for me i want to continue on with my music career that still has not really got off the ground yet.
also i am working on my spirituality too.
but as far as my health, i hope that gets better as well.
from what i have seen for the most part on doing online research on schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder is that it is for life, and although sometimes the symptoms go into remission and it seems like a person has made a full recovery it always returns or a relapse occurs. do you guys agree with that or have you seen otherwise or experienced something otherwise?
i feel like i do pretty good accepting my life for what it is even though i do have goals and aspirations to be something better and do better in the world. however with limitations it can be very daunting.
Re: Spirituality: I used to be into all kinds of woo woo, like astrology, magic, psychic phenomenon when I was a kid. At some point the mystery got sucked out of reality. It’s not like I actually know anything, I just stopped believing in crap. Not sure why, just a random thought that sprung to mind.
I’m pretty fortunate all things considered, for the moment.
I used to want to be a published author, but that’s an empty dream without a book you want to write. You ought to have something worth doing, not something worth being. Pursuing that whole thing became an exercise in futility because I was uninspired and had nothing exciting or interesting to impart.
Right now, I’d settle for moving out of a negative environment and getting gainful employment, getting myself in gear before life takes a left turn.
i really dig that @Coldcomfort because i wrote a novelette several months ago and only made like 10 bucks off my sales it was about Jediism. but to your point, i think that recently my views have been focused on trying to be something instead of doing something worthy. i will take some time to meditate on this more.
I want to have a full-time job in business, maybe as a financial analyst again, CFO, or head of HR. Something like that.
I want to save up for retirement so that we can actually have a decent retirement and take vacations and things.
I want to buy a cute little townhouse. Nothing fancy. I like the community I’m in now. It is safe, pretty, well maintained. I could see myself staying here.
I want my kids to always call me each week, live nearby, visit and come over for dinner every so often, let me visit with my grandchildren on a regular basis, and always have the holidays together with all of us- as a family.
I have both short term and long term goals. I can’t keep long term goals too well so it is the short term goals which are important. Right now that goal is to finish day treatment, start a job and try to make it the first month, buy and pay off my car, loose weight, see friends, keep attending support group. Long term I would like to visit another country by myself, save enough to do a coding program and become a front end programmer, eventually get an MBA and move into a higher responsibility role. But those goals can change. I don’t wanna think ahead too much because I have to put all my energy on the present to make life work.
well, i want to be a psychiatrist. its a very long road but i should be starting the slow trek towards becoming one pretty soon with college. its my dream and passion.
i also want the typical things like stability, love, maybe children some day, etc
To be able to play the piano or keyboard at performance level.
To own my own online business and be successful at it
To be a part time busker (street musician)
To live in a nice place somewhere near downtown and on the bus line
To remain single and celibate
@noahide I think it’s great you wrote a novelette. Even though it made only a little money at least you did it. The next one you write might appeal to more audiences
I would like to go to work again as a programmer. Either in security or in games or both. I think working on an MMO on security would be very interesting But I’m not sure they want an older programmer who has been out of work for a while and has a broken brain…
my music is in almost all the online music stores, just search for ‘slickease’ that is my older stuff, none of the music ive been working on for my record label has not been published
