Lost In The Noise

Tags, warnings, AN

Please take a moment to read at least through the bolded sections and tags:

Hello, everyone! If you're new to my writing, welcome!

This is a super exciting book because it's totally different than my other stories and it deals with a lot of real issues that many of us may struggle with or know people who do. For this reason, below are all of the tags that I have used on Ao3. I would highly recommend reading through them before starting this.

On a more serious note, although I write for fun, this story is extremely personal to me. I wrote it to help myself understand and maybe even help those who are searching for comfort about these topics. If you need anything at all or more in-depth trigger warnings, please message me. That being said, if you have concerns about anything, I ask that you bring it to me through messages and not comment. I know it's stupid and I appreciate feedback, but I'm also a sensitive person with very personal feelings towards these topics and I would rather face any concerns head-on, rather than in the comments. (Please leave other comments though, I love reading them!)

A couple of times in this book, Louis does attend therapy. I have been privileged enough to have opportunities to go to therapy myself, but that doesn't mean I am a therapist or know all of the techniques. In fact, I'm sure I'm wrong about some things. Again, message me and I can fix this.

I wrote this book as an outlet for myself and not to show these things as an aesthetic. I don't even think anyone will read this story, but please do not translate unless you ask me first!

Please DO NOT continue if you are at all uncomfortable or triggered by these tags. I will have no warnings on separate chapters because these are relevant points throughout.
