Depends on our goals?
I have learned there’s no guarantees that I will get what I want. I thought I got what I wanted but ended up worse off than I started,

Can you elaborate, from your posts I know you are more positive than that and have encouraged me just from reading your posts to move on with my life. Did you have, or have some goals that you still kind of wanted to achieve?
Oh, I thought I had gained confidence about 5 years ago but not only did I not get it but I am less confident than any other point in my life. People will drive you crazy if they get the urge, they just don’t care.
But you’re right, I have to just move on and get on with my life.

I am sorry to hear this. I am at a point where I am gaining confidence in the rest of my life, even at 52 years. It does seem like people don’t realize they are ruining it, and will on their own agenda. You have A point. The urge, I also believe it or not even refer to my father who always seems to not care about my confidence in my life now or for the rest of it. There are so many things going on now that we are not supposed to discuss on this form ( which makes it safer for me also) that are driving me crazy.

I achieved the goals i thought are normal. Some certificates and around 15 years of workhistory. I think that is a great achievement for me with disability.

Ain’t that the truth! They say I went too far. I WANTED TO MAKE THEM STOP!!! They just mindlessly go on, and they’re not going to get anything good from me until they come clean.
I’m trying to be happy with what I have.
But I hate feeling unstable.

I just wish my thirst would be satisfied. I’m not going to complain though so all is pretty good.
I’m content with what I have. Don’t need to be rich or prosperous just enjoy life. It does get boring if you don’t work.

There are certain things everyone is supposed to get, like the right to be left alone if they want to be, among other things. They’re basic, primal rights. I get less money than anyone at our facility, but I still am able to donate significant amounts of money to charity. I might have to take a break from donating what I usually donate, because the way I’m reading the signs, I might need a little money to stay safe. I might need to stay in a cheap motel while I am coming off my med’s. It would probably be better to take a very expensive ride in a taxi than to risk hitchhiking. I might need to take a bus somewhere.
I occasionally get what I want. More often I tend to get what I need.

People help me get what I need, but when it comes to getting what I want I am on my own.

I am in my fifty’s and am just starting to grasp the concept. It sometimes seems like a new found comradery with people.

That was totally either a purposeful rolling stones reference or an accidental one. I can’t decide which.

When I do something on purpose, it’s usually by accident.

I kind of thought of Prince lyrics from my post.
Spoken Intro]
[Dearly beloved
We are gathered here today
To get through this thing called “life”]
[Electric word, life
It means forever and that’s a mighty long time
But I’m here to tell you there’s something else
The afterworld]
[A world of never ending happiness
You can always see the sun, day or night]
[So when you call up that shrink in Beverly Hills
You know the one, Dr. Everything’ll-Be-Alright
Instead of asking him how much of your time is left
Ask him how much of your mind, babe]
['Cause in this life
Things are much harder than in the afterworld
In this life
You’re on your own
[And if de-elevator tries to bring you down]
[Go crazy (Punch a higher floor)]
