Suicide. Suicidal. Hospital-... Hospitality? No, surely not.
I tried to end my life. I tried very hard, but failed. And here I am. Is this purgatory?
A Sense Of Disparity is about 18 year old Louise, suffering from depression and anxiety disorder. After a suicide attempt, she ends up in a psychiatric ward with several other young patients.
This story is roughly based on my own experience, but all the names and locations have been changed. I'm not keeping exactly to my own story since it is very personal. This is not a dramatisation. Trigger warnings for suicide, mental illness and other delightful topics...

The main character is based on me and my current mental state. I came up with the idea for this story while I was in a psych ward, I hope it can entertain you while also making you feel things.
