All Comments on 'Despair & Desire Ch. 01'

@LiterKnight Your comment was also a bit ago. Two years as of this writing, but when they discharged me from the hospital I was at the county psych facility from 11 PM until 8 AM the next morning, when they released me. Not everywhere is the same, and most of these places just don't give a damn.

@Maxillina obviously you posted your comment a long time ago and I hope you’re more educated now than you were then; but if not, let me tell you (as someone who has recently attempted suicide and more recently gotten out of the hospital) that one of the most realistic parts of this story is Miranda’s thought process. The least realistic part comes in next chapter, where (slight spoiler) she gets discharged from the hospital only a couple days after a suicide attempt. I didn’t manage to physically harm myself, only sedate myself, but I was in an inpatient psych unit for a week. Depression is horrible.

I like where this is going but Miranda is too hard on herself. One or two self-disgust thoughts/comments are okay considering her depression but every other minute is just annoying.

This is so good and sad all at the same time, but also hopleful too. Great beginning!

This is very different but of course it sparked my interest because of my profession.. can't wait to read more

Depression is a nasty illness that makes no sense when it strikes.

Ha I feel that way everytime I look in the mirror wondering where the shapely teen went. Love the start hope you keep it up and finish it.

can't wait to see what happen to Miranda and Leland.

Don't take too long to put the next chapter up

I am a big shifter fan. great read. once you put a chapter of a story here, can you get the whole story published later? love the plot. very unique.

i love this story. its beautiful. yours is very unique compared to the other things i have read. i hope you keep on writing more. this is a beautiful story and i would love for it to not end

who hasnt felt like this? please more soon its going great!

I have a feeling this is going to be a very good tale! I look forward to the next episode...!

you hooked me from the beginning. keep it up

this story had my intrest the moment i started reading it please continue with the good work.

Except for a small slip in the names (Melinda) I am enjoying this story. I hope that you will be posting the next chapters real soon.

Very nicely started. Hope things keepp going as well...

I was pulled in from the first words that you wrote. It spoke a tiny tone to my heart as i once went thru the same thing as Miranda. It is as if you wrote about my pain.I still wait for my dream love. I will be reading to find out what happens next to the couple.

This story grabbed your attention from the first paragraph.Fresh perspective on a werewolf story,well done.Will definitely be reading more of future chapters.

It was a wonderful beginning and I can't wait for more.

It's scary how much I identify with Miranda, though. I don't normally find introspection here, just escapism. Thanks for that

Pelare was meant to be please! ;)

More pelare! :)

Great start but make sure to edit your work. You called her Melinda more than once. Other than that slip, great job!

Great beginning. Looking forward to the next chapter.

I am officially addicted to your story.

Please give us more.

please write more of this story, i already love it!

Yes, I admit the meeting a mate in a psych ward made me laugh but also intrigued. I love it so far. Bravo!

Good start and well developed for your first chapter.

Beautiful; moving writing. Thank you for sharing! Looking forward to seeing your characters unfold.

It was interesting choice on how to have them meet. Looking forward to see how he wins her over. Great Job!

Somehow the idea of a depressed werewolf just made me collapse in laughter! Sorry,i am sure that was not your intent!! Btw, well written!!!

we are so hard on ourselves, so I can't wait to see how Leland reaches her!
