Hey, y’all! As someone familiar with depression and anxiety firsthand, characters who deal with these issues are my favorite to write and one of which I am most passionate about. To learn more about these topics or to learn ways to seek help, consider checking out the websites of the National Institute of Mental Health, Anxiety and Depression Association of America, or the American Psychological Association.

Both characters also have suicidal thoughts. Please reach out for help if you find yourself having suicidal thoughts. For those in the United States, there’s the Suicide Prevention Hotline. You can also call the hotline at 1-800-273-8255.

Never be afraid to ask for help—for yourself or someone you know who needs help. Every life matters.
