Because You Are Beautiful [Para-noir pt 1]
TW: Depression, Self Harm, Suicide, Abuse, PTSD, Rape, ED, Flashbacks, Borderline Personality Disorder My first Johnilyn fic. It's AU and as you can guess from the trigger warning maybe not suitable for everyone. It takes place in early 1984 - I changed Johnny's age, he is 17 and Brian 15 years old. The plot: Brian is hospitalised after attempting suicide. He meets Johnny in the closed ward. If you think you want to know what else my messed up brain came up with: Read it :) Btw English isn't my first language, so please dm any major mistakes. Thx in advance <3Complete
Mental
Warning this story is based on true stories. Every person that the main character encounters has their own story based on true stories submitted to me anonymously by people who work in the psych field or who have been in a psych ward themselves. The main character is based on me and my current mental state. I came up with the idea for this story while I was in a psych ward, I hope it can entertain you while also making you feel things. Enjoy.Complete
White Rabbit
Diana is falling apart at the seams. After she graduates high school, her parents kick her off their insurance and, no longer able to afford her medication for her bipolar disorder, turns to street drugs as a relief. Nobody in her life is in a rush to get her out of it. Then she overdoses. She ends up in a hospital, because she's terrified if she doesn't, she'll go to jail. While she's there, Diana meets a number of women who have all been abandoned to the system like her, and people she would normally hate become close, if temporary, friends. With their help, recovery doesn't seem so far away, after all. I don't know what's wrong with wattpad, tags are broken and I can't add any more than I already have, so here are some content warnings: attempted suicide, drug overdose (heroin), drug use, self harm (cutting), eating disorder mention (bulimia), implied past sexual assault, victim blaming, psychosis, hallucinations, ocd, bipolar disorder, forced medication, psychiatric hospitalComplete
