Just finished reading it. It was very good. She had a more severe form of sz than me but i could identify with some of her experiences. She ends up being so successful, I quite envy her. She didn’t seem to suffer from negative symptoms so some things looked easy for her like getting a job and driving. These things I struggle with daily. So she was worse than me with symptoms but ended up functioning better.
I’m still reeling from the last pdocs diagnosis of me. Anxiety disorder? huh! Then why am i taking antipsychotics? Am I psychotic? Maybe I don’t need my meds. Or am i a hypocrite and a liar all my life? Got to see my pdoc this month and can’t wait. Need reassurance I’m not a hypocrite and a liar.
I read that book a few years ago. It seemed like her schizophrenia was really severe but she was able to overcome/manage her symptoms and lead a successful life. A very inspiring story!
Last book I finished reading was Shadow Tag by Louise Erdrich. It wasn’t about SZ, though. Rather, about intimate relationships: spouse, kids, half-siblings. About love, and how love can make and also destroy. Ending was tragic. Dunno if I recommend it. She’s a good writer, however.
The last book I read was Villette, by Charlotte Bronte. It was very good. A classic Victorian novel. Now, I am reading Don Quixote, by Miguel de Cervantes. So far, it is very good. Although it’s paperback form has one thousand pages. That doesn’t intimidate me in the least.
