"No one in this world needs a frigid, wooden thirty-year-old woman." Those were the last words my husband spat out before slamming the door behind him. For eleven years, I lived a quiet life. I had a family. I thought I was happy... But one single day shattered everything—splintered my so-called happiness into sharp, bitter fragments. Because the truth is, it was never real.

Even my children. To stop him— I accepted a most unexpected offer.

I often felt that the world around me was an illusion. Everything seemed unreal: me, the people around me, the houses, nature.

I would lose everything that was important to me. I would be left alone. Fear became my constant companion. I tried to get rid of my obsessive thoughts, but they won out time and time again. They consumed me. Fear won. It destroyed my illusory world on an unremarkable autumn morning.
