Since this was written Lori has successfully completed her book of her triumph over schizophrenia,the book is available in either hardback or paperback format and as been translated into over 5 languages. I believe it is selling very well and highly recommend the book for anyone involved in schizophrenia - either with a family member or from a professional standpoint. Lori is also working on another book on the value of music therapy for schizophrenia that I believe will be out in 1997. I suppose it's a lot like an alcoholic's blackout.
Life seems dark, scary and fragmented.
I couldn't get relief from my psychotic world. I wanted to die desperately in an effort to free myself from this world. The first time I heard those derogatory Voices was as a teenager. I didn't know what was happening to me. I felt like I was possessed, and my mind was infected by demonic spirits.
