This is taking off the Dreams that Died Because of BP Disorder post.

Most of us have lost our dreams to BP Disorder.

What are your new goals in life?

I know I will never set the world on fire, but my goal is to be as kind and caring to others and to be there for my family and friends whenever they need me.

I may even write a book someday about my life. I started one a while ago, but then just left it, so my goal is to probably work on it and finish it to help others who suffer from BP Disorder and other illnesses.

Hard question. I use to have huge goals. I was almost done with my masters in addiction counseling and international bus. mgt. I dropped those dreams. I worked as a regional manager for GM and I gave that up. I sunk myself into my art, writing, and poetry. Gave those up. I tend to have a pattern of giving things up. I would love however to have a positive impact on peoples lives. I want to help them, I want to make a difference if only for one person.
Thanks for this!

MY goals were lost 6 years ago when I decided I was not good enough for this world.

MY new goal which I try to do as much as possible is raise awareness for mental health, and the Stigma it carries

Well getting stable mentally and financially would be the first thing.

Then I'd like to do my graduate school and become a T specializing in Addictions and Mental Health.

Be the best mom and wife I can.

Be healthier.

Make a difference.

My goal is to fight my disease, and not let it whip me, continue my work as a social worker helping others, and be a good wife and parent.

My goals in life are to get myself back into the workforce and to not be afraid of judgment by other human beings. To be able to go back to higher education and meet someone who will accept me for who I am not what I am!!!
Thanks for this!

Immediately my goal is to be a good mother to my son. On a grander scale it's simply to love God. He did give me all good things, including my son, after all.

Not meaning to derail the thread into a religious or anti religious diatribe...

I don't really have any now. I don't want to become homeless. Maybe that counts.

If my safety net disappears (aka my mother), then I'll have to exit myself sharpish before I can get removed from our house by the council. That'll be ok though. My dad and brother died here too.

I don't see a future. Kind of hard to have dreams, then. Thinking like this makes me feel so terribly sad when my mood is anything approaching normal, but it's not negotiable.

I just wish I could be safe, but nothing is.
