Hardship fundraiser for living expenses!

Hi guys! I’ve written an update on my situation at the end! my name is Ceylan, and I’m a queer author who also struggles with mental illness- you might have known me back in the day as the author of the YA novel “On a Scale of One to Ten”, and a regular mental health blogger on instagram! I feel really bad and somewhat ashamed to be making this fundraiser, but- due to a big decline in my mental health- I have found myself in the position of having no money at all for the next month to cover rent, bills, food, vet appointments for my puppy & other living expenses.

I have depression and Complex-PTSD, which has led me this week to attempt suicide after months of darkness. Before I did this, I decided to withdraw and give all of my money away to people rough sleeping on the street as a final positive gesture- but obviously, I survived.

i’m now left in a position where I have little mental health support, am struggling to write anything because of my mental health and have no money whatsoever for anything at all- which is a massive additional stress.

I don’t expect people to donate, but even a share would be so appreciated!

update: my depression really took over a couple of weeks ago, and after another attempt on my life I have been sectioned in hospital since. Thanks to the kindness of those who donated I have been able to cover bills and my rent. I am being discharged next week however, and will still struggle for things like taxis to appointments (my physical health is not great at the moment), as well as food. So any donations would still be so appreciated! ❤️

much love,

Ceylan x
