Part 1

This story is based on a pain that doesn't wear a name - fear, trauma, anxiety, the ache of being unheard.
It's not fiction for many. It's real.
Mental health isn't always visible. Sometimes, it's a girl who laughs with her friends but hasn't slept in nights.
Sometimes, it's someone who keeps going - not because they're strong, but because they have no other choice.
If you see yourself in these pages, I hope you know this:
You matter. Your pain is real. Your healing is possible.
And no matter how deep the night feels, morning always comes.

This is not just her story - it belongs to so many.
