I’m yet not ready to go public with my real name, because I’m afraid to get recognized. Besides, while working with this book project, it feels much more comfortable to pretend that we are two individuals rather than one, which is the fact.Therefore, if you wonder, I am not schizophrenic. However, I do have diagnoses that equal schizophrenia or psychoses in severity. I am diagnosed with PTSD and dissociative disorder, also called complex PTSD. I suffer from trauma inflected upon me mainly during my childhood. I am a survivor of incest, bullying, and negligence.To me it is crucial to emphasize the fact that I have survived. In addition, not only have I survived; in spite of my diagnoses, I am today living a rich and fulfilling life too.view less
