American Fiction Speculative

Hello, I'm here to tell you that I am walking a tight rope between society. My family and the mental health system and I have by my side.\n My daughter's images in my mind of my imagination, but they are real people. So how are you today? I wish everyone is doing well. The difference between my family society and mental health is that mental health solves or tries to solve problems. My family just sticks together, and society works. Basically or tries to survive and take care of their children and live and thrive. So that's my interpretation I can say you might have a different one, but I'm number 1 writing this. That's why I'm saying it With authority since I'm the author but I'm not ruling out the fact that mine is only one opinion and there's 8 billion or more opinions, I suppose. And unless I don't know if little babies had opinions, but they probably do since they feel a certain way about everything, just like adults. So they do have opinions too, which may not be verbalized yet. But that's beside the point and I hope you all are having good day, men, women, children, elderly middle-aged tweens teens, whoever you are and so since I've been in the mental health system and I can say, I can separate myself from it in my mind, even though I'm taking meds, they're prescribed to me medications for symptoms of some diagnosis I've received In my adventures of my life, I'm at hospitals with doctors. You think they know all everything about psychology and people in the brain? So I guess I could be notable as mentally ill which I don't like the sound of that who would. But so and my family really has been there for me, even though sometimes I doubt their loyalty to me or their support for me, sometimes I accuse them of trying to do me wrong and I just have it wrong? It's I'm a little. Maybe I am a little paranoid, actually. But I've been accused of being paranoid by others who may be projecting that onto me of themselves, but also society, I really respect for their realness and their strength and their perseverance, and I really think they are 3 separate entities the mental health system as I keep repeating in my family and society and me. And my daughters. We only we hardly talk, but I mean, they're with me. They always will be with me. And in my mind, in my heart, and in my imagination, they can be sitting by me right now, maybe since I can imagine that that means I have mental illness, I suppose, since they're not really there, but I see them is that a gift or is that a condition that should be, you know, thwarted with medications. Although I do see things that I think like whole scenes on the street, people talking, I can hear them outside and no 1's there when I go out or I'll see something but a mob of people and turn around and they're not there so maybe I do have mental illness, but I think I'm not the only one, and it's not as uncommon as I'm told or I think Anyone can imagine things that aren't there, but to actually see them and believe they're there when they're really not is a different story.So i'm hereHello, I'm here to tell you that I am walking a tight rope between society.

So I'm here to say I'm in the mental health system and I also am going to now eat a cookie.This voice texting story deleted a lot of the last part of the story , but oh well so I included eating something which was in the prompt so thank you for reading my story goodbye.
