Not even that they've been texting. - [includes all characters. general tw: disfunctional family, mental illness, drug use and rebellious behavior. Specific tws will be before each chapter if it's used heavily or it's not apart of this list, which isn't often] Open to constructive criticism and opinions!!

"Maybe if I died flying I wouldn't feel like my entire life has been spent falling into oblivion." . . . . . "So what, are we both worth it now, or are neither of us worth it?" "I don't know. But maybe we should stay a while and find out."

This is what it's like to die. Not in like a sad or cutesy fault in our stars kind of deal- like I'm suicidal. I don't know but as I write this out I slowly allow you into my sad, twisted head where I show you the ins and outs of my psychotic state.

❝ i have found as much beauty in the Dark . . . as i have found horrors in the Light. ❞ ▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃ In which a broken young girl is forced to confront her inner demons after finding herself lost in a forest with nothing but a mysterious, bodiless voice for company. ▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃ AUTHOR'S NOTE !!! i wrote this story back in 2017 and am thoroughly embarrassed by the mere thought of it it's completely corny im sorry

A family adopts a dog. And, just like everyone predicted, it brings them bad luck.

A collection of poems about different mental health problems

I wrote this essay in support of mental illness awareness. Stand up in support and speak out against stigma.

This story follows along my character, Atticus and shows his story as his family is slowly torn by an outside force. In order to not live in constant fear, he is given a second chance at life, but is it truly worth it? *Note that this story contains, blood, gore and fantasy violence* ---- All characters, artwork, and writing is my own unless stated otherwise, and you are not authorized to use it in any way without my given permission- thank you!

Everyone is a Survivor is what I hope will become my story of dealing with mental illness. The first "part" is the rant that I thought up about why there is so much stigma and secrecy revolving around mental illness. This is a work in progress, so hopefully as time goes by this will become an inspiration for others to speak out about their mental illness. Always remember, you are not alone and you can always feel free to talk to me if you need someone to vent to. :)

It's high time people understand what a person with depression and anxiety goes through.

My aim with this book is to try to find an understanding to the struggles Christians face with social stigmas. In particular, those "set aside" because of mental illness and the people's fear of it. If you have a love for Christ and understand His commands for compassion to the needy, then this book will be for you too. When the nine disciples could not heal a young boy with epilepsy and a mental illness, Jesus' sorrow lead to compassion and healing: And when they had come to the multitude, a man came to Him, kneeling down to Him and saying, "Lord, have mercy on my son, for he is an epileptic and suffers severely; for he often falls into the fire and into the water." (Matt. 17:14,15) As a sufferer myself of neurological and psychological illnesses, I have some credibility in stating facts from personal research and experiences with these obstructions in my life. Also, with the success from healing in the last several months. I have thrown in much bible-based knowledge, and that is with the help of my Bachelor's or Arts in Biblical Studies from Southern California Seminary. DESPITE THESE CREDENTIALS, THE CHURCH STILL DOESN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH LUNATICS LIKE ME!

A Journey to Healing

An autobiography that shows the reality of living with anxiety and depression.

It's no story, just glimpses of our darkness. Each from a different corner of that hidden realm. It's not about what is visible, it's about what we are blinded to. It's all around us. #1 Break Aug. 2018 #1 Glimpses Oct. 2018 # 39 Shatter Nov. 2018
