It could be anything, doesnt have to be a financial accomplishment it could be very personal, I hear most people with bipolar have big plans, I certainly do.

I for example would love to not just travel the world, but live around the world, maybe even work. I may go to Belize and live there for a year. Then maybe I go to Poland, Africa, morocco. Learn to live like every one else in different parts of the world. I would go hitch hiking or travel by foot to different cities. Learn to live in the woods and survive off the land

But having a two year old daughter would make this plan unrealistic or irresponsible until I am about 38 At least I will have my life back when im still 'young'

What are some things YOU would want to do.

I like you ideas, they are much like my own. My work has taken me all over. Many places warrant another go! But there are also many places on my list! I would love to be able to have the means to travel all over while I am young enough to enjoy it.

I also want to learn to speak Spanish better.
Thanks for this!

For me, the biggest thing I want to do before I die is visit Japan. Just to visit, meet the people, see the sights..I can't really explain it, but when I see photos, videos and everything else of the Japanese lifestyle, I get a weird sense of longing..It would be a dream come true to be able to see Japan with my own eyes.

I want a child, more than anything. Obviously not right now (I'm still 19 and not exactly in a good place) but eventually.

It's so difficult though. I'm a gay male and even though my long-term boyfriend also wants a child, he wants one of his own; he doesn't want to adopt. I'm probably going to have a lot of judgement silently thrown at me for this but it's what I want.

It'd also be nice to get a boring office job, a mortgage and a home and die peacefully in my sleep at old age, before my partner does.

Never going to get that though. Any of it :'(

Make a name for myself...

I'd really, really like to be a published author. Have my name on a lot of books, y'know. Just, in general, leave my mark on the world.

I want to hit up every continent (except Antarctica). I want to travel to all the different places in Europe. I want to go to the Amazon rainforest. I want to travel to a few different spots in the USA. I want to actually go and visit all the other provinces in Canada.

I want a house. I want to have my own house, that I love, that I can do what I please with.

I would love to not spend my life alone. I can only hope for this as it's not exactly something you can make happen.

Resident Bipolar, no judgement. I think that's great.

I'd really like to live somewhere out of the states. I put so much pressure on myself about traveling (or lack there of), that I need to just put that dream on the shelf for now.

I want my children to grow up knowing that they are loved unconditionally. If that is the only thing that i accomplish in my life, i will consider it a great success.

i don't want much, just to be able to look back and know that i did something worth while, something that i'd be remembered 4. even something small like getting top marks on a quiz, or something. something in my life to go right, if you like.... it's all i ask- not really much.

One steady stream within my ever changing bipolar list of dreams is to become a famous artist. I'd like that.

That's an awesome plan, it's mine too. I'm in a marriage get judged for sometimes too and it child seemed impossible but trying another in vitro next year. Here's to getting what we want - your dream is perfect!

I have a rather large list also. I want to finally learn guitar.
I want to draw and possibly paint.
I want and will soon see The Hank Williams Museum and his old home and his grave.
I want my oldest daughter to be okay and "normal" in my eyes and in her's.
I would love to own a bar. Nothing fancy. Sawdust floors and a juke box. Couple of tables with room to dance. A pool table and a long bar with comfortable stools.
No menu. Just beer, whiskey, water and sodas, pretzels and nuts..
Not too much...lol

I want to be stable enough to finish a degree and walk across the stage like I promised my grandfather I would do.I never expected BP to make it this hard.
