I think my biggest accomplishment was probably graduating high school with an A average and being accepted into The University of Toronto. However I started having mental health problems first year while living on residence and I eventually had to drop out of school because I was diagnosed with schizophrenia. I feel like not getting my degree is my biggest failure.

I wouldn’t call it a failure, just an unfortunate turn of events

Thanks @Cragger I tell myself it wasn’t my fault but it still bothers me sometimes.

I know what you mean. When I had my nervous breakdown, I was doing martial arts and doing really well recovering from an accident. But then the insurance screwed me, and I had a breakdown. I still blame myself for breaking somehow, like I should have been stronger

Id agree, just surviving with all this is a feat in itself.

I got social phobia, and it totally screwed up my soccer career in high school. I was only at like 10 percent out on the field.
I think living by myself in a studio for 6 years was a good accomplishment. I worked most of the time I was there, started online classes and took care of myself and my cat. I made friends with some neighbors but had big problems with others.
Just generally working the majority of the time since I was 23 is a big accomplishment. I’m 60 now and still holding a job.
One accomplishment was that when I unloaded trucks for a living in my 30’s and I was one of the top workers on our crew. I worked there four years and for about two years solid there was only one other guy who might have been as good as me or better. I was getting compliments on my work almost daily from my boss, the salespeople and the customers.
And actually I’ve been at my current janitor job for ten years and that’s an accomplishment.
And finally, IDK if this counts but since I became schizophrenic I’ve had a few friendships that lasted more than 5 years.

My brother took his life at 17 yrs old which devastated my mom. It was the worst days of our lives. I dont want my mom to have any more bad days so my biggest accomplishment was checking in to the hospital instead of taking my life. Today I understand just how big that was!
