𝐀𝐌𝐘

Just watched season 1 episodes 11 - 13 of the Pitt. 
          Wow. Just, wow. 
          So good. Heartbreaking, but good. 

Just realized I don’t have to follow the actual one Chicago timeline and can just do whatever I want lol. 

No, Langdon, whyyyy? 
          I hate it here 

Watched the first two episodes of “The Pitt” today. 
          So good. 

Second chapter almost done. 
          I’m definitely scheduling my writing and homework better. 

Domestic Amy x Jay? 

I’m gonna finish writing season 2 before I start publishing. 
          It’s less stressful and that way I can publish one chapter each week, while planning the next season. It’s just better. 
          Also, I’ll have more time to do homework. 

I have a feeling season 2 is gonna be interesting 

Also a reminder that veterans deserve better, especially in the U.S.  

AMY’S MENTAL HEALTH STRUGGLES 
          A lot of people were taken aback by the last chapter, maybe I didn’t do a good job at highlighting her struggles, but I want people to understand where it came from. 
          
          Here are some highlights from the book that shows her mental health struggles or hint at it; 
          — Her parents were murdered by her aunt, who she investigated and arrested, who died in prison 
          — She is a veteran. Enough said 
          — She spends most of season 1 investigating a murder where the person had their throat cut— like her— but also that murder is later tied to her family
          — She has trust issues, doesn’t like open spaces and is very closed off 
          — The scene with her in the bathroom after Antonio is shot 
          — The scene in the bathroom where she touches her scar and remembers the traumatic time after returning from the rangers. 
          — She doesn’t like hospital and doesn’t go for medical treatment, which means also she doesn’t talk to medical professionals in general, including therapist. 
          — That means she never talked to anyone about losing her parents to murder or her time in the rangers
          — The bet would bring attention to the scar, have more people talk about it, reminding her each time.
          
          Those are just the first things that come to mind. I hope knowing this, you can read the story again and maybe have a better understanding. Also, keep in mind PTSD looks different on everyone. It doesn’t affect people the same.
          
          The one mistake I did was word it as a “break down,” even though I did use the quotation marks. It wasn’t technically a break down. Not entirely sure how to categorize it, tbh.
