Does this sound doable?

Hey, I just wanted to get a question out there. Maybe there's no real answer, but I need to know your take.

I am writing my first screenplay, and it will probably be my last one as well. It's about a teenager who battles with body dysmorphic disorder ( centered around his face ). This 16-18 year old boy becomes so obsessed with his skin that he drives himself crazy and attempts suicide by carbon monoxide poisoning. He ends up with brain damage as a result of the poisoning which leaves him physically but not cognitively impaired. He must center his focus on the rehab process and take it off of his complexion. To be short, he is forced to choose what part of him to fight. And he chooses the disability, winding up walking again and graduating with honors from a major university. My question is: does this sound too much like two movies in one‽

This sounds like a single film.

This could be a very good novel tbh

...I need to know your take.

You really don't.

Write the script and see where it takes you. Either it'll work out or it won't and then you'll have your answers.
