Ella Norton Is Fine

Ella Norton is fine. At least that's what she tells everyone, including herself. So what if her energy is rock bottom? And so what if she eases her stress with a pair of scissors to her wrist? She isn't going to kill herself, and as long as that's true, Ella is as good as fine.

But the pressure keeps mounting. Her job isn't right for her, but she cares too much about the people she feeds. Her narcist father is unpredictable with his outbursts. Her mother's health is unstable. Her brother is moving away, and her doctors are starting to really worry about her.

But she's fine. She's sure of it.

As Ella falls deeper and deeper into herself she starts to cave in. Nothing seems to be helping her, not the medicine, not the piano, not her painting, nothing. And a few too many tearful words to her doctor lands her in a new treatment plan that she doesn't want and isn't ready for.

But it makes her wonder- just how not fine is she? And how did she get there?
