So I have PTSD, depression, and anxiety and have created characters embracing these negative parts of myself. I just gave both my anxiety and depression characters PTSD (as well as my intellect). My mental illnesses have developed their own mental illnesses.

...Existential, much.

Sooo...

I know it's been a while. Like...a long while...but I have good news! I'm currently writing a new chapter of a story! This one will continue where Mania's introduction left off (for those curious, please search #mania on this blog. Hopefully it comes up :/ Otherwise, just scroll down a little ways.)

I will be incorporating more into this story than I usually do and touching on some heavier topics. I have been learning more about my own mental health, as well as mental illnesses in general, over the last few months and think talking about it is important. I have been diagnosed with two different mental diseases that have impacted me for years, I just wasn't aware of them at the time. This has also affected how I portray certain characters and has even created new ones like Mania. More will probably be introduced as time goes on.

I will be covering new topics that I have personally dealt with, as well as ones that I continue to battle. Intrusive Thought may play some part, so I will continue to thoroughly tag my works. Curse words may also arise and will be censored. Potential triggers will always be tagged and warnings will be put in place.

Thank you all for your patience and I hope that you enjoy the new installment!

Intrusive Thought/IT:

and Mania (the newest Side, no surprise there!)

Help the anxious baby. She likes to hide and wrap herself in blankets - it’s grounding for her.

Your girl is back on campus and ready to blast this semester out of the water!!

This also means that I can post more stories as I write them, so be ready for that! :D

What I mean: I plan to write more Eric Derickson (I have a tag list for a reason), the next part of my Sides’ story, and quite possibly more JSE egos. Maybe I’ll even take requests when I get more time!

Spoiler-ish but not really: here's Intrusive Thought having a fit because she lost her two "henchmen" and now they're best friends with her worst enemies. Dang, she even cried off her makeup. 😐😐😐 Let her calm down before you approach her
