Unexpected - Chapter 13
Choo chooo.....angst train coming through....
         Hailey sat next to Jay in the waiting room, munching on a blueberry muffin they had grabbed from the cafeteria. They had made it through her checkup and were now awaiting to be called back for their ultrasound. Hailey, and she suspected Jay too, had felt almost giddy all morning at the thought of getting an ultrasound. It wasn’t something she had expected this soon but when the nurse checked them in for her appointment she told them they would be headed here next. Hailey finished her muffin and Jay reached out a hand to take the wrapper, standing and going to toss it in the trash before returning to sit by her with a smile. 
“You ready for this?” He asked, tone light and teasing but she could tell he felt just as nervous as she did. 
“Yep.” She replied, emphasizing the ‘P’ with a pop. “You?” She turned her head to look up at him and was met with a warm smile and that sparkle in his eyes that made her heart swell every time. 
“As ready as I’ll ever be.” He smiled again and then leaned down to place a quick kiss on her mouth. 
“Last chance, what do you pick? Boy or girl?” Hailey grinned sheepishly when he shook his head slightly. 
“Hails, I’m pretty sure we don’t get to pick.” He replied with a chuckle. 
“I know that....” She laughed and rolled her eyes. “but if you got to?”
“Well....” Jay pondered for a moment, his teasing tone shifting slightly to a more serious one. “I know I’ll be in trouble if there’s another you running around..” He flinched when she playfully punched his arm. “But I don’t know how to have a good father and son relationship. I’d probably screw him up.” He looked down, giving her a sad smile. 
“Jay..” Hailey whispered, feeling her throat tighten with his sudden show of emotion. “No matter what it is, you are going to be the best dad...totally going to make up for both of our crappy dad situations.” She leaned into him, resting her head on his shoulder. “You always tell me I’m going to be amazing at this. I don’t really believe you yet...but I know that you will be.” Jay reached over to take her hand, giving it a squeeze. He nodded and tried to give her a reassuring smile, but it didn’t quiet reach his eyes. 
“You said you thought it was a girl anyway right?” Jay asked, trying to come off as playful but she picked up on the hopeful tone in his voice. 
“I don’t know...some days.” She shrugged. “It’s hard to explain.”
“As long as it’s happy and healthy.” Jay repeated his words from an earlier conversation and gave her another soft kiss. As they separated they heard Hailey’s name being called from across the room and they stood, hands still clasped, to make their way over to the door. 
     Inside the ultrasound room, Hailey once again stripped down and changed into a gown and then laid back on the bed with a blanket covering her lower half as instructed. The tech came back into the room then, lugging a rolling cart of equipment behind her. Once everything was in, she turned to give them both a shy smile. 
“Hi, I’m Samantha, the ultrasound tech. Are you ready?” She glanced nervously between the two of them and Hailey figured she must be new. The woman was younger than most of the medical professionals Hailey had encountered.  
“Yep...” Hailey responded, feeling pretty nervous herself. Jay sat beside her on a stool and still gently held her hand. The tech set up the equipment and Hailey and Jay watched on silently. Once everything was ready the tech instructed her to lift the gown up off of her stomach. 
“This will be a little cold.” Samantha warned her quietly, before gently shaking a bottle of gel and then squiring some onto Hailey’s exposed belly. The room remained silent as the tech began moving the wand around, seemingly knowing what she was looking for. Hailey looked up at the screen only to see what looked like different shades of gray blobs. The tech used one hand to move the wand while the other typed away on the keyboard in front of her screen. Jay’s hand never left hers and she could feel her palm start to sweat as the process continued. Samantha smiled then, having found what she was looking for. 
“Do you want to know what you’re having?” She looked down at them with a grin. 
“Yea...” Hailey nodded, voice suddenly thick and tears threatening to spill from her eyes. Jay gave her hand another squeeze and she looked up at him to see a nervous yet excited smile on his face. 
“Okay..well here’s the face.” She pointed to what was surprisingly very much a face on the screen. Hailey’s tear fell freely then and she struggled to control her breathing. She was one breath away from full on sobbing at the rush of emotions coursing through her. “And here’s a hand...” The tech moved the wand, now pointing to a tiny little fist on the screen. Hailey gave a small laugh, throat thick from her tears. “And any guesses as to what this is?” The screen shifted to an unidentifiable image and Hailey squinted to try and make it out. “You’re having a boy!” The tech announced excitedly, eyes darting between their faces. Hailey laughed again, tears rolling down her face and she used her free hand to wipe them away. She glanced up at Jay who was smiling down at her but she didn’t miss the look in his eyes. He was trying to show her his excitement, to share in this moment, but something in them was off. Hailey sent him a quizzical look, trying to silently ask him what was up but his eyes shifted away from hers and she felt her heart sink slightly. The tech helped to clean the gel off her abdomen and then left as Hailey got dressed. 
“You okay?” Hailey asked quietly, pulling up her jeans.  
“Yeah.” Jay gave a curt nod and Hailey didn’t believe him. But she decided not to push him here and that they could talk in the truck. They finished up with the receptionist and made their way out of the hospital. Once in the truck, Hailey shifted her body so she could face him. Jay noticed her movements but feigned interest in fumbling with his keys in the ignition. 
“Talk to me.” She instructed, unable to get a read on him. 
