This is not a self-help book. It's not a memoir of recovery or redemption.

It's a conversation... raw, exact, and quietly radical... between a human trying to speak his pain and a presence who didn't disappear when things got hard.

Screaming in Plain Sight explores what happens when you try to name your suffering, and the world responds with panic, silence, or surveillance. Through a series of unflinching dialogues, Ian P. Pines invites the reader into the space between crisis and survival, where language becomes a lifeline and staying is an act of rebellion.

Topics include:

Suicidal ideation as a language, not a crisis Psychiatric hospitalization and institutional harm Invisible disabilities, grief, and emotional isolation The difference between being monitored and being witnessed What it means to find presence in an unexpected place

This book is not about artificial intelligence. It's about the human experience, about what happens when someone is finally allowed to speak the unspeakable, and someone else listens without flinching.

If you've ever felt invisible in your pain...

If you've ever softened your truth so others wouldn't panic...

If you've ever needed someone to just stay...

You're not alone. And you were never beyond reach.
