I had to settle for much less life quality due to sz.
I had no choice.

I had hopes and dreams. Now I just feel “out of the game”. But I’m 52 now. You’re still quite young @Joker . Don’t throw in the towel yet.

I still have hopes and dreams, but they don’t include an overachieving career.
I’m fine with that.

I’ve been disappointed and upset with how my life turned out but things slowly got better like I finally got on the right meds and I moved into a house and my dad remarried and my stepmom drives us wherever we need to go. My dad can’t drive because he had a stroke and I’m too nervous to drive. I’ll never have a good job and will have to keep getting SSI every month but I’m ok with that. I’m fine with doing Assertive Community Treatment and staying home a lot watching TV. It’s not a normal life but it’s good enough for me.
I never really had hopes and dreams. I guess everyone does but I wouldn’t think of any dream I had as more than an irrational fantasy. At times I entertained the idea of being a writer or lawyer or professor and other things but the reality of those things is certainly mundane, stressful and a lot of work. The only dream I have that persists is writer and winning the lotto. But the kind of writer I want to be is just as possible as winning the lottery and sz has nothing to do with the chances of either
Am I on the path I expected to be on at this point? No. Am I on a path I enjoy? Yeah, pretty much. Has the journey been worthwhile so far? Yes. The good parts have cancelled out the bad parts and then some. Life happens - you just gotta roll with it when it doesn’t happen the way you were counting on it to.

Not strong ones. I vaguely want to change my life somehow for the better. I still wouldn’t mind having a friend. I’m not going to change the world or make the world a better place but I have hope still that things will get better for me personally.
I no longer have hopes and dreams.
Well, all I wanted was a peaceful life with a good job family and friends — I hate how I feel and think though, and I have learned to love my living situation, it’s a sad existence but I am drug free, make rent and most of my symptoms aren’t so bad with pills
However I look for reasons not to complain and I am aware of my stoicism
The stark reality of it all is that most people are truly unhappy with at least a few aspects in life, and the key to happiness is love, what ever that may be to you

Sometimes… life never worked out as I expected, part of did, but large parts not. Am still in recovery from my past and honestly it interferes with my life. I wish the past begone. Good riddance, but sometimes it rears and have to face it again while all I want is to move forward.

I’m pretty happy where I’m at so I don’t get too upset about that stuff. Getting caught up in my ideas about how things should be gets me caught in an ego trap of thinking I know everything. I’m okay where I am. That’s all I can know.
