A mental illness in which a person believes they are dead or do not exist.

A woman in France who had this illness, convinced herself she had no stomach so she would not eat.

 

The boy in the back of class will convince himself he has no heart so he will not fall in love.

 

"You can't live emotionless forever," I said.

"Watch me," he mumbled.


The author's comments:

During the month of October there was an artist on instagram who did this thing where everyday in October he would draw something revovling around one topic. He did mental illnesses and one of them was Cotard Delusion. I looked it up to see what it was and it stayed in my head for awhile.