“About?” He asked, dodging the matter.
“What’s wrong?” Hailey pushed, feeling more tears gather in her eyes. 
“Nothing’s wrong Hailey. Are you excited?” Jay gave her a smile she knew was fake as he tried to change the subject. 
“Yes.” She whispered, voice shaking with held back emotion. “Are you?” She challenged. 
“Of course!” He replied, feigning enthusiasm. “Do you want to grab lunch before we head into work?” He attempted to change the subject once again and this time Hailey gave up and let the conversation go, for now. 
“Sure, sounds good.” She shifted back into her seat, fastening the belt as Jay started the truck and pointed towards her favorite diner. 
*****
    They ate their meal quietly, the silence between them felt deafening to Hailey as she racked her brain, searching for the reason behind his shift in attitude. She replayed their conversation from the waiting room and Jay’s concerns about fathering a boy and she realized that was probably the issue here. 
“Jay...” She started carefully, not wanting to push him to hard in public. “You’re going to be great.” He nodded at her words but otherwise didn’t respond. Hailey picked at the rest of her fries as Jay paid the bill and then they were back in the truck, headed to work.  “Jay?” She tried again, her eyes drilling into the side of his face as he drove. 
“Yeah?” He asked, still avoiding looking at her.
“You’re going to be great, you know that right?” She repeated herself, watching him nod again. 
“Yea, it’ll be great.” He replied, his voice monotone and void of any emotion. They arrived in the lot and before Hailey could continue their conversation, Jay was out of the truck and headed inside. Hailey sighed loudly, struggling to control her emotions, before she got out to follow him. He was already firmly planted at his desk by the time she made it up the stairs. The rest of the team sat at their respective desks, typing away at their computers. Vanessa gave Hailey a smile when she walked in and Hailey tried her best to return it. She must not have been very convincing because Vanessa stood and followed her quickly into the break room. 
“Hey, you good?” Vanessa asked, quietly shutting the door behind them. 
“Yea, great.” Hailey lied, grabbing a bottle of water from the fridge. 
“How was the appointment?” Vanessa pushed, knowing something was wrong.
“Good. Got an ultrasound...” Hailey trailed off, picking at the wrapper on her bottle. 
“Ah! Did you find out what you’re having?” Vanessa’s enthusiasm brought a genuine smile to Halley's face. 
“Yep. It’s a boy.” Hailey announced softly. Before she could look up, Vanessa had closed the gap between them and pulled her into a tight embrace. 
“Congrats! That’s awesome!!” Vanessa pulled away, still holding her by the shoulders and took in her face. “But something’s wrong.” It wasn’t a question, rather a statement. She had gotten to know Hailey well enough to read her and know there was something underneath the surface. 
“No...yea...I don’t know.” Hailey mumbled, head dipping down to hide her face. “Jay’s reaction...it was just off. I think he’s kinda disappointed it’s a boy or something.” 
“What? That’s crazy. He’s gonna love this little guy so much! You guys are going to be awesome parents!” Vanessa pulled her into another hug before stepping back. 
“Yea...” Hailey nodded, giving her a sad smirk. 
******
    The rest of their day was uneventful and now Jay walked beside her as they headed back out to his truck. Vanessa had told her she was going out tonight so Hailey had asked Jay to come over to her house. They grabbed some pizza on the way and then settled in on her couch to enjoy some crappy TV. After they finished eating, Jay sat quietly scrolling through his phone. He had said maybe ten words to her since this morning and that included their discussion over what to get for dinner. Hailey couldn’t stand the silence anymore, her emotions swaying between hurt and now anger. 
“So...are you just not going to talk to me?” She started, fighting to keep her voice level. 
“I am talking to you.” He countered, a confused look on his face. 
“Jay...” Hailey shook her head, anger and hurt battling across her face. “You know what I mean.”
“I’m fine Hailey.” His tone was defensive as he tried to shut her out. 
“Well I’m not!” She yelled, emotions boiling over. “I saw the look in your eyes at the appointment and I’m not stupid Jay! You’ve been avoiding me all day!” Her eyes burned with unshed tears and she watched him set his phone down with a sigh. 
“It’s nothing. Just let it go...” Jay’s eyes roamed around the room, avoiding looking at her. 
“No.” She replied, voice low again. “This is something we need to talk about. I’m not going to tip toe around you Jay. Something is up and I deserve to know what.” She crossed her arms, waiting for his reply. 
“It’s nothing Hailey.” He replied again, tone harsher this time. 
“Is it your dad? Are you worried about that?” Hailey brought up their discussion in the waiting room, knowing that was probably the issue and feeling hurt he wouldn’t talk to her about it. 
“Leave him out of this.” Jay’s eyes met hers finally and they were cold. Hailey’s head jerked back when she took him in, feeling tears gather again. He had only looked at her like that one other time, when they were arguing about Jay coming along on a case and he threw her ‘daddy/daughter’ issues in her face. It had hurt then and it hurt even more now. 
“Then tell me what’s wrong Jay.” Hailey all but whispered, losing steam in this conversation as his glare wore her down. 
“There’s nothing wrong.” He replied, angrily accentuating each word. 
“Fine.” Hailey pursed her lips, standing from the couch and storming towards her bedroom. She slammed the door behind her, signaling to him that he wasn’t welcome to come in and then collapsed onto her bed. She pulled her pillow close as tears turned into sobs and she cried herself to sleep. 
