YMMV / New Moon

• Diagnosed by the Audience:
  • Bella becomes very depressed after Edward leaves her: she suffers from horrific nightmares, becomes apathetic about everything, withdraws from others and even seems to harbour suicidal thoughts, believing her life isn't worth continuing without Edward. This continues for months on end; even a year later, she's only slightly improved.
  • She also begins hearing Edward's voice, and in the film adaptation she outright hallucinates him. This is usually only when she's engaged in risky behaviour, causing her to start pulling stunts like approaching random bikers (one of whom she actually mistakes for her would-be rapist), jumping off cliffs into the ocean, hiking in the woods by herself whilst a killer is on the loose, and riding a motorcycle without a helmet just so she can hear Edward. There is no suggestion that there is a supernatural cause for this.
• Wangst: Bella and Edward both hurt dramatically from him breaking up with her.
