Why do you have to make me cry before I leave for work. jfc, Laura.
You know I think your writing is amazing, always. But this hit really close to home and that's because it felt really honest. Brutally honest. It wasn't sugar-coated, it wasn't perfect and shiny and fluffy. It was rough and real and heartbreaking. The focus on the sink was beautiful, from beginning to end. Because it's all Kris could focus on, it's all we could focus on. Great job, bb. *sniffle*
Um, whoa. This makes me want to grab someone (you) and yell What's wrong with him?? Kris is very vividly painted here, and that in turn makes me empathize with Adam, because hello, this is freaky, and I feel terrible for Kris going through this and Adam trying to cope with it.
The symptoms seem familiar, but I can't place the mental illness in question. What is it?
And finally, you aren't just gonna leave it there, are you??
i had some sort of a bipolar disorder in mind (as in, this would be kris experiencing a manic stage). i don't know much about it so it's kind of a rough depiction
thank you though! and idk. maybe i'll write something longer based on this :D
i did a project on depression, which of course got a little bit into bipolarity, and that's certainly accurate enough in this fic
if you ever want to expand and it get a little more technical, i found a section about atypical depression in my notes--which can be bipolar or unipolar, but bipolar in this circumstance. the biggest thing that's catching my eye is my note about an intense fear of rejection that comes along with this certain type of depression. there's also stuff about binging, excessive sleep (wouldn't necessarily occur in bipolarity), and mood reactivity--that is, the person could usually be cheered up temporarily in response to positive events, which seems normal lol but is actually only a characteristic of atypical depression.
