Happiness is a Finite Resource

A story about a Schizophrenic girl and an Ex-Con both trying to find their place in the world.
What could go wrong?

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

I made this story because I honestly haven't seen a single story on Wattpad that does a good job of fairly representing Schizophrenia and that bothers me. So many stories just portray Scizophrenia as some sort of superpower that allows you to magically create delusions, like an Imaginary Boyfriend, or a Dead Parent, or Harry Styles. But none of these stories address many of the incredibly debilitating consequences of having Schizophrenia, like Sky High Suicide rates, or the oftentimes Brutal Sideffects of medication, the idea that you aren't sane enough to make your own decisions, or the horror involved with living your entire life haunted by voices you cannot control.
This story will tackle those things.

Another thing to consider is that this story is best read on a computer. I wrote Allysa's Auditory Hallucinations (AKA Voices) so that they seem sort of all over the place. It looks good on the PC but on a cell phone, different lines can get cut off. It's still readable, but it's just a little clunkier. (which is fine, because that's sort of a fair representation of Schizophrenia anyway.)
