As if growing up without a mother wasn't hard enough, Dean Winchester also struggles living with his father - a victim of Bipolar I Depressive Disorder.

John Winchester just wants what is best for his family, even if that means seeking treatment in one of the most controversial ways - electroconvulsive therapy (commonly known as ECT or shock therapy).

Castiel Novak is just trying to get through college. All he wants is to survive another day.

"NorMaL" is a story that deals with love and loss, mental illness and the treatments, and the strength of family through anything.

Rise by MissJina

New Years Eve 2018 is one that will go down in history, that is if anyone survives to see 2019. Alice Cunningham is living her dream college life in New York City just like she'd always planned. She might be 3,000 miles from home, but shes happy. She's at the school she's always wanted, about to score an internship at a huge children's publishing house, and has a small group of friends who "get" her. On her list of dreams is to experience the ball drop in Times Square, so when her roommate asks her to go she doesn't hesitate to say no. Things turn ugly when one of their friends gets a hold of a drug that turns one night of fun into something straight out of a horror film. Derek Wolcot wasn't always his name. Four years ago at 17 he was pulled from his home in Southern California because of his fathers mistakes, leaving behind the one person he cared about the most. One minute they were planning their futures and in the next he vanished off the grid, literally. When his fathers mistakes catch up with them on New Years Eve life could go either way for Derek and his family. Their lives could be compromised or they might be the only ones who survive. Things become even more complicated for Alice and Derek when their paths cross, Derek knows who she is, but Alice can't even remember her own self enough to remember him. Derek does everything in his power to keep her at a distance, but now that she's back in his life he's finding it hard to let go.

Fix Me, I'm Broken by Ana11e1y

Walking into an empty house is normal to me. I guess I got tired of saying 'I'm home' when nobody is home to reply. It wasn't always like this. I remember when our family was close. Now we don't see each other any more. We don't talk to each other. We don't eat with each other. We don't ACKNOWLEDGE each other. This all happened after my 'Mother' killed herself. My father blames me. This is my story about how I learned to not count on anyone else but myself. I'm broken. I'm used. No one can fix me. But when the New Boy in town tries to fix me, everything will change. Good change or Bad change, I don't know. Only time will tell. I want to enter this story in the #Wattys2015 please help me out and vote and comment on my story. I'll really appreciate it!!! #Wattys2015 COPYRIGHTED Â© 2014 BY Anallely ALL RIGHTS RESERVED Â®

All It Took // Jonah Marais by baby_kuwonu

Based off the movie: Everything, Everything "I'm not really sick am I?" This is my whole world. My nurse, my mom, my sickness. I'm 18 and I've never been outside. If I did. . . I would probably die. Hi, I'm Lily. Lily probably sounds like a normal name given to a normal girl. A girl that goes to the mall with her friends on the weekend, goes to parties, is popular? Well that's not me. I'm not normal. I deal with severe combined immunodeficiency, or for short SCID. That means I'm allergic to any and everything. I've never been outside. My whole life I've been blocked from the outside world by a thick layer of glass. But that changed when he came. All it took was one smile.

Alive by lisaeslack

Romance, Drama, Psychological Oliver Stanton and Ellenor Stevens have more in common than their love for theatre. A need to escape. For Elle it's compulsions. For Oliver it's mania. When fate pulls them together, they find something new. A reason to face things. But after Oliver's attempt to get better goes horrifically wrong, he begins to wonder. Does he really need to be "normal"? Or is it enough to just be alive? An exploration of death, life, and love through the lens of mental illness.

Soldier Boy by ATelepathAndAPsycho

Dean Winchester has always done as told. With a father who's a general, a dead mother, and a little brother he's always got to look out for, he's never really just done what he's wanted. Castiel Novak has always done what he's thought was best. With an almost-absent father, no mother to speak of, and older brothers that are constantly hounding him, he has no privacy. Not to mention the family drama with his oldest brothers, Lucifer and Michael. Best friends since childhood, they completely understand one another and love each other. But Dean didn't realize how deeply Castiel loved him until sparks flew between them. How will Dean react? How will their families react?

A Daddy for Me by missyswife37

Dean Winchester has suffered from abuse physically, mentally, and sexually at the hands of those he should have been able to trust most from the earliest, most formative years in his life. The betrayal from those familial and romantic relationships caused him to regress to the mentality of a 2-year-old to cope with the trauma he endured, despite him being in his early twenties. It is a condition called Involuntary Age Regression. His life changes when he is found by a shelter and later by Sam Wesson. This is the story of two people brought together to complete a family. This story is about love, compassion, understanding, and care of another human being. It is about the development of trust between a caretaker and his charge. This is not to disrespect those with disabilities in any form. This is a real condition that happens in life; I'm trying to bring it to light. This story is cute and fun, but it is not Crack or to mislead you that this is just fiction. This is just one part of the story Daddy For Me. To get the full story you would have to read.
