Why Us? (mental illness short stories)

one in four people live with mental illnesses of some kind. It's terrible all mental and emotional strength that they have is ripped from them, they can't control their thoughts, their thoughts control them. I hope to take you on a trip of what some of these people deal with, as well as the people around them. Some can get out, some don't. It's unfortunate. But they all have to wonder, Why us?
