PANS stands for Pediatric Acute Autoimmune Syndrome, the disease i was diagnosed with in April 2014 after a year of not knowing what was wrong. Researchers are only beginning to study and understand this syndrome, and therefore there are a lot of unanswered questions about what it is . What they do know is that abnornal antibodies in your blood start attacking your brain after having a strep infection, causing mental ilnesses symptoms. This is my story. I used a normal kid, barely missed any school, straight A's, a lot of friends, and yes I can say I actually was happy. I say "I used" because all that changed.
2 years, Depression, Suicidal thoughts, Anxiety, OCD, Hallucinations, Surgery and several hospital visits later, here I am telling my story. Because I live with an invisible illness. But hang on till the end because it all ends well. Well kind of.
My life did go to shit.
Triggers: My life depression has mentions of suicidal thought, cutting, and other things related to death. It's also cringe 2018 teen stuff. If you don't like these topics, don't read this book of my experience with depression. Look for another book.
