I am a fiction writer living with Schizophrenia. I was diagnosed in 2018 and ever since then, I have been on the path to recovery. Waking up from psychosis and becoming aware that I am a schizophrenic has been a journey filled with amazing amounts of heartbreak, trial and error, and courage. It has challenged me to accept help from others, find coping mechanisms that work for me, and manifest a new normal for myself. It is my hope that through my writing I can help end the stigma that comes with having a mental illness and that I inspire all my readers to dream bigger than they ever dreamed before.
