Hello, my name is Tai An Zhou. You probably don't know me from Jack Nicholson, but hear me out anyway.

(I am aware this is technically against TOS but I am not sure how otherwise to share what I have written.)

&amp;#x200B;

I have been fighting debilitating mental illness for about two decades - a struggle that has almost claimed my life on more than one occasion. Around four years ago, as the final part of my journey of healing and recovery, I wrote my life story at the age of 33. As I write this, I no longer have any form of mental health disorder. It has been a long road to get to this point.

Please also be aware that several sections of the text deal with issues that are sexually explicit in nature.

I wrote the book with no intention of making money from it, in the spirit of human generosity and kindness with which without I would not be here writing these words. That being said, we all have bills to pay. My website has a Paypal button where you can decide to give as much as you decide my writing was worth to you - or if you prefer, nothing at all. 10% of anything you give will be donated to charity.

My only true hope for my manuscript is that it serves to illuminate and educate others as to the ravages of mental illnesses and abuse. And that it may inspire others to rise up to overcome their own obstacles and challenges. We - and by that I mean all of humanity - are all in this together.

Thank you for reading this far, and I hope you enjoy my writing. Never give up. The darkest hour is often before the dawn.
