In an attempt to silence the chaos inside, she turns to drugs and alcohol, spiraling deeper into addiction as she tries to numb the pain. But with every reckless decision and every night lost to oblivion, she feels herself slipping further away. Caught between survival and surrender, Madeline is forced to confront her fractured past, face her inner demons, and decide if she can find the strength to reclaim her life-or be lost to the darkness forever.
This description keeps the focus on Madeline's DID while also emphasizing her full range of mental health challenges and her struggle with addiction, showing the inner conflict between her desire for escape and the hope of finding peace.

Suicidal
This is the story of an abused teenage girl, Maddie. Her need to die has become overwhelming and she is trying to find a way to help herself before she does something she may regret. The story is told from her point of view as she recalls all that has happened to her. Maybe telling her story will help her, maybe not. This isn't just any other sob story. This is more realistic. You may even find yourself comparing your life to Maddie's while reading this story. Disclosure: I wrote this as a 13-year-old and the writing is definitely not up to my current standards, but I feel as though changing what I have already written would take away from the emotion I put into this story at 13 years old. If you'd like an updated and more well-written version, please read my other story entitled "Remembering".
