Alright, chapter six! This one is called Jump Scare, how do we begin this chapter, Ellen?
Great! We have the first instance of her schizophrenia! We reached a milestone in this book already. To clarify, in this chapter we jump forward to her having 16 years old, already starting to have her career started in acting. It's gonna be a longer one compared to the other chapters, so bear with me.
We found out about her first taste in acting, thanks to her friend called Wiebke (Von Carolsfeld). A film called Marion Bridge, where she made his debut on cinema.
This is how she looked during the movie.
You could put a reflector in that forehead and make a lighthouse with it.
She then, for the first time, has her first schizophrenic episode when trying to eat something. Apparently a demonic voice tells her to not eat something when she puts it in her mouth.
Now the chapter gives a sudden shift, if you are not putting attention when reading the book you'll have no idea what the fuck is happening because the shift of the topic is spontaneous, you have to be extra focused on the shit written here. Literally after writing about her hallucinations she talks about her first stalker.
And then she talks about how she got her first role for television and how her career finally started.
And then her worst enemy is back, getting to get her wear dresses. But this time with a little extra to say that this kid ain't right, some self-harm to make things more dark. Just... read this and tell me how is this a story that is supposed to represent a stunning and brave person that is not at all fucking insane. This part gets dark in a hurry.
And returning to the stalker, she starts talking about how she was groomed by this man. To the point she was considering him as the love of her life.
This is possibly the worst and most batshit insane thing I read in this book yet. Just what the hell.
And then we go back to the schizo demonic voice attacking her once again, and then she told Wiebke about the experience with this stalker.
Things get bad to worse when the stalker of her decided to go to Toronto to pay her a visit, even sending messages to all of his friends when he arrived to the city. A thing of horror for her for sure.
Fortunately a female cop went and did the investigation and then they went to his house to arrest him, and put a restraining order against him. But for Ellen? She was shocked and hurt that his father got mad at her for messaging old men in the internet, even saying that it was worse than the messages his stalker send to her. The implications of the photographs are probably what you're thinking right now, and it only gets worse.
It seems that the danger was over for now, but she had to take measures to get away from him, like handling photos of him everywhere she went to make sure that he doesn't appear and try to do something to her, she mentions that she could visualize him killing her with a knife or shooting her in the head with a revolver. She appeared to be safe for now when she tried to take this measures.
But then...
The stalker appeared and managed to grab her and almost kidnap her.
Fortunately she managed to get the attention of the public and the creep run away, the same goes to Ellen that she fled as fast as she could to the another direction, running like there was no tomorrow. Later, the guy was arrested because of this. But for some reason, Ellen decided not to press charges against him from what happened.
Huh, would you look at that, he had schizophrenia, I guess it takes one to know one, right Ellen?
And this only would worse her mental health issues, as it apparently opened a way to her to do selfdestructing habits to her body, she even listed it here.
And then, more deranged behavior ensued... And all of Wibker could do was being there and watch that this girl doesn't have an overdose of any kind.
Definitely not a mental illness!
We entered the bulimic part of her life, just reading all of this is just pathetic.
And finally, she ended the chapter crying about his daddy getting reasonably angry at her for talking to a creepy old man online when she needed protection. Again reassuring that what her father told her is even worse than whatever that creep wrote to her into those DMs.
