“Oh please! You guys say that you want to move into this new house because it looks great. The real reason is because the commute to my therapist is much faster. I’m fine mom and dad! I don’t need antidepressants nor do I need a therapist. Maybe the real reason why I have been depressed all these years is because you have no interest towards my life. Ever since you thought I starting having problems, you look at me like I am a deformed stranger!”
As Haley was screaming towards the mirror of her bedroom wall practicing her lines for the school play, she starts relating the life of the character to her life. She feels like someone wrote a biography of her life.
“Honey! It’s time to take your pills!” Lucia, Haley’s mother, screaming at Haley.

You know I don’t like listening to your nonsense. Fine, you won’t go to therapy but i’m not giving you attention and helping you with your problems. Hey, you wanna hear my fun fact of today? YOU WERE A MISTAKE! You know what your friends said on Facebook? That you are just a stereotypical black girl with no daddy and a nobody poor girl. When your therapist told me the story of the basement door, I laughed cause I know you always want attention.”
I slapped my mother and started punching her face. The blood ricocheted and I felt the blood in my mouth. I tasted it and smiled. My mother was laughing and somehow got my arms. After that, I don’t know what happened but I was in my room with the light from my lamp turned on.
“I punched my mother.”
I was crying. I couldn’t stop. Why would I do all these crazy actions and think of all of this? Then an idea popped into my head. I realized that the door in the basement showed me being bullied because of what I look like and how it made me felt. This eventually came true. I was whispering to myself saying “ It was the door that caused all this madness. I was never a psychopath neither was my mom so selfish. Everyone changed and I too changed. I do remember checking that door after the first time. There was nothing there. There is no way to stop
There, Callie met a group of girls who also struggled with their own harsh problems. The problems went from anorexia to drug abuse. The girls were each dealing with their inner problems which could have killed them.
There it was, the creaky staircase of the abandoned Delta Mental Asylum. I have no idea why I thought this was a good idea. I’m getting chills and it’s the middle of summer. At least I’m not alone my sister, Aubrey, is with me. We were just about to go up the stairs when I thought I heard giggles, but Aubrey said I was just being paranoid.
I was sitting in the tattoo parlor with my head resting on the black leather chair staring at my mom from the corner of my eye. I could not tell if she wanted to curse everyone in the room or cry, I came to the conclusion that it was it was probably both. In my mom’s words, I was getting a hole drilled into my nose. In my words, it was a nose piercing. This was the biggest fight I’ve ever had with my mom.
“Yes, of course,” she replied. She rushed inside her home and came back holding a phone. She dialed 911 and she started talking I couldn’t hear what she was saying. She came back to the door, “The police should be here soon to take you,” she said.
When I saw the flash of my mom 's headlights my body shook with fear and I held in a sob. My mom opened the front door and I ran to her, clinging to her like I did when I was a child. I felt the warmth of her skin against mine and listened for a moment to her heartbeat. “Can we talk about something?” I asked, letting go of my mom.
After I finished setting up my room I went outside for some fresh air. I walked around my neighborhood and before I knew it I was back at my house. I walked up and tried to open the door, but it wouldn’t budge. I was frantically opening the door as if there was a murderer with a knife behind me. I stopped and realized that I had made the biggest mistake in my life.
Like any sensible person she didn't believe me. That morning I was ordered to be put in a straight jacket, in a large cushion room, and be hand fed every 3 hours. I felt like a prisoner or even worse an animal. Finally by the end of the night I was able to enter my room again to sleep. It happened again, I awoke to not scratching, not the thing breathing over my bed, but the door left open with Janison keys in the lock.
Then, all too quickly, BAM! I was sprawled flat on my face, my hands and feet laid out, just hard ground beneath my stunned body, my hand sliced on a shard of broken bottle. I screamed bloody murder all the way to the emergency room. My mom tried to comfort me to no avail; I was a blubbering, hysterical mess. The nurses lifted me onto the bed and tried to calm me
I cried. My mother slapped me. " Who ask you be genius?" she shouted.
Her mother had been fighting against depression ever since the death of Hazel’s baby brother. Paul died at the age of 1, he was ran over by a reckless teenager. Ever since then her mother has never been the same, it always seemed like Hazel was never enough to fill that emptiness. Hazel regrets telling her mom some of the things she said that night. The conversation still goes through her mind.
My mind could be free, my actions untraced, I was immune! But suddenly I heard a scream, a crash and I looked behind me. I saw a lady wearing a white apron. She was young and seemed to be the houses housekeep. Her hands were
“I can’t do this anymore.” my mother said to my stepfather in the next room, sadness filled her voice. “Yeah, and it’s all my fault! I’m just an ass aren’t I?” he shouted.
I picked Mitchell's mom Laura as my first stop. As I walk up to the door I get a sharp feeling in my heart and I fall over. The next thing I know i’m in my house in my bed. I get up and decide to go back to her house. This time when I get there I feel really queasy, but I continue on and knock on the door.
I too would rather have individual therapy verses family therapy. The thought of having to be in the same room with my entire family discussing such sensitive issues causes me huge anxiety. It 's ironic in the fact that I have been the staff in a locked area as a 1:1 with a 6"4", 300lb, psychotic and delusional man while keeping my composure, but I 'm more afraid of a group session with my family. I think what I feel is what many people feel when they think about family therapy. We picture ourselves being locked in a room with people we love to have to face every day and having a huge fighting match.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! The thundering sound of my dads fist banging on my bedroom door. I'm cuddled up in my blanket hoping it will protect me from the sound, from the pain, and my dad.
