This site was based off the 2 year diary of a real life Schizophrenic, James Caldwell. His Non-Fictional Diary of Psychological Episodes takes you along the journey of a mad man who struggles to get stabilized on medicine. His diaries of psychosis talk about everything he was hearing, tasting, smelling, and seeing during these encounters at the time, Hallucinating. He will take you through his fears, thoughts, and feelings. His original handwritten notebook has been transcribed to digital. This provided a basis for obtaining the rest of the stories on the site, as people started and continue to submit their own accounts.
