Content Warnings
Moderate: Bullying, Gaslighting, Infertility, Toxic friendship, Toxic relationship, and Classism
Minor: Forced institutionalization, Grief, Homophobia, Infidelity, Medical content, Medical trauma, and Sexual content
The type of forced institutionalization is not what one would consider typical but it's difficult to explain what that content warning means without spoiling the whole thing so just tread cautiously.
