Severe Anxiety

[syllysyl.livejournal.com]

Hi!

I've recently been reading Fireflies in the Dark by Winchesterpooja. In this story, Sam is suffering from crippling anxiety due to very traumatic events in his life. I was wondering if there are any other stories that deal with Sam sufferering from a mental illness (PTSD,OCD, anxiety, etc.) that is severe enough to warrant medication or hospital stays.

Thanks!

I wish I had something to recommend but I don't.  However the story you mentioned sounds very intriguing.  Is that here on LJ?

Here's a few:
Sam I am, "Dean sat, staring at his little brother sleeping on Bobby's couch. Sam had been gone for two years, taken when he was only fifteen. They'd all changed, but Sam was different."

And Fusion verse by mousme, although you might wanna read it from livejournal.
"Dean and Sam settle down in order to deal with the aftermath of the apocalypse"

I have to warn you, it's a work in progress.

You might want to check this author as well. Some of the fics deal with mental disability and recovery from severe head trauma. Really well written and the facts are correct as far as I know. Dawn N in FanFiction:

It's an AU of the time while Dean was in Purgatory, featuring Sam with severe PTSD and eventual Sam/Jody pairing.
