I feel I’m very ambitious but SZ limits my ability to succeed in my ambitions. It’s a tough predicament to live in but maybe one day it’ll pay off being ambitious. Anyone else a very ambitious SZ and what do you think of it?

I feel like I am very ambitious! I have a lot of hopes and dreams and aspirations. I am in graduate school but I have a hard time with the coursework because of my cognitive issues and positive symptoms. I definitely feel like it is harder for me to succeed and be successful. But I am also aware that only I can define what success means for me.

Wise words…I need to work on this but my ambition often causes me self hate that I’m not good enough because I haven’t had much success.

That is understandable, I’ve definitely experienced too. I find that making small goals that are achievable and working my way up to more ambitious goals helps with that. Sometimes even just getting a journal entry down is ambitious for me.

I consider myself ambitious. After just finishing my first week at school, I can tell I am going to have t study just a little bit harder and longer than most. I don’t know if it’s my MI or the meds but I am a tad slower on the uptake. I also have to deal with my chronic delusion.That’s OK. I’m up to the challenge. So far, so good. When does school start for you again?

I was ambitious to be drug and alcohol free, diet, keep my wieght down, marry, have kids, have a carreer, achieve things with my hobbies and get off disability.

Now I am ambitous to just go the longest period I can without any symptoms.

Oh, cool. What classes are you taking first quarter? General Psychology is going to be my most challenging class. It’s big time information dumping. Brain anatomy, central nervous system, endocrine system (in detail)… and that’s just ‘part’ of one chapter.

It’s an 8 credit course. Only one class one day a week + 2 field trips a month to local poetry events

I’m ambitious, but lacking in ability to do anything about it. Currently anyway. Who knows what the future holds.
