When you start losing your memories. When you start losing yourself. When you start becoming the spectator of your own life, what do you do? How are you supposed to restart when nothing's the same anymore? 
The effects of Alzheimer's disease are irresistible. Nobody's at fault, really. 
But that doesn't make it any easier. The slow, creeping fog that dims the world around you-faces, names, places-becomes more than just a nuisance. It becomes a thief. Stealing moments, stealing connections, stealing yourself. Your life turns to sand, slipping through your fingers no matter how much you try to hold on. 

What can you do? Do you fight against it, hold onto every shred of memory with desperate hands? Or do you accept the inevitable, surrendering to the quiet unraveling of who you were, to become someone new-someone unrecognizable, even to yourself?

Cold Water by adaline_meadows
44 parts Complete
[BWWM] I was only twelve years old when the world turned cold. The day my mom died in that car accident, I felt like someone had dumped a bucket of ice water over my heart. My dad, who had always been my hero, suddenly became a stranger, filled with rage and blame. He couldn't see that I was hurting, too; he only saw me as a reminder of his loss. The accusations cut deep. He said it was my fault for being there, for not doing something to save her. For being the reason she was in the car in the first place. In the years that followed, things only got worse. The abuse started gradually-a harsh word here, a shove there-but it escalated, leaving scars that I carried long after the physical pain faded. I was drowning in my own despair, struggling to keep my head above water while my father's anger raged like a storm around me. I only had a break from his anger when I started living with Aunt Dina-my mom's older sister. Well, that was because she found me nearly dead on my bed after I took a dozen pills. I was tired of living. I had hit rock bottom. The harsh whispers that followed me around and the stares at school. I pretended not to notice, like it didn't bother me. But it did. I was alone. Then came Athalia, a ray of sunshine cutting through my darkness. With her, I felt something I hadn't felt in years-happiness. She became my light through the darkness and my lifeline. ••••••••••• ● Warnings ⚠️ ~ Mention of suicide ~ Anxiety attacks ~ Rape attempt ~ Mention of self-harm ~ Depression

When my father left my mother and me for a better life, I was devastated and naively thought my life couldn't get any worse. How wrong I was. My new stepfather decided he was entitled to my body, and my mother became an alcoholic who did her best to ignore my existence. My only solace in life was my younger twin stepsisters and my best friend, Dane. Over time, Dane and I became more than friends; he knew my deepest, darkest secrets, and I knew his. When I turned sixteen, I couldn't stand my stepfather's abuse any longer, so I reached out to my father and begged him to take me in. Overnight I went from sleeping in a putrid-smelling, cramped trailer to living in a mansion. It was there that I met the devil himself. Disguised as my new, breath-taking stepbrother, Ryder. Ryder and his three best friends, Saint, West and Lawson turned my world upside down. At first, they possessively loved and adored me; unfortunately, that all changed the night of my junior prom, where my life went from bad to worse. The four boys I had grown to trust with my secrets and body turned on me when the queen bitch of the school shared a video with them. Now my only allies in life are Dane and a sweetheart named Matt, who is willing to take any beating my stepbrother and his friends give him to stay at my side. Life had always handed me lemons; was I strong enough to turn those bitches into lemonade? Trigger warnings: Dub/Con, Non/Con, SA, Drug use, Self harm, Murder.

The Unstuck Code: How I Broke Free From Executive Dysfunction

9 parts Complete Mature

Are you stuck in a loop of endless planning and zero action? Do you get lost in daydreams while real life slips away? This book isn't for polished gurus. It's my raw, unedited story of battling executive dysfunction, mental fog, and crippling inconsistency. At 33, I was a master of "big talk, do nothing." Then, I found an unconventional path - a "New Diet System" that wasn't just about food, but about reclaiming my mind and body. For nine months, I hit a hyperfocus limitless mode and became unstoppable. This isn't medical advice; it's the honest, messy truth of how I activated my secret weapon against a life of missed potential. If you're tired of just thinking about change, read this.
