Chapter 31
Chapter 31 represents a critical point in my struggle with the conservatorship, where I began to question the contradictions and the manipulation at play in my life. The reason given for the conservatorship was that I couldn’t manage the basic aspects of my life—feeding myself, managing money, or even being a mother. Yet, after it was established, I was sent to work, appearing on How I Met Your Mother and embarking on a grueling world tour. This contradiction didn’t make sense to me. On one hand, I…-

Chapter 42
Chapter 42 marks a time in my life when my freedom was completely stripped away, and my world became unrecognizable. I was confined in a treatment center where even the most basic rights were denied. I couldn't go outside, drive, or even enjoy privacy. My blood was drawn weekly, and every moment of my life was supervised—whether I was sleeping, watching TV, or changing clothes. A strict schedule controlled my every move, with mandatory therapy sessions and endless meetings. The sense of being trapped was…-
