My family thinks I am faking my mental disorders.
I often feel alone. There is an overwhelming distance between them and me, especially my parents. I feel like they don’t understand me. They don’t understand who I am, what I want in life, or what my struggles are.

Original nightmares: The birth of dread
The first time I’ve ever felt real fear, I was on the ground looking up at military helicopters flying above. The sounds it made were unlike anything I’ve heard before. The vibrations felt chilling, I could feel it all over my body. At the time it was like the whole world was against me. It felt lonely, cold and dark. You couldn’t have told me that I wasn’t stuck in a cemented room with barely any light. The only light was from the small hole drilled above me. I felt trapped, with nowhere to go.
