He taps his foot against the carpeted floor of his therapist's office, wondering if he should say it. If he should even say her name out loud. He hasn't done that in at least a year. He'd never say it; especially not in front of his friends. As the therapist, a middle-aged woman in a grey pantsuit, takes notes on his progress, he clears his throat and decides to speak, "She's coming back from California. Today." She looks up, "Who?" It takes him a while. He has to work up the nerve to say it. "Maddie," he says, picking at his nails. He only mentioned her name once, in his first session last year, but the therapist nods. She was the only good thing he's ever mentioned. "Something bad happened, I think." Cover art by Brigid Vaughn (burdge on deviant art) #freementalillness

Petite and awkward, Terra Quinn is living the life with her best friend in college, or so it seems. Beneath the bubbly exterior is a haunting secret that has been hidden for too long. Things are quickly falling apart, until she meets Zach, a mysteriously stoic transfer student who, strangely, might be the one who can mend what's been broken. When fate brings them together, they are yet to discover the truth: they've met before, but they can't remember. So what will happen if they do? © 2015-2016 imperfectdreamer.

Jax's role as the "mutual friend" was to help Estella get the guy. Falling in love with her was never part of the plan. Estella Gillon lives a simple life that consists of band, friends, her father and her never-ending crush on Brice Abrams. Jax Velasco, on the other hand, is a bucket load of angst, trust issues, fear of intimacy and built-up anger. They are an unlikely pair, but somehow, the two find comfort in each other and become fast friends. Jax also happens to be a part of Brice's posse, and he may just be the key to Estella snatching the boy of her dreams. However, through all the run-ins with each other, the long car rides and the one-on-one moments spent together, the line between just friends and more starts to blur. Loyalties are tested, secrets are exposed, personal demons are faced and conflicts arise when the mutual friend transitions from being the wingman to wanting the girl for himself. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- * Copyright © 2016 October Silver.

It seemed that all Savannah Benson would amount to was a mess. An unstable girl who couldn't erase her past, and let her demons continue to haunt her day after day, night after night. There was too much wrong with her to even consider fixing her. With no hope for change and a life full of never-ending issues, someone suddenly comes along to throw her off her self-loathing, cold-shoulder routine. The possibility of letting them in doesn't seem so hard, which is the one thing she fears the most, except she can't help it. It's the easiest thing that's happened to her in a long time, and that's what makes it so terrifying. This is not a fairy tale where everyone lives happily ever after - this is a story about love, loss, and every struggle in between. It might break your heart, but at least you'll feel something. ⚡️⚡️⚡️ "and when i need the fire, you're always my l i g h t e r" « #freementalillness »

"It's going to be okay." He whispered, "I'll help you get rid of your demons." He kissed the top of my head. "But first, I have to be familiar with them." "What about your own demons?" I asked . "Don't worry, you make them disappear when you're with me." He responded _ There are highs and there are lows and both are equally worth it in the end. This is a story to remind you that you're not alone in your struggles; we're all hurting, we're all healing. [**TRIGGER WARNING** for self harm and suicide]

a slow descent into insanity. i'm going to be honest. i don't entirely know what this is. but if you're up for short "chapters," questionable metaphors and yet another round of personifying mental illnesses into the people who triggered them, come on in 😬
