I found a YouTube channel that has gotten me thinking about mental health treatment, and specifically the history of asylums. I posted a couple of days ago regarding a nice word about a published horror asylum piece. Another asylum piece long in development, even longer than the aforementioned, is coming back to mind for me. I hope in writing these as a mentally ill person myself, I am revealing compassion, though I do not hold back on the sometimes unlikability of characters. #writingcommunity

Here's the fiction flash fiction asylum horror I originally published a few years ago with The Chamber Magazine. The editor snapped it up the same day as the submission, a rare experience for me. That being said, I've received feedback that it is traumatic to read. So idk. And I don't mean it to otherize or stigmatize, but actually just the opposite--to humanize. I write as a #bipolar person well aware of how horrible and frustrating mental illness is. #darkfiction
