I just about started crying when Dongwoo began stabbing himself with the needle. And then the world salad paragraph after that was just painful to read. Interesting, I must admit, but terribly painful.

;~~~~~~~~~~; I hope you're alright, this whole thing was painful to write in general. I could never imagine having to actually go through that myself, or with a familiy member ;0; but thanks for reading ♥

[yeolbear]

this was absolutely beautiful ;n; especially the whole word salad part and how dongwoo changes, it was amazing. and i'm suddenly reminded of this horror story i read yesterday where the male had schizophrenia and it was freaking scary ;n; ♥

Creys I'm so glad you think so because I don't think a lot of people would be able to sit through this as it really doesn't read smoothly; it's all over the place and disjointed and kind of painful to read D: guhh

Oh gosh I remember reading a story where the main character was insane a few years ago and it was so scarring ;~~~~~;

This was scary. But well written I guess. I liked how you used different sized font in the middle to show....his downward spiral. Poor Dongwoo. :(

[halcyondusk]

Hence the warnings ;~~; I wasn't quite sure how high it needed to be rated but I put a R just in case haha.

Yeah, I wasn't quite sure how to represent different levels of sounds from whispering to shouting (because those are essentially the voices you'd head in your head) using fonts, and decided that was the best way :) thanks for reading~

these illnesses are crazy and i think you managed a good effort because we don't really get much on hand knowledge about the mental struggle thats going on with these people. but i enjoyed your take on it loads

[halcyondusk]

Yeah, these illnesses are really devastating and I don't think that we get much information on it at all. Thanks for reading, I'm glad you enjoyed my take on it :)

oh my god i am so mind boggled now everything is just teeming over.

This is a really interesting concept and I really enjoyed the crafting of it, it was definitely something different.

It just kind of hurts to read this like idk I FEEL DONGWOO ;_____;

Also hi jo jie.

[halcyondusk]

/Pets you there there no more mind boggle ;~~~; I was thinking with this prompt 'why not try to get into someone's head?' and I thought of schizophrenia and tadah D: it feels like I understand it a bit better now ;~~~~~; Dongwooooooo

JIE LMAO I AM NOT THAAAT MUCH OLDER? But it's okay it sounds cute I give you permission to call me that :3
