About Me

Hi, I’m Dainis, and I live with schizophrenia.

A few years ago, I found myself in a whirlwind of belief, obsession, and emotion. I believed in something so strongly—the Law of Attraction—that I let it carry me beyond logic, beyond limits, and eventually… into crisis. What followed were intense highs, deep lows, hospital stays, job struggles, and moments I once believed would end everything.

But they didn’t.

I find peace in the chaos

I’m still here. And that means you can be too.

I've experienced the chaos of delusion and the numbness of medication. I've danced in police stations and sat quietly in psychiatric wards, wondering what went wrong. I've faced the stigma, the silence, the blank stares when I tried to explain. I’ve also found peace in small moments—a quiet morning, a good conversation, a single person who believed in me.
