I would have definitely gone to university to study, maybe become a professional astronomer - that was my serious hobby before the sz struck at the end of high school. On a more everyday level, if I didnāt have sz, I would be an excellent housewife with a pristine house, and work at the library and write books and articles and paint and ā¦ all the things I want to do now, but donāt have the energy to get out of bed for.

well i donāt actually have sz but have suffered some of the symptoms of it. there are many things i would do if i could. my first loves were writing and singing and acting so i guess i wouldāve done something in that vein. i still write, i warble round the house and still write poetry but itās not enough for me. i am soooo bored itās unreal. when i was younger i also loved horses but thatās gone now, i miss that butthe last time i rode i was petrified and it was horridā¦hmmmmm maybe i should go againā¦kick that fear into touch. i definitely need to finish my writings. they could be good stories. not bothered if they donāt make any money. just finishing one would be cool. i also want to learn more about computers, maybe do coding. that i can do right now as there are free courses on the internet for anyone whoās interested. also would like to do a dress making course. i have a sewing machine just donāt know how to use it. think iāll do all these things a little at a time. donāt care how long it takes me, iāll get around to them all bit by bit. just because you have problems with m.i. doesnāt mean that you canāt achieve at least some of your dreams. look at pixel, rowan amethyst, surprised j, caroline, etc. they all go to college or have their own businesses. why not me? why not you?

something better than what iām currently doing, which is basically nothing.
Iād be working as an R.N., which is what I was doing before I got hospitalized for the first time. There, they discovered I had sz. I had to tell my charge nurse that I was in the hospital, and she wanted a note from my inpatient doctor. When she found out that I was admitted for suicidal ideation, she freaked out and told the state board of nursing. This was in the stone age, before the Americanās With Disabilityās Act. It was the year 1993. The board of nursing ordered a psychiatric evaluation on me, and of course, that revealed my illness. That was enough for the board of nursing to rescind my license, effectively for good. I have never been able to get a job in nursing since. Which is just as well, because my pdoc tells me that nursing is much too stressful for me. And it was!!!
I wanted to become a simultaneous interpreter at the UN. Decided to become a flamenco guitarist which of course I couldnāt do.
