I Think My Brain Is Rotting In Places (I Think My Heart Is Ready to Die) by batwingz

Summary
Spencer Reid has always had unhealthy coping mechanisms, thoughts that spin on repeat, the classic tales of depression, and untreated ADHD. He's smart enough to know that, but it doesn't take a genius to take one look at him and realize that he's not the most normal person in the book.
When Strauss has him involuntarily committed though, the BAU team suspects something greater and fights to have him out. The problem arises in the form of Reid's mental health that landed him there (at least partially) in the first place, bureau red tape, and of course, Strauss's iron fist.
OR: Reid gets hospitalized instead of JJ leaving.

Summary
He lost Haley and he's losing Jack; but he won't lose Spencer, his only vice, his saving grace, the only thing left holding him together. Hotch won't let his son break down, he won't let anybody hurt him; never again.
Nobody will make Spencer upset, not without leaving bloody and in a bodybag.
Not without giving Spencer another reason to smile.
or TL;DR
Spencer is Hotch's son and Aaron is starting to realize that when Spencer is involved, his morals are a tad bit skewed.

Summary
nemesism (n.): frustration, anger, or aggression directed inward toward oneself and one's way of living
--
Spencer Reid has never had it easy. He struggles with obsessive-compulsive disorder and autism on a daily basis, masking at work so his colleagues don't see him as weak. It seemed like a highly necessary plan; pretend at work, never let them see who he really was.But after years of bottling up emotions, he picked up several unhealthy coping mechanisms. Not long after he managed to kick his dug addiction, he returned to his oldest-learned mechanism: self-harm.
After several weeks of worrying behavior and an especially triggering case, Derek Morgan asks to stay the night to make sure his friend was okay, and Spencer regrettably agrees. And then his whole world is turned upside-down.
--
This was created after I realized how unrealistically these topics are portrayed in many other fics. There is a dire need for a realistic explanation of addiction, recovery, and the ups and downs of real life, and I decided to give that to the AO3 world. That being said, keep in mind: it is hard, gritty, and painful. But, just like life, things do get better in the end. -

Summary
Reid struggles with depression, sobriety and withdrawal. Morgan finds him and feels guilty. It’s switching POVs between mostly Morgan and Reid, but I’m planning to maybe involve others too. It’s basically during the end of season two (after the Tobias Hankel case).
Mostly Reid- centric.
Also kinda slow burn I guess, but I’m building up to it! -

instead of offering peace like she’d expected, morgan simply says, “how do you think he held it together when he found out that you were lying to him for ten weeks? take that feeling, and bottle it, just like he did when he thought his best friend was dead.”