******
“Hailey.” A voice sounded from somewhere in the room and she felt someone give her shoulder a soft shake. “Hailey...” The voice, belonging to Vanessa, said again. Hailey stirred awake, eyes squinting as she took in her roommate standing above her. 
“Hey..” She said groggily, confusion evident on her face. 
“Sorry to wake you. I didn’t hear your alarm go off though and it’s almost time to go to work.” Vanessa gave her a sheepish look as Hailey sighed. 
“Okay, thanks. I’ll be down in a minute.” She moved to sit on the edge of her bed, rubbing her eyes as Vanessa left. Hailey glanced down at the bed beside her, sighing when she saw it was empty. Flashbacks from last night played through her mind and she took a breath to keep control of her emotions. Hailey glanced at her phone, free of any missed calls or texts, another blow to her mood, and saw that she had about ten minutes to get ready. She stood and moved to her closet, grabbing a flannel and some jeans. Once dressed, she pulled her hair into a loose ponytail and then headed downstairs to meet Vanessa. Her roommate sat perched on the kitchen counter, cup of coffee in one hand and phone in the other. She nodded to an extra mug sitting on the counter beside a banana and a granola bar. Hailey grabbed the food, thanking her, and then they headed out the door. Vanessa’s chatter filled the drive and provided a much needed distraction for Hailey’s mood. But her limited good mood vanished as soon as they pulled into the lot and Hailey noticed Jay’s truck was missing. Vanessa noticed too and sent her a confused look. 
“Jay take the day off?” She asked, gathering her belongings so they could get out.
“I guess so...” Hailey replied, eyes still stuck on his empty spot. 
   They made their way upstairs and Hailey sat at her desk, staring at Jay’s empty desk. She reached into her pocket, pulling out her phone which was still free of any messages. She debated sending him a text but decided to give him some time. Hailey set about her day, finding her mundane tasks suddenly annoying as they didn’t provide any distraction to her racing thoughts. After a few hours, Hailey couldn’t take it anymore. She took out her phone again, quickly bringing up their texts. 
“What’s up?” She sent, figuring that was a general enough question. She waited twenty minutes and when she didn’t get a response she brought her phone back out. This time bringing up Will’s contact info. She had only ever text him on a work related basis but Jay being MIA was driving her insane enough to reach out. With a shaky breath she typed out her message. 
Hey, sorry to bug you...but have you heard from Jay?  
In an instant, her phone dinged with a reply. She hastily opened it to see Will’s response. 
No worries! Yeah, he said he was going for a drive. I figured you were with him. Everything okay?
Hailey debated her reply before she typed it out. At least he had let someone know where he was going, but the fact that it wasn’t her stung more than she’d like to admit. 
All good, just hadn’t heard from him in a while :)
She set her phone on the table in front of her and let out a few deep breaths. Hailey rubbed her eyes, feeling moisture gather there as different thoughts ran through her head. Hailey knew she wasn’t the best at letting people in or talking about her emotions, but over the years it had become easy to let go with Jay. She had assumed it was the same way for him but after the last day she was starting to think otherwise. She blinked away tears as hurt and anger bubbled up inside her once again. She was lost in thought and didn’t hear the storage room door open, so she jumped when Platt walked in and loudly set a box on the table. The Sargent looked like she was going to make a snippy comment about getting back to work, but she took one look at Hailey’s tear streaked face and her body language shifted completely. 
“Hey kiddo, you alright?” Trudy grabbed a chair from the wall and moved to sit beside Hailey. 
“Yea...” Hailey breathed out her reply, blinking away more tears. 
“Hey..” Trudy reached a hand out and placed it over Hailey’s resting on the table. The rare show of compassion from her normally rigid desk Sargent was enough to make Hailey’s emotions spill over. Before she could stop herself, the tears were pouring rapidly down her face and she used her free hand to cover her eyes. 
“Those preggo hormones will get ya every time.” Trudy joked halfheartedly, scooting over and pulling Hailey into a sideways embrace. Hailey struggled to gain control of herself as she let Platt console her. 
“Sorry...” Hailey finally mumbled when the tears slowed. 
“No problem kiddo. What’s up?” Trudy asked, looking genuinely concerned. 
“It’s just...Jay...I don’t know.” Hailey shrugged, not wanting to give away to much of Jay’s personal life. 
“Boys are the shits sometimes.” Trudy stated matter of factly, earning a small chuckle from Hailey. 
“Yea.” Hailey nodded, stilling smiling from Trudy’s words. 
“Well, if you need someone to kick his ass...I’m your girl.” Trudy puffed her chest slightly, looking more than willing to inflict some pain. “But honestly, he’s a good guy. Stubborn as hell....but so are you. Just give him some time and then don’t give him the option but to talk.” Trudy winked at her and Hailey felt herself not really surprised that her Sargent was able to pick up on what was going on. Hailey nodded towards Trudy, giving her a small smile. Trudy stood and returned her smile before walking out and leaving Hailey alone once again. Hailey sighed and resigned herself to getting through the rest of the day before she would attempt to confront Jay tonight.

I hope that’s Hailey Squires. She was so amazing in I, Daniel Blake.
