Depressed MC's || Stories that hit a little too close to home

I love a good happy romance and all, but let's be honest.. reality is we're all mentally ill. Sometimes a gal just wants to sit back and imagine she really can be loved despite her fucky brain chemistry, ya know? :DD

(Currently on a mission to compile any of the depressing stories that resonate with me, cuz a bitch be frustrated. Will summarise the basic plot and give my opinions/ratings - it'll be heavily biased toward what resonates with me personally though!)

Young MC (literally 14 years old) has always looked more mature for her age than most girls. Follows her life and the reactions of others.

Status: COMPLETE

Notes:
- Trigger Warning: themes such as sexual abuse, implied non-consensual incest, slut-shaming, victim-blaming, bullying, men being simply the worst.
- If you hate men already, prepare to hate them more.
- Beautifully written ode to the sheer frustration women feel.
- You might cry.

Personal Rating: 10/10 (incredibly worth reading)

MC is struggling to deal with the death of her younger sister, as well as the conflicting emotions surrounding her late sister's arranged fiancé.

Status: COMPLETE

Notes:
- Short read, pretty well written.
- Resonates heavily for those with sisters, especially if you're mentally ill and co-dependent on each other :))
- Both families have hella issues, so if you got that sweet sweet family trauma then this'll resonate.

Personal Rating: Solid 8.5/10
