I have torched my career a few times
Not sure at this point I have another round in me
My current job is the best I can do

There’s nothing wrong with realism when schizophrenia is concerned, I respect that something are just not worth stressing over becuase at the end of the day, life is only so long and it’s difficult enough dealing with the symptoms of an illness of this nature

I still have ambitions to chase despite the illness. I want to live abroad and change my career.

The only thing I’m missing is independence.
I’d like to have a career of my own.. and be able to absorb new information/learn new things..
It’s not easy for me though.
I can’t even read or follow directions well.
Edit:
I really wanted a career or license in something before having kids. That didn’t happen.
Things change I suppose.

My dreams were so ridiculous that chasing them wouldn’t have made any difference. I haven’t given up on making life better but i dont think i will ever be successful if I dont get lucky in some creative pursuit.
I know its not allowed but the munk I follow talks about not being busy all the time and to just be content….I doubt I can achieve this but its probably the best for a sz like myself to not get to hopful about success and dreams.

It’s all good. You’re allowed to be struggling. You’re in the right place.

My dreams were/are ridiculous too. A large part of me thinks and doesn’t want to accept that it’s actually the grandiosity part of the illness
Which leaves me conflicted about what to do a lot because i think to myself as long as i try ill be fine
But lets be real, we need more support from employment/society’s structure for employment and disability affected individuals - the UK has excellent potential (for example) but employers and general public don’t want to adhere nor know of it
