FourTris Nightmares A/N
So, hello.
I haven't been on for a long time. I do suspect most people have stopped caring about this fanfiction.
Last you heard, I was just starting the major struggle with my health, and I believe I should update you.
So, my health for a while caused me to completely loose my mobility, and I've been wheelchair bound several times in the last 2 years.
I have an official diagnosis now of CRPS; Complex Regional Pain Syndrome. You can google it if you want.
I have been put on various medications by my doctor, and he has proven to be very good, despite how much I used to dislike him. Keeping in mind, I was extremely grumpy and angry at everyone about everything at the time.
I have currently just changed over a medication, which is going well. I am currently mobile, and my physiotherapy is doing marvellously. I am able to go to a proper school now, and I am in year 10. I recently turned 16, which has been a bit crazy.
I want to thank you guys for the constant support, you guys have really helped me to stay strong 3
I also wanted to address a couple of common reviews that I've been getting.
One of them is that Tris doesn't deal with the rape/sexual abuse properly.
Now, there are a lot of ways that people deal with this stuff. I personally have had to deal with rape/sexual abuse, and I know a couple of people who I am close to have had to deal with it too. Now, in this fanfic, Tris has PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder). I have also been diagnosed with that.
Part of Tris's PTSD would be her major emotional swings. It is a common thing, where one may be absolutely fine, and then they are having a breakdown. It is a symptom that I have experienced, and people I know with PTSD have experienced it too.
Another thing is that it is still humorous. I, like many others, have relied on this tactic. It is more common than many may realise.
The other major thing is that she starts a relationship with Tobias very shortly after the event. This is also very common. Tobias is Tris's 'hero'. He saved her from a much worse fate.
Some have also said that the storyline is very erratic, which is a fair enough call, and everyone is entitled to their own opinion, and I don't expect to change that. I just want to explain it, so you may see my point of view.
The storyline is so erratic because I am trying to portray a very authentic case of a young girl with PTSD.
Thanks again, for all your support, and I hope that this clears some stuff up. I will be posting new chapters very soon, and I will give it a proper ending.
Love you all, and DFTBA
