I wrote a letter to myself for when I am in doubt and asked this question, and I thought I'd ask PC the same question to see your responses:

How did you overcome your obstacles in order to pursue your dreams?

I worked hard in therapy to break cycles of abuse and sought further help (medication) when needed.

I didn't.....they got the best of me during my formative years.

Since I was a late diagnosis, I'm just trying to stay balanced.

@fishin_fool no one should ever stop chasing their dreams...and nothing is out of reach!

@Row_Jimmy You will be maintaining balance for the rest of your life, just like me... That is how mental illness works. I was diagnosed 5 years ago and I am still trying to recover...but that has not stopped me from pursuing work and bettering myself as a human being...It is never too late to follow your dreams! Unless you want to be the President of the United States...I think you'd be overqualified compared to our upcoming choices.

I am unable to give up, I just can't .

I just sit back and regroup and find a new approach.
