depersonalization life mentalhealt

"Sometimes the heaviest battles are the ones no one else can see."

Hani has always been the quiet girl-polite, present, and perfectly okay on the outside. But behind her tired eyes is a storm she's fought alone for years. Diagnosed with double depression, Hani's world begins to unravel as her treatment pulls her deeper into the very pain she tried to bury.

When she's admitted to a mental health facility, healing is the last thing she expects. There, she meets others like her-people carrying different versions of the same weight. Through broken conversations, soft friendships, and a pink notebook filled with strawberry doodles, Hani starts to see the raw and unfiltered truth: that depression doesn't have just one face, one story, or one ending.

This is a story of invisible scars, misunderstood pain, and the quiet strength it takes to simply exist.

A Cup with Your Name on It | Han Jisung by Vinbinnn

Jisung is exhausted. Burnt out from performing, from expectations, from being known by everyone but seen by no one. On a rainy morning in a city that never really slows down, he walks into a small café tucked between a laundromat and a closed-down bookstore - the kind of place that doesn't ask questions. Rin just wants to get through another shift without the espresso machine exploding or flooding the back sink. The café isn't fancy, but it's hers - a quiet routine, a rhythm she can live inside. She doesn't recognize the guy with the complicated coffee order and tired eyes, and when he comes back the next day, and the day after, she still doesn't ask. Between mismatched mugs, bad puns on chalkboards, after-hours cleanups, and silence that doesn't need filling, something grows. Something safe. Something real. She doesn't know who he is. He doesn't know she used to be someone else, too. But somehow, this café becomes a place neither of them want to leave. Even when the outside world catches up. ━━━✦❘༻༺❘✦━━━━━━ This is a soft slice-of-life friendship story set in a quiet café. It's platonic, grounded, and full of late-night vulnerability, awkward honesty, quiet defiance, and tea that says everything they won't. No romance. Just two people learning to be themselves - slowly, safely, together. A soft, platonic story about showing up, staying quiet, and finding home where you weren't looking for it. Thanks for reading. I hope this feels like a warm drink on a heavy day. ~CURRENTLY UNDER EDITING~

My childhood friend, who had been making fun of me behind my back, stopped me. "Hey, don't turn into what you used to be!" "--I'm a convenient childhood friend who pays the bills. You said you didn't like me because I was annoying. Then stay the hell away from me."

Malum | Hyunjsung | Chanlix by lunatikap

Hyunjin + Han Han Jisung keeps his fears locked behind careful routines, but anxiety claws at him in quiet, relentless ways. Hyunjin moves through the world with effortless confidence, yet beneath the surface, temptation and obsession twist his nights into restless chaos. They meet in a place meant for broken pieces to be shared-anonymously, carefully, without judgment-but even here, masks slip, and raw edges scrape against each other. In stolen glances and half-spoken words, they recognize something dangerous and familiar in the other: vulnerability wrapped in talent, pride veiled by fragility. Their connection grows in the spaces no one else sees-where panic collides with desire, and secrets threaten to unravel. This is a story about craving, control, and the fragile line between dependence and surrender. Addiction does not arrive politely. It seeps through the cracks of your body first, invisible and patient, curling around nerves and pulses until it feels like a part of you. You do not notice when it takes its first hold; one moment you think you are choosing, and the next, it is choosing for you. It wraps around the mind, soft and tender at first, then tightening, relentless, a shadow that moves with every thought, every breath. It is seductive and suffocating, a hunger that speaks in whispers, coaxing compliance, demanding surrender, testing your pride and will. To resist is to feel your own fragility, to yield is to feel your own dissolution. And when you try to reclaim yourself, it fights back-every heartbeat, every emotion, every desire becomes a battlefield. Some call it weakness; some call it fate. But it is neither. It is life, in its rawest, cruelest gravity, and to face it is to face yourself. This book is fiction!

Those Crimson Eyes- Denial by Wonderman32

Joi thought she was losing her mind. After a strange and violent night in the woods, nothing felt real anymore. The shadows moved wrong. The dreams bled into her days. And the thing she saw-the thing that saved her-couldn't have been real. Everyone told her it was trauma. Hallucinations. Her own brain turning against her. But deep down, Joi knew something was watching. Something real. As her grip on reality slips, she finds herself pulled back to the woods, drawn to the impossible. And the more she searches for answers, the more she begins to wonder: What if madness isn't the lie? What if it's the only truth left?

Limitless Conversations by Amreek7

Two people. One bench. A thousand memories between them. What began as simple laughter and late-night calls turned into distance, silence, and unspoken words. They loved each other once - deeply, painfully - but life had other plans. Between miscommunication, loss, and time, they drifted apart... leaving only echoes of what they used to be. Years later, fate brings them back to the same place where everything began - the bench beneath the streetlight. Only this time, they're not the same people who once fell in love. She's learned to rebuild herself from the quiet, to find meaning through her writing and the ghosts of her past. He's learned to stop running, to sit with his emotions, and to rediscover the parts of himself he once gave away. What follows isn't a love story in the traditional sense - it's a story about understanding. About heartbreak that transforms instead of destroys. About growth that doesn't erase what came before but gives it purpose. Because sometimes, love doesn't vanish. It just changes shape. And sometimes, the most powerful conversations are the ones that never really end - they simply wait for you to come back.

The Weight of Blue Skies by dearadulting

Mae has spent years holding herself together, until she can't anymore. A gifted illustrator, she's always found solace in her art, but burnout, anxiety, and the ghosts of childhood trauma leave her untethered. Quitting her job and retreating into isolation, Mae convinces herself that silence is safer. That disappearing is easier. But when the weight becomes unbearable, she takes a shaky first step into therapy, opening a door she's long kept shut. What follows is raw, messy, and achingly real. Through painful conversations, unspoken memories, and fragile moments of courage, Mae begins to unravel the truths she's buried about her past, her family, and the harsh voice inside her head. Along the way, she rediscovers the quiet power of old friendships, unexpected connection, and the art that once felt lost to her. Slowly, her story shifts, not toward perfection, but toward presence. Toward staying. Told with tenderness and poetic insight, The Weight of Blue Skies is a portrait of falling apart and finding the strength to rise, piece by piece, into a life that finally feels like home. It is not about being fixed, it is about being real. About surviving. About choosing to stay.
