Winning Back Life

Chance Love is an entrepreneur and advocate for those who hear voices, have visions, and experience bizarre perceptions. Chance Love attended college and entered the workforce before experimenting with life. Exposure to drugs, involvement in the black market, and trying to pursue the American dream ended up being too much. These ingredients were the backdrop for a series events that led to psych wards visits and a diagnosis of bipolar I and schizophrenia disorder. Winning Life Back is an exploration of recovery and the time spent before, during, and after periods of divine madness, isolation, and treatment. This work disseminates the wisdom that can be garnered from extreme experiences of mental states with the hope to educate others about narratives of mental health and recovery. Chance Love explores experiences and touches on lessons learned that are relevant to the world at large. By sharing and examining visions, voices, and unconscious bleed through it is possible to see that there is more going on during madness than meets the eye. Chance Love relates the underlying misconceptions about the schizophrenia and mental illness through his lived experiences. This is a story that explores the effects of stigma, the reality of medical intervention, the appearance of wellbeing vs the true state of inner realties and is another anecdotal example of why we need to broaden the scope of education about extreme states of consciousness. Education and guidance could shorten narratives of madness and confusion like Chance Love experienced and improve countless lives.
