My God, My God

D. Charleston grew up like any other kid: No one would have predicted he would grow up developing schizophrenia.

By the time he finished junior high school, he was excelling physically and academically. He took sixth place in the semi-state high jump championship, and was neck to neck with a student who became a professor at M.I.T.

In college, his grades went from As to Cs, as he lost all desire to study. He goofed off, wasted tuition money, and only made it through one year.

Before long, he'd decided his family was evil, his city was evil, and America was corrupted with wickedness. He fled to Mexico thinking he would find peace in a new place.

Later, returning to America, he found himself homeless and was arrested at a Burger King for trespassing while searching for food in a trash can. Making matters worse, a fishing knife he was carrying was deemed to be a concealed weapon.

Going to jail, however may have saved his life. This book gives insight into his mind, what psychosis is, and what the mind believes is reality, during psychosis.
