“When young, I was a risk taker. Taking unnecessary risks like hard and soft drugs. I knew my brain was different because in late puberty I started hearing things and having racing thoughts.

 Fast forward to what the doctors call a “Significant Life Event” (caught my missus cheating!) and then in my job on a construction site as a security guard, I started hallucinating that the janitor, John, was planting explosives in the water coolers  because he worked for Al-Qaeda. (Spoiler: he wasn’t). 

Since my diagnosis, I just exist.”
