Chapter 6
I sit on my Aunt Martha's couch, knees drawn to my chest.
Aunt Martha sits next to me.
"Oh, honey," she says, rubbing my back.
She pulls something out of her purse and shows it to me. It's a notebook.
I take it. "Go away. I'm cursed."
Aunt Martha sighs and hugs me. "Sweetheart, I know you're grieving. Losing people is hard, I know. But you're not cursed. Your mom got sick, your friend was sad, and your father was protecting you."
"No. P... Read Full Chapter

Chapter 5
I sit in front of the fire, browsing Amazon on my laptop to take my mind off things. Mom snores on the couch. The doctor told us she shouldn't take stairs for a while.
I sigh and close my laptop, instead pulling the blanket around me and squeezing my eyes shut. A few tears leak out. Nobody is safe around me. I'm cursed. I stand up and quietly slip out the back door; I shouldn't even be around my own mother.

Chapter 4
I grab Dad's hand as we walk down the sidewalk. He sighs. "Callista, why are you squeezing my hand?"
"I need to keep you safe," I mutter.
Dad stops walking and turns to me. "Oh, sweetheart. I'm okay. Amber died because she suffered from depression, and Mom is sick because she didn't make good food choices. You don't have to worry about me."
I groan. "But, Dad-"
I'm cut off by screams. Someone is running toward us. "Go! Go! He has a gun!" they're screami... Read Full Chapter

I'm going to write a story about what it's like to have different mental disorders (anxiety, depression, OCD, etc) and each chapter is going to be someone who has that disorder telling about what it's like.
IF YOU HAVE:
-depression
-OCD (Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder)
-bipolar disorder
-autism
-PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder See More
-schizophrenia
-social anxiety (NOT general anxiety)
-SPD (Sensory Processing Disorder)
And are willing to participate in this, please PM me answers to these questions:
1. What mental disorder do you have?
2. In 1-2 sentences, what is this disorder?
3. In at least a few sentences, what is it like to have this mental disorder?
4. What are some things that people should NOT say/do to you? What are some things that are good/okay to say/do to you?
5. What are some things that you think people should know about this disorder? Are there any common misconceptions you want to set straight?
EXAMPLE (I'm doing general anxiety, but don't write yours about general anxiety because I'm already doing that chapter) :
1. General anxiety
2. It's means that a person gets worried about small things and has irrational fears. They might also dislike social situations.
3. It feels like there's this voice in my head that makes me worry about everything. Even when I know there's nothing to be scared of, it convinces me that I should be terrified. Some days, I just want to be alone at home, and I have a panic attack when I must leave the house. I also extremely dislike changes made to plans, even if the plans are a couple weeks away.
4. DON'T tell me "don't worry." DON'T tell me that my fears are irrational. DON'T tell me that there's "nothing to worry about." DON'T force me to enter a situation that I am anxious about (unless it cannot be avoided). DON'T disregard my panic attacks as "tantrums." DO sit with me/hug me when I'm having a panic attack. DO let me be alone if I ask.
5. People should know that I can't just "calm down" and "stop worrying." People should also know that I KNOW this bad thing probably won't happen, but I'm thinking, "What if it will?" and I'm certain that it will.

Asperger's is quite similar to autism, so I could do a chapter about it if you wanted me to. But it's also different from it in some ways, so if you don't want me to then that's fine. ☺

And A Quiet Kind Of Thunder sounds really good; I'm excited for it too. :)
So, yeah. That's some of my favourite books. I would recommend The Manifesto On How To Be Interesting, because that's my absolute favourite book, but it's quite mature in parts so I'm not sure if you should read it.
