When I was 15, my house caught on fire. Ever since then I have experienced auditory hallucinations. Th is is my chance to rant, cry, laugh, and prove to the world that schizos can be successful. This is my chance to show that people with mental illnesses can do well. This story shows my ups, my downs, and random things that people will probably either laugh or cry out of embarrassment. But I know you should read it if you ever had someone struggle with a mental illness, or if you yourself ever have. This is my memoir. People ask me, “Hey, aren’t you a bit young to write that?” And they aren’t wrong. But if I can help even one person, well that will be worth it. -Your Favorite Schizo
