What do you want to do with your life

What are your goals (long and short)? Do you want a family, and if yes what does it look like ideally? Where do you want to live? What do you want for your career? Do you have atypical priorities, and if so what are they?

I have no goals anymore since sz. I just sit around doing nothing for the most part. Sz killed all my motivation.

Sounds depressing but it’s the truth. Maybe in a couple years I’ll change my mind and get motivated to do something with my life but as of right now, I have zero desire. I use to work 2 jobs…had my own house. I have no desire to start over.

Same for me, I have 0 energy. I will continue living with my parents then with one of my brothers. I cant work or go out of the house but I can order groceries online or restaurant food etc

I wish I had kids when I was younger, it’s too late for me now. But I do have five nieces and nephews and a Goddaughter who I love.

As far as my career, that ended when I broke my neck and got a head injury. If I were to aim for another career, it would either be as a veterinarian or a trauma therapist.

I have found home sweet home. I have two and a half acres, with a log cabin and a duck pond in the backyard. I love it here, and never want to move again

Not sure what you mean by atypical goals. I do want to regain some of the skill level on guitar, when I was in my prime as a musician. The spirit be willing, but the flesh be weak LOL

I have the family and now I have an adult kid. Hoping to slide comfortably into retirement with my wife in a decade or so. Her aging parents are sabotaging that right now. Parents get old and break, but I was hoping that it wouldn’t be as much of a mess as it has turned out to be. Getting through this is my short-term goal. Professionally I want to stay in insurance until I retire. Too old to change careers again.

I’m at the epitome of my life, I think. I’m 61, no spouse, kids, grandkids, or inlaws. Yes I am completely and totally free and it’s blissful.

I just want to be as kind as I can be and enjoy my children and grandchildren. I have no motivation to achieve anything else.

I have stopped working since I got schizophrenia.
I am lucky to live in a country where you get paid even if you don’t work (small amount but you can manage to make both ends meet if you’re careful about your grocery shopping and do not spend in leisure)
I do not want to be in a couple nor do I want kids.
To me, only your family and friends matter.
when you’re in a couple you have to cope with your bf/gf’s problem and make concessions.
when you’re single, you’re so free! also kids bring problems. well that’s my opinion !

I want to work with my hands, and I want to be a mom and focus mostly on family. I used to have a fancy corporate job, but it isn’t for me.

Be careful what you wish for, the industry isn’t what it used to be. I abandoned doing both. I’m sure brides are nice people on the days they’re not getting married, but it’s pretty much the worst day of their lives to have to deal with them. Or their even more wretched mothers. I’m no longer willing to.

Why was this flagged?
Stop flagging harmless things people. It’s small, petty and ugly. She wasn’t preaching. She just made a harmless statement.

I want to start a career as a diplomot or government advisor

I will be starting a degree course in International Relations in September 2020

I just hope I have the motivation and drive to sustain the course long term. In the past I’ve had very good jobs but not able to sustain more than a coupld of weeks

I want to find the right meds to alleviate my symptoms. I am still up all night hearing things at times. I want to rent out my basement for some extra money. I wouldn’t mind a couple kids someday.
