My sister was based on  Meaghan and she  was on the road to eating disorder recovery. On Sunday, Spetember 17, 2016, she was admitted to the hospital after a suicide attempt and a BMI of 14.7. After days of not eating, she made the decision that she did not want to live forever in the hospital. She did not want to be dependent on a feeding tube and did not want to be afraid of having seizures. She wanted to be happy.

However, she was likely also suffering from a genetic disorder that prevented her from fully healing with her eating disorder and from having her wish of no feeding tube or seizures and ultimately ruined her body. 

This first half is about a girl based on my sister and the second half is my story, after her life.

TW: this book may contain mentions of violence and of suicide. DISCLAIMER #1: I wrote this story when I was a teen and while some mental disorders are the focal point, they may not be accurate representations as I was far from being a psychologist. There are several things Lynn doesn't quite get about the world she lives in, which makes it harder for her to figure herself out. She is not your average teenager. She's young, intelligent, though something about her is off by now. Everyone is quick to misjudge and point fingers, everything and everyone is so corrupted that she's afraid she'll lose herself among a bunch of wandering, empty souls. Therapy can only help so much, depression is hard to die, and in Lynn's case it's caused solely by the fact she doesn't 'fit in'. She can't really find her place in the world. But there's something really special about her; Her dreams are haunted by a wonderful, mystical place. No one understands her, they think she's off her rocker, that she needs to cut her childish daydreams. But Lynn knows deep in her heart that place really exists, and she'll do anything to find it, with the help of some new found friends. There's only one thing she must do: Keep an open mind, it brings open hearts and open eyes. -- DISCLAIMER #2 This fanfiction is inspired to Mind Over Matter by Pvris and their lyrics in general. All you read here is fiction. every reference to real events or people is purely coincidental. I do not own the songs featured in the book.

Let's just hope Jules gets her happy ending... ~ "GET OFF ME! GET THE HELL OFF ME! I DON'T LIKE BEING TOUCHED! GET THE FUCK OFF ME. TOM PLEASE HELP ME. TOM! PLEASE GET THEM OFF ME. I'M SO SCARED!" Jules's fragile body was making a forceful connection with the cold and unsympathetic ground. Her bloodline exiting and tainting her body and all of the surroundings. Her painful and emotional screams echoed the white corridor, while Jules's body shook and shivered, and dizzy spells with blurry covered eyes; forced her body and mind to experience a feeling of disconnection. The fit of fear that swirled in the pit of Jules's stomach made her head jolt violently side to side, along with front and back; causing her forehead to strike the floor. ~TW: Eating disorder, suicide and self harm mentioned throughout~

This is a collaborative novel between StoryZen, who will post the same story on Inkitt, and me. Every summer, kids around the country attend summer camp. There are camps for every type of child, including sports, drama, art, and science. There are even camps for kids with disabilities and chronic illnesses. A place where they feel a little less conspicuous regarding their medical needs. These camps allow kids to be in a safe, supportive and tolerant environment where their medical needs don't set them apart. Mia is excited about spending another summer at Camp Big Pine. This is her third summer, and, now that she's 13, Mia's in the 'big girls' cabin. But Mia's also a little nervous. Camp Big Pine is full of kids with different abilities and illnesses. This year, Mia's coming with a new diagnosis, a new food restriction and a new mobility aid. Mia now walks with crutches, something she didn't have last summer. She's also been diagnosed with Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) and has also been told she is to avoid cheese. Cheese! Her favourite food! How will she survive? Alex doesn't belong at Camp Big Pine. It's a camp for kids with disabilities who are in wheelchairs and on crutches and stuff like that. Alex doesn't have a disability. Alex has Type 1 Diabetes, and that's not a disability. It just means she has to be careful about what she eats, ensure she takes insulin every time, and ensure she knows how to check if her sugar is too high or too low and how to treat that. That's not a disability. Alex doesn't want to be at Camp Big Pine. And she will do her best to get kicked out and sent home if she doesn't run away first. Something happens that forces Mia and Alex to rely on each other. And the last thing Alex wants to do is rely on anyone. Can Alex help Mia see that her life really doesn't have to change as much as she thinks, even with new restrictions? Can Mia help Alex see that being different doesn't mean you're broken?
