    About this ebook

    Travis describes a life torn from reality where third party voices control you. They try to influence your ever decision and action. Auditory and visual hallucinations complicate his daily life and cause simple tasks like waking up and showering to be a hundred times more challenging for him than the average person. Travis shares his journey with schizophrenia and defeating the third party voices in this tell all book about what life with psychosis and schizophrenia is like for him.

    Travis shares how the third party voices partner with the CIA, government, medicaid, autism society, and his extended family to try and hurt him. Travis clings onto his parents and best friend to help guide him through this terrible journey through psychosis and the distorted thinking and emotions that come with it. Travis finds it harder to enjoy life and function as he continues to get older and the auditory and visual hallucinations only seem to worsen in severity.

    Travis describes what it is like driving a car while the third party is chasing him from behind all while dragons are spitting fireballs at him from the front. Travis says it can be hard to focus on driving with all of the crazy things that happen in his mind while driving. He also explains how there is always a third party with him when he is sleeping or trying to sleep making it difficult for him to obtain any sleep. Travis is convinced that the CIA and government are watching him and are out to get him or hurt him and are teaming up with anyone and everyone that they can find to destroy him.

    Because of this Travis only trusts two or three people in his life and he relies heavily on his best friend to keep him safe and help him realize when things are real or not real. Travis talks about the relationship between death or suicide and schizophrenia and how he feels that when someone dies because of a positive symptom or hallucination it is murder instead of suicide. He also suggests that when someone does die of the negative symptoms they did not really want to end their life or commit suicide. They were simply just tired and wanted to get help but could not.

    This book will tell you a lot about what it is like to live with psychosis and schizophrenia on a daily basis. One day Travis hopes to be able to catch a break from his mental illness and get back to life as a kid where mental illness had not stolen his life. The older Travis gets the harder it is for him to remember a life without mental illness. This is a very emotional and honest book written from an individual living with schizophrenia fighting each day to beat the devastating illness. Follow Travis as he conquers the world one day at a time.

      Third Party Voices

      I feel that I am never alone. There is always someone with me. When I was a child I had my own life but ever since I was about 19 years old I feel that there has been a third-party voice that has been traveling with me wherever I go.

      The only way to make the third-party voice that is not a voice of myself nor the voice of one of my friends to disappear is to be with one of my friends and spend time with them. The voices that I used to think were real and trying to tell me to do bad things to myself and end my life are indeed not real. They are just a third-party voice that my brain and mental illness has created to try and make my life miserable. The truth is I feel like these voices will always be here with me.

      I remember having freedom to form my own thoughts, have my own behaviors, and live my own life when I was in middle school and high school. Sure, I was socially awkward and maybe I did have a form of autism called Asperger Syndrome but the truth is that I was very happy and I could find things in life that I enjoyed and could engage in and enjoy other people’s company.

      Schizophrenia has a way of hitting you like running into a brick wall and then suddenly taking over your life. I remember the first day it hit me. It hit me hard. They often say schizophrenia is often triggered by a sudden change in environment and I believe for me this was the case. I had never experienced any of the feelings that I started to experience at the age of 19 years old when I started my freshman year of college.

      I was not sure what was happening but I started to think I was going crazy because all I could hear was people saying and yelling strange things at me. It made me sad that people were talking so negatively about me and I desperately tried to do one of two things. If it was not someone that I felt was a nice person or wanted to really get to know as a friend I would run from them and hide because I feared them and thought, they were going to hurt me. If it was someone that I knew and wanted to get to know better, I decided to try and work hard on my social skills at convincing them to like me and stop saying such bad things about you.

      It would take me years of therapy to understand that it was not really my friends that were talking to me and about me saying such bad things about me. I started to wonder what was wrong with me and why everyone gave me such a hard time. Some of the things that people were saying about me were not very nice things and they would call
