Eventually getting on my own, quitting porn, no longer taking sex too seriously, and writing a number of poems are among things I’m proud of.

I’ve learned to play golf, trying to learn another language, Am sort of unmotivated sometimes,
especially in the morning. I have an interest in clothes and fashion, might want to study to become an optometrist. Just want to be in safe places and maybe travel someday.

I tried and did my best.

It was not always good enough and sometimes it could make me worse and make me psychotic so I need to isolate to get myself together .

I learnt how to jog as Anders showed me.
I attended gyms but did get paranoid and quit.

I did some short courses .

I paid for my own education and got a aged care certificate that took me two years to get but unfortunately I can not work .

I did try my best.

My bro n sis in Australia :australia: I think their parents paid over thirty thousand each for their education.

My aged care certificate cost me two thousand that I had saved.

I traveled even when psychotic.
It did not feel good but I coped somehow.

I somehow managed to clean and wash and manage home life with shopping , etc

I saved my sacred neigher from the doggers and gave her good things.

I moved interstate all by myself and later moved my holy neigh here too.

I endured dinners with people even though I did usually leave early and suffer.

I learnt how to knit the basic stitch.
(My intellect is not so good cause symptoms)

I learnt how to crewchetti slippers.

I quit alcohol and cigarettes.

My neigh and I overcame obstacles despite fear etc
We crossed scary bridges and tractors and learnt to ride on new roads.
I whipped her gently but also spoke encouragingly to her and praised her.

My neigh and I did ground work .

I became a ozi citizen.:australia::two_hearts:

I made nice dinners and baking for some.

I made four ugly but wearable jumpers.

I made some ugly hats and gave as gifts.

I paid for my boyfriends petrol so he could afford to drive interstate for our first date.

My boyfriends mum taught me how to preserve fruit.

I sewed a pretty ugly dress all by myself.
I used material from a second hand shop.

I think I have improved myself inside and out.

I am a better girlfriend than I ever was before and binge drinking and schizophrenia may of ruined relationships before but now I am older and sober and have changed myself for the better.

People can improve and change.

We plan on spending the rest of our lives together and maybe we could marry even.

I learnt how to catch .
Anders used to throw catch with me but I was never as good as I am now and my boyfriend says I am a good catch now and that he is a great thrower. :slight_smile:

I got my drivers license.
It took me aaaaages to get and so much money spent on lessons.
I cried and felt retarded and the voices were saying they would make sure I never get my license.

But I did.
I got my license and car.

I managed to save money such as for my dog I had to get a passport and have her teeth filed etc

And for aged care course and other things…

I held strikt diets for a while.

I bought some nice gifts for loved ones.

I believe I do good even though it may not be with my body and person.

I did a little work with my body and person.

I assist my man and am proud to be able to do so.

I shoveled barrows this year and did very well and pleased my man when he saw it.

I made some blankets and gave as gifts.

I survived ovarian cancer.

I am proud of housework I do such as dishes , compost etc

I planted a avocado tree and other trees too.

I mowed a lawn by hand in the Bush home up steep hills with sweat dripping down my body.

I drove interstate somewhat psychotic with out air conditioning through dresert land with hot sun on me.
My boyfriend drove infront with walki talki directing me but I still sobbed.

I got through panick etc

Some other things too but that is a bit of it.

Nope, because I started smoking. I left gaming. So I am not bound to gaming anymore. For that I am into smoking. Gaming would be healthier, just it is too expensive for me right now and I am not willing to play games anymore.

I achieved heaps but i am still idiot.

Yes, many things to levels that still inspire me. I’d never have done them if I had not been scz. I’d never have been more than average at best. I’ve got things going on right now that are very inspiring.
