Read SchizoPunk :: Foreword

I've written whatever came to mind since 2020 and i always had the overarching theme of persevering through mental suffering. I have some larger works in progress but i also had a lot of ideas which dont really have a place in my larger things so i just jot them down in my phone's note app and share them with friends and that's that. i have written stories that astonished, challenged, and unnerved.

From an intrepid traveler trekking through dark wastes, to a broken mechanical being with a kind center, these tales will come off as weird, abstract or even downright disturbing.

So this is my warning to you, these stories are deep dives into dissociation, mental illness, schizophrenia, panic attacks, suicide, self-harm and other themes that would get me smited by discord moderators.

And if you're curious about the name "SchizoPunk", allow me to humor you. SchizoPunk refers to the writing style ive adopted that is descriptive, visceral, and does not hold back with its themes. I am not really an artist aside from being a graphic designer and this sensory-provoking way with words is how i make up for it. It also refers to me having being confirmed to have Schizophrenia, one of the most stigmatized and misunderstood mental conditons even nowadays in the year of our overlord 2026.

Without further to say, i hope you find this periodically growing collection of works interesting, enlightening, or even enterntaining.
