I had dreams for my life then I got sick at 16 and my full-time job, my carrer if you will, became and always will be (no retirement from this) managing my illnesses.
Memories of behavior and distress before atypical meds came out are causing shame and rage. I guess I'm having a pity party.

 -so nice to see you posting again. Try not to be discouraged, luckily you're still young. How is therapy going for the OCD?

I think I understand about dreams being shattered by mental illness(es).
I'm so sorry for what you went and are still going through. I really hope "getting better" is soon to be reached for you... (((((((((Berries)))))))))

I'm glad to see you as well, Berries.
I often feel similar. I had so many dreams. I actually found myself weeping the other night because of some plants in my garden dying for no reason I can determine. I realized that my life has nothing to look forward to; my greatest accomplishment is growing some vegetables... . I am sorry you are feeling this way.

I think it's okay to have a pity party once in a while.

For what it's worth, I think that you manage everything you've been dealt with great courage. You must, to have been doing it since your teens. That takes some mighty strength! Sometimes we need to have that pity party every once in a while; it gives us a bit of a breather from putting on a brave face, eh? So glad to see your post, despite the circumstances. Missed you around here! Sending gentle hugs and good vibes your way.

The fact that you havent given up, I think, is worthy of admiration

Oops I assumed you were younger but it's not old IMO. It's not over till it's over. People continue to improve themselves even past senior status. Too bad you have to wait so long for the OCD therapist.  It's okay to have a pity party once in a while.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