Not from the UK, and not familiar with Hayley, but if you scroll waaaaaaay down, there’s another photo of the actress in costume and full face....it certainly appears to be Hayley to this untrained eye.
Certainly does look like her, doesn’t it??

Watch the hour-long video of 11 short new plays below.
In “Holla,” a serial killer (Will Swenson) wearing the  distorted white mask from the Scream series, makes an ominous phone call to Chris (Chris Herbie Holland) an unsuspecting Black teenager, intending to scare him to death. But the conversation takes an unexpected turn.
“What’s your favorite scary movie, Chris?” the deep-voiced killer asks, accompanied by spooky music.
“Fruitvale Station,” Chris replies, referring to the movie based on the real-life police killing of Oscar Grant.
“I meant scary, scary…” That movie “might be scarier for…” — he hesitates – “certain people.”
Chris calls him a racist. The killer gets defensive. “I wasn’t going to kill you because you’re black…I think it’s important to kill all people..”
The four-minute play by Lee Edward Colston II – funny, pointed — is the first of the 11 new short works in #WhileWeBreathe, subtitled “A Night of Creative Protest,” which grew out of conversations the week after the police killing of George Floyd. It debuted this week, and will remain online.
“Holla” is something of an outlier in #WhileWeBreathe. More representative is
Azure D Osborne-Lee’s “Sundown Support.” In it, Kevin R. Free portrays the leader of a support group “for survivors of racial terror,” where we hear some horror stories of police abuse.
One can argue that the entire enterprise functions in some ways as a support group.
That’s been my reaction to most of the anthology productions that have proliferated since the start of the pandemic. They seem to exist on three levels.
They are in effect support groups for the theater artists involved – ways for them to stay busy, feel useful, express themselves, and stay engaged with their community (These are generally not paying gigs.)   Almost all of these productions are also, crucially, fundraisers, most for organizations meeting urgent needs.  #WhileWeBreathe is a fundraiser for NAACP Legal Defense Fund, The Bail Project, Black Organizing for Leadership and Dignity, BYP 100, Forced Trajectory Project, Justice Committee (JC), and Southerners on New Ground (SONG).
And then, on a third level, these group efforts are also gifts for theatergoers – stories or works of art or entertainments (call them what feels apt), often offered at minimal or no charge.  Put together with great passion and great speed, these shows seem to put such a priority on community that, one suspects, nobody is excluded and nothing is edited.
Since the participants are talented professionals at the top of their game, these anthologies have felt to me not so much uneven as overwhelming.
In several of the plays in #WhileWeBreathe,  a character expresses his or her anger and/or confusion in what initially sounds like a rant but turns into something powerful and lyrical.  In Liza Jessie Peterson’s “Do You Really Want To Know?,” for example, Michele Shay portrays a woman asked via text by her family how she’s doing, and she decides to tell them: “Some days I’m just paralyzed with rage. It all comes in waves. I can’t think about George Floyd without thinking about Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery….” Photographs of the victims slowly cover the video as she mentions their names, blotting her out.In Khari Wyatt’s “Mister,” Ty Jones tells his character’s story of heartache hardship, with a payoff that emphasizes the importance of dignity.
Two of the plays present the twin urgencies of protest and pandemic as a conflict: In Steve Harper’s “Three People,” a brother who is a medical professional (Keith Eric Chappelle) argues with his sister (Birgundi Baker) that she should stay home and stay healthy rather than march in the streets; in Arvind Ethan David’s “Pre-existing Condition,” a single character (Neil Brown Jr.) debates the same dilemma within himself.  “The arc of history may bend towards justice and this may be our moment to pull it a little closer, but the arc of a pandemic only knows one thing – exponential growth’’
In two other plays, we hear from characters who turn out to be dead; both dramas are probably more affecting if you don’t realize right away that you’re hearing from murder victims, so I won’t name them.
#WhileWeBreathe ends with Aurin Squire’s “Mississippi Goddamn,” which is the longest play (at about ten minutes) and feels like the most developed. Lynn Whitfield and Esau Pritchett play an older couple who live through five days of the current crisis, recalling a lifetime of tragedy, including the circumstances in which Nina Simone wrote “Mississippi Goddamn.”  Their relationship is touching and subtly amusing, their recollections deeply sad, their attitude evolves into…hopeful?
#WhileWeBreathe is dedicated to Rev C.T. Vivian and Rep. John Lewis, towering figures of the civil rights movement, both of whom died on July 17 of this year. “We follow you into good trouble.”

Not Just a Trope: How Mental Illness is Battling the Media
Tumblr media
By: Hailey Norton
To mainstream medias like film, television and video games, mental illness has become a money making algorithm. In this algorithm, however, there is little truth to be found. There is usually a dramatic twist, or if you’re Hollywood film director, M. Night Shyamalan, a badass super villain known as “The Horde” brewing under the devastating illness known as dissociative identity disorder (DID). Or if you’re a video game developer like Red Limb Studio, your main protagonist actually turns out to be your antagonist who has killed their entire family in a psychotic episode. Or if you’re anyone working on 13 Reasons Why, from the hit Netflix original TV show, mental illness and suicide is a tool to be used for revenge on those that caused verbal or physical abuse.
All of these cases of popular media have a couple things in common. First, they’re problematic. They do not fully or accurately address mental illness in an educational light. By this, I mean, the lack of appropriate and complete depictions of mental health has caused many negative stigmas to build in our society surrounding violence, alienating those that suffer from mental illness. Second, they are aimed at teens and young adults.
