PLEASE
READ!
this book addresses mental health issues which is a very important subject to me. i feel mental illnesses aren't taken seriously by some people. i want to make them known and change people's perspective on what some humans have to face daily. the struggles people mentally face and society bringing people down for things they can't control.
I relate to the main character elle so much. I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder when I was 13. although my condition is mild, the cases of mental health in this book are not. getting the right treatment and helping yourself can make a huge difference. i don't know how i would have gotten through the first few months of my diagnosis without my therapist/psychologist, who i hated at first, but is now one of my fave people.
some people, including elle, don't get the treatment they need straight away which worsens the illness. it makes everything seem so bad that it's not ever going to get better. i want my, and other people's, mental state to get noticed. please take your knowledge from this book and use it in real life. if you see someone you feel might not being having the best day, if you see someone looking a little down, give them a smile, or a wave, or a 'hey babe' because to me, that would make my mood turn around. it would make me feel happier. i wish i could have acted upon this in the past.
mental health is hard. but it's even harder when you have to go through it alone. when you have nobody to turn to. if anyone, anyone at all, ever needs someone to talk to, someone to rant to, then please go straight to my DM's on instagram or email me at [email protected] . Tell me how you feel, because believe me, i will understand. nobody deserves to go through anything alone. talk to me.
THIS BOOK CONTAINS THE SUBJECTS OF SELF-HARM, SUICIDE, MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES, SEVERE DEPRESSION, SEXUAL SCENES AND VERY MATURE CONTENT. SOME OF THIS WILL TRIGGER OR UPSET SOME READERS SO PLEASE DON'T READ IF YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO HANDLE IT.
