Again, you capture the differences between illnesses in a spot-on, candid way. Honestly, if this were a novel, I would have devoured the entire thing by now. I can't wait for the next chapter!May 5th, 2016 at 01:05am

@ lungsmoke
thank you so much for this feed back, I'll definitely go through everything again to try and pick out any grammatical errors!
With Chapter 4, it's a dream sequence, so it's a dream (or whatever) going on inside her head after she's been medicated and in hospital. That's why I've written it in a more dramatic style and made it more surreal than the rest.
I'm super thrilled that you enjoyed and and it will be updated as of right now actually as I have the chapters on hand. Hope you keep reading and enjoy the rest of the story!
Happy writing!May 2nd, 2016 at 08:28pm -
I think this is such an interesting concept!! I don't think I would ever have thought of this, and it really drew me in. Actually, I thought the title was great, too, as it made me click on teh story. I don't know if you're looking for crit, so I'm really sorry beforehand if this is unwanted, but there were some grammatical errors which I thought disrupted the flow of the words a bit whilst I was reading. The other thing is, although it's probably just me because my eyes are kind of fucked, but the colours of the layout made it a bit difficult to read. Nevertheless, on to the good bits:
CH1 — I love "unconventional" chapters, and so the fact that you included an article in your first chapter was a definite bonus for me.
CH2 — The last sentence! You know in tv shows / movies where the person's soul departs their body? I really got that visualisation, but reversed, from the last sentence. There's also something that gives me a really restless vibe from this chapter, and I like how short and sweet it is.
CH3 — I like the relationship between Harper and her mum. I saw a bit of how close they were in the first chapter, but I feel like I'm being told that they're more distant in this one. LOL @ "the f-bomb" though! I like how I get to know the characters a bit more before I also get to see how you've decided to turn depression into a physical illness.
CH4 — This is really interesting! Tbh Harper seems a bit dramatic, but then I suppose if I was in her shoes, I'd be the same way. I can't really tell what's happening, but I'm guessing it's what's happening in her head after the seizure she had in chapter three?
Anyway, recc'd and subbed!May 2nd, 2016 at 05:39pm -
This is beautifully, and articulately written. It's interesting, and almost relieving, to read someone put into words how I feel on the inside, into a physical manifestation. I definitely can't wait to read more!May 1st, 2016 at 09:32am
Thank you so much! Will be updating soon (tonight probably).
