This website contains the personal story of what I have experienced as a person who has developed paranoid schizophrenia. It details my thoughts, feelings, and actions during the years prior to my first psychotic episodes, the time when I was insane, and the following years when I recovered (with the help of medication) and could return to society. Everything in this story is the truth-it is exactly what I experienced in my life. I live in Arnold, Maryland, just outside of Annapolis, in the United States.
If you suffer from schizophrenia, you are not without hope. People can recover with the help of medication. Thanks to medication, I have fully recovered and I have had no symptoms whatsoever for the past five years. I am now leading a productive life, symptom free.
