Across continents, a mental health crisis is unfolding quietly — affecting professionals, students, parents, and even children.

The Silent Witness. Content Warning.
It was just after midnight when the scream shattered the quiet of Maple Street. Anna Keller, perched at her bedroom window like she was every night, froze. The sound hadn’t startled her — not in the same way it might others. She had been living in silence for two years. Since the accident, Anna hadn’t spoken a word. She couldn’t. Her voice had vanished along with the life she used to have.

The Day After.. Content Warning.
I look at my phone. 6 AM. My eyes still sting with tears. It's only been 30 minutes since he left, but it feels like a lifetime. Everything around me looks blurry. I look down at my hands and notice they are still shaking. All I want to do is crawl underneath my covers and never come out. There's only one problem with that, though.

My Best Friend Ana
Let me tell you about my best friend, Ana. I first met Ana when I was 12 years old. Our friendship started off slow, but quickly grew into a connection I will never forget.

She was perfect, and I admired that in her.
