In the summer of 2017, I went on a diet. Unfortunately, that diet took over me and I lost almost half my weight. That diet turned into an eating disorder that almost killed me. Luckily, I had a great support system and an amazing team of doctors, so I was able to have a somewhat speedy recovery. I wrote all about my experiences and though personal, I do hope that I am able to help some people that are going through the same thing.
Eating disorders can happen to anyone, regardless of race, sexuality, ethnicity, age, gender, etc.
If you or anyone you know is suffering from an eating disorder, call the national eating disorder helpline 1-800-931-2237.

Falling Apart
*TRIGGER WARNING: DEALS WITH DEPRESSION, SELF HARM AND SUICIDE* Amber is sixteen years old and to sugarcoat it... She hasn't had the best upbringing. She would love a different life, one where she can see her mother again and not be stuck with her abusive father. A life where she doesn't get taunted and hit and torn apart by everyone who she has ever seen. But she would never swap, she doesn't want anyone to endure the pain she's gone through. So instead, she tries to get rid of it... Again. But much to her disbelief, she is saved by the people she would least expect. She learns secrets about them that no one else knows. She feels included. Cared for. And dare I say it... She felt loved. For once in her life, she felt truly happy to be alive. But just when Amber felt safe, her life was flipped upside down and her past came back to haunt her just when she least expected it...

Fix Me, I'm Broken
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.

Trapped Souls (Inside The Minds Of The Mentally Ill)
This story is about dealing with many mental illnesses. The experiences of the mentally ill. How it feels to be in their mind, and feeling how they feel. Depression is not an act. Eating disorders aren't phases. Suicide isn't a coward's escape. Self-Harming is not a cry for attention. WARNING! This may be very triggering! Read with caution!!!! I did use a lot of quotes from online places, but a lot of it did come from my own (mentally ill) mind. I have been mentally ill for pretty much all of my life, and just started to get help, and realized that now I don't want help. This writing is for all of you that suffer from mental illnesses. I am terribly sorry if you get offended in any kind of way, again, read with caution.Complete
