Humans of Appleton North: Alexandra Laux

Humans of Appleton North: Alexandra Laux

Nora Ptacek, Senior Editor-in-Chief

“I was there [at the hospital] for a total of 48 days. Three times because I didn’t feel safe with myself, two because of attempts. They put you in hold, you’re held in a psych ward, then you get a court date. There is an awful stigma attached to reaching out. I was afraid to talk to people. There aren’t many opportunities at school to do that.”