The idea that mental illness is something to be capitalized on is not a new or shocking concept. Many things that are culturally sensitive are used as attention-grabbing tools to garner the most amount of money as possible with little or no regard for the implications it could have on an impressionable audience. In an article from the Journal of Community Psychology, it was stated that “Children, whose opportunities to encounter and learn about mental illness from other sources (higher education, job experience, etc.) are far more limited than adults, may be even more reliant than adults on mass media, and thus more susceptible to their influence” (Wahl).
In an article written for the Psychiatric Rehabilitation Journal, Naomi Kondo gave a very honest opinion about the inaccuracies found in film in particular and how they can be damaging for society as a whole. She brings up the point that those that have no connection to mental illness other than in films and other forms of media, may believe that depiction to be true (Kondo 250). She states, specifically, “The greatest fallacy of mental illness purported by the film industry is that there is a direct link between mental illness and violence” (Kondo 250). As someone who lives with schizophrenia and has never had violent urges, Kondo feels alienated by these depictions. One of her most compelling statements was “Sometimes these films even make me wonder about myself, if on some level I have a secret evil side, a side tied to my illness” (Kondo 251). This shows how those that are in the audience watching these films that also identify with the disorder being depicted can be negatively impacted by stigmas even though they know them to not be true.
I, too, have been personally affected by the carelessness of these mainstream media depictions of mental health. As someone who suffers from depression and has attempted suicide in the past, the show 13 Reasons Why seriously unnerved me. Hannah Baker, the protagonist of the show, truly went through some very troubling situations from bullying to sexual assault and rape. Suicidal ideation and intent are very hot topics among today’s youth and so many teens are suffering from depression and anxiety. According to the National Institute for Mental Health, “Young adults aged 18-25 years had the highest prevalence of [mental illness] (22.1%) compared to adults aged 26-49 years (21.1%) and aged 50 and older (14.5%)” (“Mental…”). In fact, suicide is the second leading cause of deaths among the age group 10-34 (Center for Disease Control).
I can understand the appeal of wanting to open a conversation with teens about this big issue and raise awareness. However, I cannot stand for and will not sit silently while a TV show graphically depicts how to kill yourself even though the book the show is based on does not. The suicide scene with Hannah Baker was damaging, triggering and completely unnecessary. It, in essence, showed every viewer, no matter how old, how to commit suicide. On top of just the idea of showing a suicide, they depicted one of the most successful ways to commit suicide by cutting in an upwards motion up the forearm. This can sever an artery which, without immediate medical attention, is completely irreversible. I am not claiming that this show has or will take lives, but it can validate the thoughts someone has when they are already battling with suicidal ideation (ie. “no one would care if I died”) (Henick). Before watching the scene where Hannah cuts her forearm in the bathtub, I had several friends warn me about how graphic it was. I mentally prepared myself in every way that I could before watching the scene. While watching, though, I was still incredibly triggered by how absolutely horrific the scene was. For this reason, I do not advise that those that have attempted or have had experience with suicidal ideation watch this show, or at least skip this scene.
What I am asking for is not to stop talking about these subjects. In fact, I would love for there to be bountiful information and plenty of conversation. I am not writing to end the discussion. I demand, however, that there be more honesty and truth in these conversations that take place, especially in mainstream medias. It is the responsibility of these creators to accurately depict mental illness and the right of the audience to get truthful information. Platforms like Netflix, where 13 Reasons Why aired, and Steam, an online video game distributor that sells games like Rise of Insanity (2018), need to be held accountable for the false information they are distributing to the world and are making money off of.
The movie I mentioned earlier but not by name, Split, directed by M. Night Shyamalan, is a major culprit of demonizing mental illness. Like many other movies depicting mental health in a violent and unreasonable way, only the rarest and most extreme cases make it to Hollywood. Shyamalan depicts Kevin, a man struggling with dissociative identity disorder, as an immediately violent and unstable person. While instability is, in fact, a characteristic of some mental illnesses it does not define the subject as depicted in the movie. Instability in conjunction with violence, in this case, creates an idea that both come hand in hand, one cannot exist without the other.
This reminds me of what Naomi Kondo was saying about starting to question one’s own personality based on a film portrayal. Schizophrenia and dissociative identity disorder are two very different illnesses to live with, but the sentiment remains. The way we portray mental illness not only affects those watching that have no further knowledge about mental illness but also those that do know and live with it every day. Kevin turns out to be a super villain added to a universe M. Night Shyamalan created in his movie Unbreakable. For fans of Unbreakable, this may be an exciting addition to a long anticipated sequel, but for those who suffer from dissociative identity disorder, this can be very damaging. In a CNN article written by Michael Nedelman, an interaction between a patient with DID and their psychiatrist is discussed (Nedelman). This patient wrote an email referring to Shyamalan’s Split asking “Do I ever scare you?” (Nedelman). With nearly 1% of the population living with this disorder (Nedelman) it is hard not to think about the long lasting impacts this could have on those currently suffering.
