Notes

Author's note: 'It’s important to note that the themes of mental illness in this story are based on personal experience. Even among people with the same illness the experience is unique to the individual, so we don’t presume to depict a universal experience. But we do hope that Lena’s journey will be partially relatable to any reader.'
