Hi, my name is ta_x!

ta_x

Hello.  I chose "ta_x", as it is 'ta' with a kiss (x)! 

I keep myself busy during the day with an aspirational tax/accountancy business!   

My goal is to be remembered for my contribution (being a valued member of society). and not my condition (schizophrenia). 

I crave the dignity of being a valued human being, as I know first hand the stigma that surrounds the condition.

It is time to ditch the label and to be brave in the face of professional and personal challenge - a sort of intellectual jujitsu move!  I am not saying it will be easy, however I think the time is right to push the boundaries of what we can all accept as normal.

Thank you for the opportunity to share.

ta.x.