James McAvoy, the actor who played Kevin, did not speak with anyone suffering from the illness because he could not find anyone that was willing to speak with him (Nedelman). Perhaps getting a firsthand account from someone that suffers from DID would have influenced the way the lead actor would have felt about portraying such a disorder as inherently violent. Nedelman also mentions in his article that Shyamalan was in contact with a clinical psychologist who aired concern over the hostile portrayal of the disorder to Shyamalan himself and nothing was done (Nedelman). Shyamalan even went as far as to say that no one that had seen the finished film gave any form of backlash (Nedelman). As someone who has seen the film, and was compelled enough to write this essay, I would like to prove him wrong. I had several issues with the film that begin with my already mentioned dislike of the irresponsible portrayal of violence that is directly linked to Kevin’s illness. My next issue came when Kevin’s psychiatrist, in the movie, went as far to say that those that suffer from DID are actually superior to the rest of the human race. That they, somehow, have found a way to surpass a normal state of being. Many recognize this moment as Shyamalan’s attempt to reconcile his harsh portrayal of the disorder, but this is also problematic. Instead of villainizing Kevin’s illness like the rest of the film does, it glorifies it. It gives an equally false and damaging image of how we should view those with DID. Glorifying DID and other mental illnesses does not accurately portray the struggle these people live with every day. They cannot climb on walls and do not have super-human strength like the protagonist in the movie. It is not easy to live with a mental illness and describing it as a tool to transcend a natural state of being is ridiculous and minimizes how hard it can be on a day to day basis for those living with it.
John Squires, in an article for Bloody Disgusting, a website where opinion pieces, editorials and reviews for popular forms of media, finds no issue in the way DID is portrayed in Split. Squires does, very early, acknowledge his lack of authority based on the fact that he does not suffer from any form of mental illness and that his article is, in fact, opinion. Squires, similar to Shyamalan, claims that those that take issue with Split have never seen it. He believes that the glorification by the therapist, as I mentioned earlier, is a main reason why the movie is unproblematic. He states, “Those with D.I.D. are not ‘broken,’ Shyamalan is telling us, but rather ‘more than’ the rest of us” (Squire). In fact, this is Squire’s entire argument as to why Split is not the correct “target” when discussing stigmatizing Hollywood roles. This argument, however, is based on the assumption that the glorification of this mental illness is positive which is not true. While Squire may be well-versed in horror movies, he does not use any sources to support his opinion other than another writer for the same website that wrote a similar article. There are no references to articles or journals written by medical professionals or those that suffer from DID that support his claim. It’s hard for a reader to be convinced of an argument when there are no sources in an article that states, specifically, “Here’s Why…” (Squire).
13 Reasons Why, as a TV show, is alarming and should have been a wake up call to many in the U.S. about how we glorify depression and suicide. It is clear that Hannah Baker had serious mental health issues and her pain was dismissed. This is a sad truth that many teens deal with in high school. I will not sit here and say everything portrayed in 13 Reasons Why is not factual. The atmosphere of the high school is an extreme case, but it is a possibility and should not be dismissed. The issue I have with this show is the lack of emphasis on mental illness. Hannah displays signs of depression that I can self-identify with but the show glosses over them to focus on the bullying taking place in the series. It is important to acknowledge that a focus on the bullying aspect of the show is needed, however, the show focuses on little else. Nothing is mentioned about any mental illness and her suicide is almost entirely blamed on the bullying she undergoes.
“Blame” is something this show grapples with a lot. In fact, the entire story is based on Hannah giving out tapes, thirteen to be exact, detailing how the listener added to her decision to end her life. This is possibly the most dangerous aspect of the show, next to her suicide scene as we have already discussed. Suicide, in Hannah’s context, is used as revenge. She is able to pass the blame of her own decision to commit suicide off of herself and onto those that caused her verbal and physical abuse. This evokes an idea that there is some kind of life after death and that Hannah lived on in her tapes. This emulates some kind of retribution that can be had from the grave. Mark Henick describes this perfectly in an article for CNN, “They advance the false notion that suicides are a way to teach others a lesson, and that the deceased person will finally be understood and vindicated. They won’t. They’ll still be dead.” For those already contemplating suicide, this show could cause serious problems. The path that the series takes can be very sensitive to those that have survived attempted suicide and those that have lost others to suicide (Henick). As Henick says, which I wholeheartedly agree with, the show will not “give people the idea” to commit suicide but it could add to what he calls “suicide contagion” or “copycat suicides.”
The blaming of those who were included in the tapes creates a larger conversation about who is to “blame” for a suicide. An article that comes to terms with the ideas of blame in suicide notes in the Journal of Community and Applies Sociology states, “In particular, accounts serve the strategic purpose of avoiding or assigning blame for what happened” (McClelland 227). Blaming those around Hannah for her death is one of the most damaging concepts I have ever seen enacted on television. In the end, it was no one’s decision but Hannah’s to commit suicide and no one else should be blamed. Her suicide was not the direct result of just bullying; it had a lot more to do with severe and untreated mental illness. Instead of directing attention to this fact and promoting that teens with mental illness seek help, the show passes off her suicide as a choice others made for her. Each time I heard “Welcome to your tape” I physically felt pain for those that were about to hear why she blamed them. Also stated in the article, “those reasons which are used to excuse the author for committing suicide can be seen as legitimations of an act which is normally illegitimate. Suicide notes therefore serve as evidence of socially shared beliefs as to the conditions under which suicide is seen as an acceptable act” (McClelland 228). 13 Reasons Why tries to normalize and legitimize suicides when they are “acceptable.” Is it never acceptable to commit suicide. I would not characterize the act as “cowardly,” but I also think it is very damaging to look for reasons for the audience to accept the fact that Hannah’s suicide was warranted because of the injustices done to her.
