maladaptive

People who are "maladaptive" are making up scenarios in their minds: they are mostly daydreaming about their life in a pathological way.

So "maladaptive" is a story, where I am losing myself in a made up dream world after I refused accepting reality until it escalates in the end.

This book is composed of poems about the highs and lows in my life. The introduction encourages the reader to believe in their dreams until it turns into a bipolar nightmare full of self-doubts and pride while truths about social media and toxic friendships are uncovered. In the end I show you how it feels like to fall in love with an unavailable person and I will find myself distancing romantically from reality again.

It may contain sensitive topics like bullying, suicide, mental illness, violence, toxic friendships, eating disorders and unrequited love.
