Growing the Real Me: The Raw and Undeniable Story of a Schizophrenic Coming Into Reality (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781952491887)

While many professionals think schizophrenics are without hope, one person questioned this assumption. After decades of work with her therapists, diagnosed schizophrenic Shirana Joy emerged into reality. This is her story.

Imagine a world where you are adrift in an inky blackness without a sense of self. This stark reality plagues millions of schizophrenics, making every day a battle to exist. But there is a way to come into reality, where the joy and wonder of life - which most of us take for granted - exists.

Shirana tells her story in her own words, from her earliest memories to the present day. She shares her discovery of the bridge into reality, where she exists in time and space. She has a past, present, and future - as well as both a subconscious and an unconscious. This is a compelling book for people who live with schizophrenia, the professionals who work with them, and those who love them. Come witness the compelling journey of a schizophrenic coming into reality!