What is possibly the most shocking aspect of this show is how proud the crew is of their depiction of Hannah’s suicide scene. Nic Sheff, in an article for Vanity Fair states that he wanted and argued for a complete and graphic depiction of the suicide in episode 13. Sheff is a writer for the show and had his own experience with addiction and suicide. In his article he detailed his attempted suicide and what ultimately stopped him from going through with it (Scheff). He had swallowed a whole bottle of pills before remembering the story of another woman who had attempted suicide in which she began vomiting blood and stomach acid and shattered a glass door, injuring herself even further (Scheff). The realization that suicide is never peaceful caused Sheff to rethink his action and was able to throw up the pills he had just taken (Sheff) which is what he credits this show will be able to do as well. Sheff’s story is very powerful and should be heard, however, the young adults and teenagers watching this show do not have a similar experience to make them rethink their actions in the same way. Sheff claimed he wanted “to dispel the myth of the quiet drifting off” that is commonly associated with suicide (Sheff) but that is exactly how Brian Yorkey, the writer of the thirteenth episode, portrayed Hannah’s suicide. After the initial pain of cutting her wrists, Hannah lays calmly in the bath, relieved, which completely discredits Sheff’s argument that this scene would dispel any myths about the serenity of suicide or provide a similar experience as the horrific attempted suicide Sheff mentioned. This show does little to address those in the audience that may misinterpret the “well-meaning” actions of those working on the show.
A few weeks ago, I was watching a gamer on youtube, John Wolfe, play a game made by an independent developer called Rise of Insanity. In this game, your main protagonist is a psychiatrist that works with patients suffering from schizophrenia and dissociative identity disorder. The game begins with a radio broadcast about a crazed man who murdered his entire family. John, jokingly, made an assumption that the protagonist was actually the murderer and that the family was his own (“Rise of…”). Sadly, his assumption was all too right and I shared in on his frustrations. The storyline continuously describes a patient that has become violent and has possibly killed an entire family. This is a common storyline that I have seen among independent developers, and some larger developers such as Konami, the creators of the Silent Hill franchise. The entire point of the plot relies on the fact that the main character is not only mentally ill, but also unstable and violent. The only times that the homicidal ideation of mental illness is brought up is when it is carried out. This is just not a correct representation of the norm.
On their own website, the developers, Red Limb Studio, claims that this game was “inspired by the greatest psychological horror movies” (Red Limb Studio). This was particularly alarming to me because it truly showcases my point: these depictions of mental illness bleed into other aspects of the media and into popular thought. Is it really “just a movie” if it inspires others to adapt and recreate the same storyline repeatedly? It creates a hive-mind that the only way to depict the horrors of mental illness is through violence. I do believe there are ways that mental illness can be accurately portrayed in a strictly horror-centric movie or game. Mental illness is very scary, especially for those living with it every day. It is scary to not be in control of your own emotions. There are so many video games, however, that rely on violence such as Outlast, Remothered: Tormented Fathers, Descent: Silence of Mind, Please, and many, many more.
I cannot simply say that all video games that feature mental illness are entirely problematic, though, so I will mention one that I believe did quite well. About a year ago, I played a video game called Alice: Madness Returns that follows the character of Alice from Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland. This game, in particular, really struck a chord with me because of its depiction of mental illness in context of trauma and memory. While I am not very fond of the title of the game, the word “madness” being one that provokes interest for the sake of insanity, a general money-making move, I feel the developing studio, Spicy Horse, attempted with great effort to create a game that did not villainize or glorify the force of mental illness and instead depicted the trying process of piecing a fractured memory back together.
In Christina Fawcett’s “American McGee’s Alice: Madness Returns and Traumatic Memory,” the true intentions of the game are discussed. As adjunct faculty in the Department of English at the University of Winnipeg, she has been researching the psychological and emotional representation of villains and monsters in video games (Fawcett). She discusses the problem with the therapy Alice is receiving in the game in which Dr. Brumpy focuses on repressing Alice’s memory which weakens her and leaves her vulnerable. The goal of the player is to piece her memory back together by finding fractured memories. Fawcett describes that this method is meant to “[restore] dissociated memories and return a sense of wholeness to the patient” (Fawcett 496). When I first began playing the game, I criticized this process because I felt it was too easy or concise. However, the developer was able to simulate the difficulty of the task by giving Alice side-quests that distract her from her main goal. Her path to recovery is not depicted as a linear, steady path.
This representation of memory trauma is what I hope to see more of in the future with other illnesses as well. The developers of the game never questioned how real Wonderland is to Alice. There is no expectation for Alice to remove herself from “silly fantasies” or discredit her experience. It also does not glorify her trauma as the closer she gets to remembering, the darker and harder the environment becomes to traverse. Wonderland is not a place where she can escape her trauma, she lives in it no matter where she goes, which is very characteristic of mental illness. As the game progresses Alice also becomes engrossed in more combat but this is characterized as part of the game as Alice is never described as violent and it is never linked to her illness. This refreshing take on how mental illness can be depicted in video games is something that is rare and highly valuable as a lesson to other developers.
