"Living with Psychosis: Finding Light in the Darkness" is my story?a journey through one of the most difficult and confusing experiences of my life. My name is Hugh Peter Hardin, and I've lived through the disorienting, terrifying, and often isolating world of psychosis. This book is not just about what I went through, but about how I found my way out of the darkness and began to heal.

I still remember the day reality started to slip away. It wasn't sudden, but gradually, I found myself trapped between two worlds?one rooted in reality, and the other a chaotic, distorted version of it. The thoughts, the paranoia, the fear of losing control were overwhelming. But as terrifying as psychosis was, the hardest part was not knowing how to make sense of it all, or if I would ever feel like myself again.

In "Living with Psychosis", I share my experiences with raw honesty. I open up about what it's like to live through psychosis, the fear, the confusion, and the struggle to find a way back to reality. But more importantly, I talk about my recovery?how I learned to manage my mental health, rebuild my life, and find light in what felt like an endless darkness.
