Background & Introduction
I’m posting to this site for the primary purpose of self-therapy: a catharsis for unexpressed lifetime content of pent-up emotions and memories. So, while I’ll be surprised if anyone anywhere reads these comments, it will serve one selfish purpose. I’ll be able to read my own story, told in a somewhat coherent manner. I was born into the world with a chip on both my shoulders. But in all fairness to myself, my birth was anything but without considerable trauma. Lodged against my mother’s pubic bone for 36 hours, I made me eventual presentation to the world with a crushed skull, extruding eye and evidence of a considerable stroke. The only reason I mention this is its probable role in the eventual development of symptoms consistent with schizophrenia. Those symptoms, and the subjective experiences brought about as a result, are the basis of the ongoing entries to this blog.
