Mentalillness Stories

WATTPAD BOOKS EDITION Everest is the most popular boy in school. He's handsome, wealthy, and captain of the football team-he has the world at his fingertips, but he's desperately unhappy. And when those feelings become too much to bear, he tries to take his own life. On the surface, Beverly's different from Everest in every possible way. She's quiet, shy, hard working, and keeps to herself on campus, focusing on her schoolwork and her part-time job, distracting herself from her less-than-perfect upbringing. When Everest returns to school after his attempt, he's in more pain than ever. Discarded by his friends, he draws little empathy and too much attention from those who surround him. But when Beverly and Everest meet unexpectedly in a dusty corner of the old library, they discover together just how rich life can be when given the freedom to just be yourself.

As things at home get worse, the jokes turn into questions. Then, after fleeing one of his father's worst episodes and wrecking his car, Kiegen has no one he can safely call. Except the stranger who was never supposed to answer. Still there? Where else would I be? I need help.

The Boy Who Learned to Disappear Nobody noticed when he started disappearing. At first, it was small things, the messages he stopped answering, the places he stopped going, the conversations he learned to survive without being part of. He was still there. Still smiling. Still saying, "I'm fine." But somewhere between becoming the person everyone needed and losing the person he used to be, he discovered that disappearing could be easier than explaining. This is the story of a boy who learned to make himself smaller whenever life became too loud. A boy who carried things he couldn't name, swallowed words he couldn't say, and slowly convinced himself that being unseen was safer than being known. But you cannot disappear forever. And eventually, he has to face the one person he has spent years running from: himself. The Boy Who Learned to Disappear is a story about loneliness, silence, identity, and the quiet ways a person can fall apart while looking completely fine from the outside.

Axel Opal has lived inside white walls for as long as he can remember. White sheets. White lights. White silence. Diagnosed young and locked away in Holbrooke Asylum, Axel exists in a world where time doesn't move and voices don't linger. The doctors call him unstable. The nurses call him dangerous. Axel calls it survival. Then she arrives. Lark Abalone is different from the others. She doesn't wear white. She doesn't look at him like he's broken. She speaks to him like he's still human. She listens. She stays. And slowly, impossibly, Axel begins to feel something he thought the asylum had erased forever: hope. But hope is dangerous in a place built to erase reality. Because no one else seems to notice her. The staff never say her name. The cameras never acknowledge her presence. And the more Axel begins to heal, the more the world around him begins to fracture. Doors unlock when they shouldn't. Walls flicker. Dreams feel more real than waking. And one terrifying question begins to haunt him: Is Lark saving him- Or is she the final thing his mind created to survive losing everything else? In a place where reality is fragile and loneliness rewrites the truth, Axel must confront the thin line between love and illusion-and decide what it truly means to wake up.

When Aponi is forced into a treatment facility for her eating disorder, falling in love is the last thing on her mind, until she meets Finn. ***** Aponi Hall had other plans for the final days of summer. She wanted to get her life together, earn a bit more money at the water park where she worked, and spend time with her boyfriend of four years. Those plans are shattered when Aponi's mom gives her an ultimatum: get help for her eating disorder or move out. Against all of her instincts, Aponi agrees to join the in-patient ranks at Horizons, a residential treatment center in Old Forge, New York. There, Aponi meets a group of women who will touch her life and forever change the direction of it. The most notable among them is Finn Sullivan, Aponi's new roommate. Finn, an unfiltered and unapologetic artist from Brooklyn, has some serious issues. At just 23 years old, Finn knows what it means to come from a broken home, deal with a hereditary heart condition, and endure a volatile relationship with food. One more problem gets added to the pile when Finn finds herself falling for Aponi (who Finn believes to be straight) while they navigate through recovery together. But both girls are changing in monumental ways. After Aponi experiences a romantic awakening and reciprocates feelings for Finn, it seems nothing should stand in the way of their love. Well, nothing except for Aponi's long-term boyfriend Tokala, who plans to marry her and preserve their indigenous heritage. And maybe Finn's vengeful, lovesick ex-girlfriend, who is also a patient at Horizons. As a series of external forces intervene on their budding relationship, Aponi and Finn soon find that recovery may be the easy part.

APOLLINAIRE is the grandson of the oldest witch in the South. He's the first boy born in her line for three hundred years, and she guards him jealously, teaching him all the magic she knows before anyone else can corrupt him. Between his bloodline and his talent, there's a lot riding on his shoulders, all before he's twelve years old. And then his father sues for custody in the divorce. PAUL ST. ROSE is an emergency medic. At 21, it's not the end of his career path-or his schooling-but it's a good place to land and catch his breath. He's always done well in high-stress environments, managing to keep his cool even when the world is falling apart around him. But when his grandmother dies, he's pulled back into the life he used to lead: back into Old Mère's rickety trailer with the black soil garden out front; back into the social rough-and-tumble of his mother's side of the family, rife with petty backstabbing; back into who he used to be. Between the cold success of Paul and the honeysuckle-sweet occultism of Apollinaire, he crumbles under the weight of everything that he was supposed to be by now. He's always done well in high-stress environments. But what can he do when he's the one falling to pieces?

'I did not ask for the things Ive been through, and I certainly did not ask my mind to paint and repaint the pictures in flashback form.'- Michelle Groth "I'm a monster.." the cadence in the witches voice trembles.

"Is it so wrong to want to help you?" He asks. Frustration wells within her. "I don't need help! I just want the pain to end." Newts face hardens of concern.

He wonders if he could have done things differently to prevent this. #1 fbawtft rating from 3/19 - 7/19 #1 newtxoc rating I do not own the rights to Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them or the Harry Potter series. *I do not claim a diagnosis of PTSD, have done extensive research of the illness.
