I also need to pursue goals based on my passions. It's a detailed formula, but it's worth it.
I hear ya. I'm trying to concentrate on doing something positive with the disorder. I write some pretty good music, if not depressing, but I think it's good nonetheless. Whether it's 'appreciated' by the normal society is another story.. but I think true musicians and artists could appreciate it.
