bipolar combine. It's a complicated illness; but please, I beg of you, just listen. Age of diagnosis-16. Year-2008. Age now-25. I've come along way since I was first diagnosed. It all came about when I had my first suicide attempt at the age if 16. I overdosed on hydrocodone and alcohol. I was found, unconscious. I was taken to a hospital by ambulance. A day later, I was sent to the mental hospital for the first time. They diagnosed me with depression and put me on antidepressants. It obviously didn't work. About 5 months later they finally found a label for me...schizoaffective. The psychiatric hospital visits continued about at least once a year, and of course they still do. My illness, is in itself, a wild card. You never know what to expect. Okay, so about the illness. The things I hear and see are unbearable. I've seen many crazy things...demons...shadows...even Kurt Cobain! Yes, Kurt and I shared a special relationship. Then I was let down when I found out he wasn't real. By the way, my first suicide attempt wasn't my last. I've attempted suicide various times; cutting, overdose on pills, stabbing myself...need I say more? So, that's my vague story about what I go through on a daily basis. I hope you enjoyed it. Schizoaffective disorder is a serious matter. If you or a loved one might think they have it, please set up an appointment with a psychiatrist. It's nothing to be embarrassed by and there is no cure. But meds do help.

After the explosion that shook the entire village upon hearing the news, Ollie and Grant Asher-Simms desperately want to live a normal life, though it's very hard with Grant's newfound fame, Ollie's mental illness, their past addictions, and both of them seemingly at the centre of a new crime in the village. They soon need to realize that life in Spruceworth is anything but normal.

My Beautiful Psychosis is a gritty tale of transformation which shows us the most extreme experiences a human mind can endure. The story takes place over a series of seven so-called psychotic episodes: through the harsh landscapes of the psychiatric wards but also a pilgrimage, from troubled twenty-something to a respected documentary filmmaker and campaigner for a new perspective on mental health and wellbeing. It has a powerful message to convey and turns on its head the idea that psychosis is a debilitating illness, caused by a brain chemical imbalance, which requires medication for life. The book questions fundamental beliefs about how the world is. It is an intense, honest and lucid memoir, an exposing and vulnerable adventure through a psyche that is spilling out undigested psychological material to reveal secrets from a past that has been forgotten. Psychosis is portrayed as the psyche's attempt to integrate them and become whole. But the psychiatric system pathologises these experiences, seeking to 'help' by relieving the distress through antipsychotics. Whilst medication is sometimes useful, it doesn't really attend to the deeper need: for validation, compassionate holding, skilful navigation and most of all grounding. I wrote this book to inspire others who have been given a label that has severely restricted their lives, to act as a beacon of light for them to reclaim the power of their own innate healing ability. It is also to educate their family and friends as well as to give mental health professionals a different perspective so that they can better support those in crisis.
