anxiety depression fear lgbtq masks mental-health mental-wellbeing overdose overdosing romance school self-care self-searching soul-searching suicide teenagers trauma

When trauma suddenly rips her feelings away, she finds herself lost-present, but hollow, echoing the girl she used to be. No amount of love or concern can pierce the emptiness inside her, and every smile is only a mask for feelings she no longer knows. Each day, she perfects the art of pretending, wearing borrowed feelings like borrowed clothes. Yet deep within her,' shell, the faintest spark of hope endures: that one day, warmth will return and she will remember how to feel

You And Me, Forevermore by TrishaChakraborty6

"He was the definition of what you call bad, he smoked, he broke the law, he drove too fast for his own good.He didn't care because no one taught him how to. But when it came to her, he wanted to be the best man.He couldn't bare the thought of her being hurt by him...or by anyone else. He would kill to protect her, the girl who cared about someone as worthless as him in all her perfection". "Perfection... that's what she's always been. Not even her scars could steal the hope in her eyes. She waited for someone. And when she met him, she couldn't help what she felt. She fell hard for him. And so did her saviour. The girl who had a little too much heart to go around. She never thought herself of being worthy of his love. And she'd go to hell and back for the one who loved her fiercely".

In Love With Blindfolds On by cjacks1124

I gave the best of myself to someone who didn't have anything to lose. I didn't know how to avoid my lover's toxic and abusive flames. My lover's twisted words were like a maze inside of my head that I couldn't escape. Sadly, my lover's actions hypnotized my thoughts and paralyzed my thinking. I learned the hard way that love isn't leaning in for a kiss, and a fist meets you halfway. Love isn't being a punching bag because someone decided they wanted to beat on you today. Love isn't saying I love you just because someone wants to keep you to themselves. I tried to be there for my lover, but I learned it is impossible to fix the broken pieces when the glass has shattered. There will always be pieces that are not repairable. However, I kept going right back to the person who I needed to walk away from. I was afraid, and I wasn't brave enough to wake up from this nightmare! I made the choice to suffer when life is meant to be lived and enjoyed. Will I find the courage to know my worth and know that I deserve better than the distasteful lies that are whispered in my ears? Will I have the strength to fight my insecurities? Will, I set myself free, or will I let my love be the death of me?

Locked In by MichaelaCilley

You don't believe me anyways. You don't see me throwing away my inhibitions or filling up my online shopping cart. You don't see me diving into new life goals and careers and areas of study. You don't see my cry to myself in the car when my chest sinks in and my head gets crushed in a vice. You don't feel the panic in my stomach whenever I must make human contact. And you sure don't see how hard I try. How I wake up every morning and apply my mask. My work mask- to conceal all of this. But.... It's been the same mask for many years And my mask is wearing thin. My sadness, my anger, my paranoia and grand euphoria are trying to become a part of your world too. A world where it's not welcome. A world where it's not understood, where it's frowned upon.

The Girl Who Cried Wolf. by Hypothe-tical

Who is going to save her when she can't save herself? **************** She's never her own person, never her own best friend, and always her worst enemy. Her happiness has always depended on that addictive beam that lit up people's faces, even when it dimmed hers. But not anymore. Not when she's high on nothing. Not when she's living yet dying. Not when she's a walking, breathing shell. Until she stumbles upon him. But he's not going to save her from her fears. He's her worst nightmare come to life. Who's going to save the girl who allegedly cried wolf? P.S.A on the first page.🔞

The Girl With The Fake Smile (Completed) by TriAngle357

You always think that girl is happy, but she's not. Her smile is fake. Her mind is scary. Her home life... It's terrifying. *warning* problems like sex, self harm, anorexia, abuse, and other horrible subjects.

W h o A r e Y o u? by VirgoScribe

After tragedy fractures their world, a young couple is left navigating the aftermath.... where love is tested by memory, intrusion tension, and the weight of what they endured. The future they planned erodes under the strain of trauma, leaving them clinging to fragments of who they used to be. Healing is expected. Normalcy is demanded. But trauma doesn't follow rules, and love doesn't always know how to save what's breaking. Who Are You is not a story about recovery. It's about what lingers after survival-the unraveling, the distance, and the question that haunts them both: Who are you when everything you were is gone? 🗣️ All rights to author VirgoScribe 🗣️ ***Who Are You? is a contemporary work of fiction exploring love, trauma, and identity in the aftermath of survival.***

It does get better. by Vin_the_frog

People say it will get better. But to be fair, most of them never were in your place. They say you will get happy again, but how can they know? I've struggled with trauma, mental illnesses, and self harm for many years. These are (mostly) poems - about me and my journey of getting better. ! As this is about self harm and other previously mentioned topics, it might be triggering. I don't glorify it in any way, though. I'm also not a native English speaker. If you find any mistakes, please tell me so I can improve.

existential crisis: wellness and health by distressclub

-> for the ones who are hurt, heartbroken, overthinking, overwhelmed, and feel like they're slowly suffocating: -> for the ones who are deeply madly in love, are terribly obsessed, and or in a state of unrequitedness: -> for the ones who are self serving, self loving, and are seeking pleasure all the same... "I hope you find the comfort you are looking for"