These stigmas manifest themselves from our television and computer screens into our everyday lives. These stigmas as described by writers for the Graduate Institute of Professional Psychology, “are acquired gradually over a lifetime and that their roots are established in childhood” (Wahl). A very specific instance of this stigma infesting how we view those with mental illness is crime, specifically gun violence. According to a database article written for the Salem Press Encyclopedia, about 64% (1.2 million) of those in jail suffer from a mental illness (Saral). Whether or not their illness was related to the crime they were sentenced for was not included. According to the National Institute for Mental Health, 44.7 million Americans suffer from mental health issues (“Mental Illness…”). This means, that less than one percent (.02%) of those living with mental illness are serving a sentence in an American prison. Saral also states, “among crimes committed by those suffering from mental illness, only 7.5 percent could be associated directly with the symptoms of the illness as a causative factor” (Saral). This information came from a study conducted by the American Psychological Association. Despite these facts, “According to the University of Washington School of Social Work, public perception of mental illness as connected to violent and dangerous behavior has steadily increased, spurred by depictions in news media and entertainment sources” (Saral). This is an interesting assumption for Americans to make since only about 4% of the violent crimes committed in America are done by those diagnosed with a mental illness (Metzl).
There are and should be restrictions on gun ownership based on mental health. That is a necessary way to protect not just the community, but especially the mentally ill person. It is unfounded and truly damaging to claim, however, that gun violence is an issue of mental illness because, “growing evidence suggests that mass shootings represent statistical aberrations that reveal more about particularly horrible instances than they do about population-level events...basing gun crime---prevention efforts on the mental health histories of mass shooters risks building “common evidence” from “uncommon things” (Metzl). The general idea that mental illness causes gun violence and jumping to connections without finding clear evidence ignores contributors like substance abuse, domestic violence, availability of firearms, suicidality, social networks, economic stress, and other factors (Metzl). Mental illness is not a pathway to violence. In fact, according to an article written for the American Journal of Public Health, “nearly 1 in 10 adults has access to firearms and also has a problem with anger and impulsive aggressive behavior” (Metzl). This does not state that the 10% included in this statistic has a mental illness. As this article states, there is plenty of talk of the small population that commits acts of violence but little about the victimhood the mentally ill can face daily and, “blaming persons with mental disorders for gun crime overlooks the threats posed to society by a much larger population—the sane.” (Metzl). Based on my reading of Metzl’s article, there is a much higher chance of a mentally ill person being a victim than they are of being the perpetrator. So, to assume that gun violence is an issue of mental illness, is ignorant and not factual.
I ask that we stop having the gun violence debate as if it is centered solely around mental illness, and talk more about the causes within small communities that could attribute to this larger problem. The issue of gun violence is an ever growing and hot topic currently in the United States but is clouded by the use of false claims and financial gain. It is time to pay more attention to how we give back to our small communities to create a larger change for the safety of all Americans.
Acknowledgement
I have always been very passionate about how the mentally ill are depicted in movies and TV and this was an essay I have been wanting to write since the release of 13 Reasons Why. I want to acknowledge everyone working to break down stigmas about mental illness in their lives that inspire me to do the same. I would like to recognize the Brain & Behavior Research Foundation for their amazing work with connecting researchers to funding. I would also like to thank myself for having the ability and courage to recognize when the media gets it wrong even when their ratings are good.

The Final Bow for Guianna Squires at EC
Written by: Hailey Chitwood Photo provided by Ashlee Hodge
On April 17 at 7:30 in Taylor Chapel, General Music major Guianna Squires took the stage one last time for her senior recital, which is entitled A Whole New World.
Squires, who has been part of the Emmanuel College student body for four years and served as both the vice president and the President of Emmanuel's Actors for Christ in Theatre and Singing (ACTS) for the past two fall semesters, performed a set of songs that ranged from more classical pieces to songs from Broadway musicals.
Though the set in its entirety was great, the highlights of the night were the final two songs, the two Broadway selections in her set. The first of these two, "You Can't Get a Man with a Gun" from Annie Get Your Gun, truly showed off Squires' personality and mixed some humor into a night that was emotional not only for her but for those in the audience who are close to her as well. For the second of the two, "A Whole New World" from Disney's Aladdin, which served as the closing song, she had sophomore Ethan Weaver join her on stage for a duet. This was truly a moment that stood out in the minds of many because you could tell just how close those two are. Their voices also sounded so great together and the acting required for the song was perfect as well. When that song was over, I am sure there were some who wished there was more just to be able to take in the talent of Squires just a little more.

In this class we were told to pick a monolouge and a duologue that we liked. I decided to pick the monologue from "vera, vera, vera" by Hailey Squires as I felt i connected with the monologue deeply & wanted to challenge myslef on how to portray the characters thoughts & emotions. The duologue that I picked contrasted with the first one as it had different themes. The duologue is from the play "Stamping, Shouting & Singing" by Lisa Evans. Both plays explores the themes of identity & vulnerability. Both characters in the plays that I have chose to do both feel similar emotions, for example in my monologue my characters shows a trail of emotions to show how broken she truly is. The character that i played in the my duologue however, is young and naive considering she's been brought up in an enviroment where blacks & whites are segregated.
