Did anyone have a specific dream to fulfil before schizophrenia?

Yes, lol!!!. You know what I’m talking about… My dad used to regularly bring home cool stuff that he found at work
He found a whole bike once and I did a little work on it and ended up owning it for a few years. The things he found the most were tools. Wrenches, screw drivers, monkey grips, etc. Once he found a $100 dollar bill.

I wanted to be a doctor.
In later years it was still doctor but was also some other profession parttime such as director or something.

I also wanted to have my own farm.

Wanted to marry and have children.

I beleive that I have made billions of dollars but someone else got the money…,
I made it n they got it…
A few years ago I counted how much had made with my eons work etc n same amount came up someone else had…

I beleive I work n I beleive I was a workaholic working beyond day n night but not with my body…,

But …
I don’t think of it any more.
Stopped being angry about it I think.
Don’t think about those took it either.

Just will try get some parttime simple physical work .

Anytime!

To become a psychiatrist to redirect the souls of the new age

To travel more…

To be awesome. I’m still awesome, just not in the flavour I was expecting.

My ultimate dream was ironically to be a therapist or more so psychiatrist. I had been going to school for it and everything. It’s still in my heart, but it can never happen because there is no cure for this hell.

Right before the onset of Sz, I was learning English language in Australia and wanted to teach English in China. I planed to open an English language centre in China. Now the antipsychotics ruined my memory so I can’t be a teacher myself.

I almost invented a very basic computer’s operating system myself just right before diagnosis. When I was doing the low-level programming using Microsoft Macro Assembler 6.0 and Debugger, suddenly my mind went blank… I ended up with an operating environment (just the User Interface and basic applications) instead of an OS.

I wanted to be a meteorologist. I must admit though that missing the forecast as often as they do, dealing with people expecting me to get it exactly right which is impossible to do, and saying the same things over and over again on the Weather Channel would have gotten old fast.

I too wanted to be a social worker, psychiatric to be specific. I wanted to go on for a phd and broke down the first year into the master’s program.

when the doc said it was sz I was shocked… I always was interested in treating people with sz… and then it was me.
