Seeking Mental Illness Fanfics!

Hello!

I’m currently conducting research into the representation of mental illness within fanfiction, and I am seeking recommendations for fics. I would love to hear of any stories you know of that meet the following criteria:    - Contains at least one PoV character who is mentally ill.    - Author has stated (usually in fic notes, social media or similar) that they experience mental illness.    - Works must be in English. These fics can be of any length or fandom. They can be standard fics, podfics, or other formats as long as they are transformative works. They can focus on ANY kind of mental illness, and that mental illness does not need to be defined explicitly as long as it is clearly a significant focus of the story.

I do not need them to be archived in any particular place, though if they’re on the AO3 that would be ideal for me, as a lot of my other data (tag frequency etc) is drawn from there for ease of access’s sake.

I’d also love references to any rec lists or similar that focus on mental illness.

I’m doing my own research of course, but there’s no resource as good as asking. You can either reply here, use my asks/messages, or contact me at rmm51@kent.ac.uk if you have longer recommendation lists to pass along.

Thank you all so much!

ETA: Just wanted to note that I’ve consulted my research ethics representative and as far as we’re aware, this request doesn’t require any formal review - the content of your recommendations won’t be used in my thesis, it’s just information gathering for me!
