Mentalhealth Stories

FREE STORY WITH EXCLUSIVE CONTENT. This is *not* a Paid Story. Eighteen-year-old hockey prodigy Elliot Wexler has three goals for senior year. One: somehow graduate with a 3.5 GPA. Two: hide his bipolar disorder from his peers. And three: make it into the NHL with no scandals. Piece of cake. What he doesn't expect is to find Lucy, a homeless girl, hiding from the winter frost in his dad's shed. Elliot's busy, complicated life doesn't permit room for error, and falling in love with a girl from a totally different world sounds like the opposite of a good idea. But Elliot can't help but be drawn to Lucy and her elusive ways--even when she seems to vanish from his life non-stop, each time leaving him with a bigger hole in his heart. But Elliot is determined to break down Lucy's barriers. And when he does, he discovers that her life is more complicated--and dangerous--than he could have imagined. With drafting season approaching, and Elliot's fragile mental health deteriorating, he's forced to face a difficult question: Is first love supposed to hurt so much? *** PLEASE DO NOT ADD THIS STORY TO GOODREADS.

When You Forgot Me (Read story info uploaded in part for better understanding) Pond Naravit Lertratkosun has everything money can buy-wealth, status, a powerful family name. Everything except peace. After surviving the accident that stole his parents and shattered his mind, Pond has lived trapped between past and present, feared by strangers and pitied by society. No doctor has ever been able to reach him. No treatment has ever worked. Until Phuwin. Young, patient, and far too gentle for a house full of broken things, Phuwin agrees to take on the case no one else could handle. What begins as duty slowly turns into something far more dangerous when Pond-fragile, affectionate, and starved for warmth-starts to cling to the one person who makes the nightmares stop. Inside the Lertratkosun mansion, hearts soften, jealousy sparks, and wounds long buried begin to surface. But healing has a price, and some recoveries demand more than anyone is ready to lose. With an overprotective older brother, a sunshine brother-in-law, old ghosts, unwanted rivals, and a love that grows in the unlikeliest place, this is a story about trauma, memory, second chances, and loving someone in every version of who they are.

Ravenshore Academy is built on pressure, privilege, and boys who don't know how to be gentle.

Everyone except Josh Mercer. Josh is the swim team's quiet prodigy - disciplined, focused, and determined to stay invisible. But invisibility doesn't work on Damien and his crew. They shove him in hallways, mock him in the cafeteria, and make sure he never forgets his place. He's their favorite target. Their quiet punching bag. Their reminder that power is something you take. But everything shifts when Ravenshore announces a new cross‑training program: the hockey team and swim team will be training together. Eight practices a week. Seven lanes. Three hockey boys per lane. And Josh is assigned the worst possible combination: Damien. Nathan. Nate. His three tormentors. His three shadows. His three problems. Forced into close proximity, Josh becomes the one responsible for teaching them how to survive in the water. The boys who used to laugh at him now have to listen to him, watch him, rely on him. Lines blur. Power shifts. And the boys who once made his life miserable start looking at him differently - too closely, too long, too intensely. Josh doesn't know what's more dangerous: the way they used to treat him... or the way they're starting to now. 20k 2026-05-06 ---

Sincere Brielle White has always been the soft one-gentle voice, pretty smile, big heart. Everyone thinks she has it all together. Nobody knows about the insecurity she hides so deep she can't even say it out loud. She keeps her brightness polished and perfect... scared that if anyone looks too closely, they'll see the cracks underneath. Then there's Terajaie Imani Connell. Silent. Standoffish. Untouchable. The kind of stud who speaks with her eyes more than her mouth, who fights only when she has to, who carries her past like a weight she learned to hide. People fear her before they understand her-but she prefers it that way. Trusting people has never ended well. Until Sincere. A seating change puts them side by side, and Terajaie notices the things everyone else misses-the quiet tremble in Sincere's hands, the way her smile fades when she thinks no one is looking, the exhaustion behind her eyes. And Sincere sees past Terajaie's coldness, past her silence, past her armor... and finds the girl who's been alone for too long. What starts as awkward glances and accidental conversations turns into late-night texts, warm rides home, soft touches, and a connection neither of them were ready for. But loving someone means letting them see the parts you're terrified to show. Sincere's hidden insecurity. Terajaie's guarded heart. Two girls learning what it means to feel safe-really safe-for the first time. Because sometimes love isn't loud. Sometimes it isn't dramatic. Sometimes... it's just warm.

I didn't plan on falling in love with Harry Styles. I planned on surviving. Behind a bar, my life makes sense. Drinks in, drinks out. Keep moving. Don't get too close to anyone who might leave. Harry ruins that system the moment he walks in. He's patient in a way that's dangerous. Gentle in a way that makes it hard to keep my distance. He doesn't try to fix me, doesn't ask me to explain the parts of my life I'd rather keep buried. He just... stays. What starts as late-night conversations and quiet companionship slowly becomes something neither of us expected. Something steady. Something terrifying. Something that might actually be love. And when you've spent your entire life learning how to do everything alone, letting someone stay might be the hardest thing of all. UPDATES 9 AM & 9PM EST DAILY!!!! #1 in harrystyles

But if this black-and-white world has really become Elijah's grim reality, then why is this young, mysterious man capable of adding color and a heartbeat to this dreadfully achromatic still life Eli is trapped in?

Life is like a rollercoaster. It has its ups and downs, but it's your choice whether to scream or enjoy the ride. What happens when life throws you off track completely? Do you scream... or do you hold on tighter? For Ira and Rudraksh, the journey is far from smooth. One is suffocating under the weight of failure, the other carrying the fragments of a shattered heart. Two strangers, caught in life's ugliest turns, where every step forward is a fight against invisible battles. This is not a story of being saved by each other, but of learning to live despite the wreckage, of finding the courage to stand when the ground never stops shaking. However, if their paths ever converge, will they find solace in each other... or will their differences pull them apart? ✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️ This is a character-driven literary fiction set in a contemporary world, where every character breathes fully and every emotion unfolds in its own time. It is the kind of story that feels less like something you read and more like something you live beside, watching the characters grow, falter, heal, and discover themselves at their own pace.

When conditioning turns ugly. Oliver's a Neutral. He'd known that since he was born, since his parents took every single hobby away from him, since he'd been relegated to his room for studying and nothing else. Turns out, that level of isolation causes a lot more problems than you'd expect. Eventually, Oliver, or at least those around him, realizes that while he might not have the Neutral Classification, he's the most Neutral person you'd ever find. And not in a good way. THIS STORY IS NOT BXB

Caleb was lost and had been for as long as he could remember. He tried to walk the path his parents wanted, but he couldn't see it through the darkness. With his brothers away for college everything became worse. The once warm home felt ice cold, the halls devoid of sound and his life devoid of colour. Then he bumped into Lucas. His long time neighbour who he was certain only saw him as his best friends little brother. Until he didn't. Until Lucas inserted himself further into Caleb's life, getting closer to him than anyone had ever been. Too close. Or maybe that's just what Caleb needed, someone to see more than what was on the surface. Maybe the love he sought was right there in front if him, and so was the help he needed. --- *This is a bxb that deals with sensitive themes, religion, and mature subjects. Read with care.

"We can have our differences. We can argue, debate, scream, yell, or cry. However, at least we are talking. If we are talking, we will figure it out. Because I like you, Wicked. I like you so much that I can overcome anything with you. I want to become yours. I want to call you my soul."
