Great start ... I want to know so much more.

Very interesting beginning. I liked that she did open the door and speak to him. Albeit brief, it is a huge step, from what I can tell so far. Intrigued.

OMG! I love it. I know it's sad but this really hits close to home for people with mental illness. Some don't understand and they judge but fuck for some it's just so hard to move pass it. Thank you for writing this and I can't wait for the next one!

Great first chapter! Can’t wait to read more :)

Poor Bella! Also I love you for tackling this subject!Can’t wait for more.

Great start and (((HUGS))) to you. :)

I'm already hooked!

This will be interesting to see the other side of this. My mother-in-law wouldn’t leave the house for months at a time and would only leave with my father-in-law, no one else

Oh, I can tell this will be very good. Thank you for writing a story which includes a character dealing with mental illness. A damaged Bella is actually less of a fanfic stereotype and therefore more interesting than a damaged Edward, so there’s that, but the subject needs more light shone on it, too. I always love your beautifully-written takes on human nature and experience. :)

Poor girl. Social anxiety? Agoraphobia? or Both?

Loving it already!

I really needed a story like this at the moment, my own mental state isnt great and its nice to be able to read about someone who also suffers. Im sorry you’re going through this also and hopefully this story will also do you some good, I’m glad you decided to post it. I’m really excited for this one and can’t wait for more x

Ashley, being a counselor, I can agree with you. Anxiety comes in different shapes and sizes. It's no joke. I feel for you.

Social anxiety issues - wow! SO crippling!
But she made herself open the door and she actually talked to Edward. That's a good step.
Thanx for sharing.

I love your work. Thank you for another great story.. I'm so nervous about Bella's trauma..
