As many of you know, I have many struggles regarding mental illness that I am public about. When I am struggling, as I was severely last week, I kept it in. I kept it inside. I told a very select number of people of my internal pain. I didn't want judgement. I didn't want people thinking I was just "looking for attention".
And now I'm not sure if it's better to be private about struggles and suffer more personally or to open myself up to support and the potential for more judgement and pain.
It's an ongoing question, and a lasting struggle.

Room (Selection) from "Call me Crazy"
This is one of my favorite sections only because I think it does a really nice job of establishing the setting and characters. It's a pretty solid section.
Warning: it's very dark and could be very triggering. Includes mentions of medication problems and self harm.
Background: The story takes place seven months after Prudence (20) (the older sister) has been sent off to a hospital/recovery center. Cecilia (15) (the protagonist) decides to run away and try to "save" her sister. This scene is towards the beginning, when Prudence has been gone for seven months and Cecilia is stuck holding onto the memory of her sister.
