The really embarrassing thing about this is I started my first degree in Psychology in 1994, dropped out and started Biological Sciences in 1995. I managed 18 months of that degree full-time before having to drop out with depression (well actually bipolar but I had no idea at the time). In 1998 I suffered an unimaginable trauma. Since then the longest I have worked full-time in a row was 3.5 years. I achieved success but was robbed of it too as physical illness kept me in bed for several years.

Anyway I finally went back to university in 2013 doing a Photography major from which I subsequently dropped out. Now I am half-way through an English major. The embarrassment is that I have little to no chance of using this degree anyway at my age as everyone employs younger people. So basically this is one big occupational therapy exercise to keep me busy and stimulated while I struggle with Bipolar. If I had the physical capacity I would leave university and go and get myself the best job I could. Unfortunately Fibromyalgia leaves me unable to know when I will have good days and bedridden days. I don't feel sorry for myself. These are just the facts. I have secret goals, which are highly unlikely but possible. I will keep problem solving this.
