CONTENT WARNING provided by the author.
This story features a candid depiction of mental illness that, although based on my lived experiences, may make some readers uncomfortable. The main character grapples with managing their symptoms, accepting their own and a family member’s illness, some internalized ableism, and some ableism from others. There are references to self-harm and suicide.
Other potentially upsetting content includes:
• Graphic gore and body horror
• Violence, including murder and torture
• Off-page sexual violence, including experiences that involve children
• Abuse, including child abuse and off-page domestic violence
• Mentions of transphobia and racism, including references to slavery and genocide
• Animal death
