rebeccaborderline Posted September 27, 2008 Report Share Posted September 27, 2008 When I was 13, I realised I wanted to be an astronaut, a poet (preferably alive), and breed German Shepherds.The fact I still find these rational, desirable ambitions is probably part of the problem!Rebecca (aged 43 and 3/4)I studied history instead and had a meltdown in the second year. Now i can't go back to college because i've defaulted on my student loan.I started my 1st degree aged 32, mid-1990's. Thats also when I got v ill, next 10 years in and out of hosp, obviously dropped out with major debts; they quickly became CCJ's.Now, Ive paid of my (10 year old!) Student loan debt, even though on benefits; and last year completed my 1st year of an OU degree. Im 43, may never be able to use my degree because of age and/or health; but I don't effing care any more; its for me, to prove I can do it, even if it takes until I'm 80.

sunshine_bear Posted September 27, 2008 Report Share Posted September 27, 2008 I have been thinking about this post since I last posted on here. And I think that I have come to the conclusion, that if this didn't happen and that didn't happen then I wouldn't be mentally ill. But been mentally ill meant I met my soulmate, my fiance. Without both of us been ill we wouldn't have known each other and I can't imagine life without him. If I wasn't ill I wouldn't be living hundreds of miles from home and I wouldn't be getting married and talking about children. Yeah I might have got my career but I don't think i would have been very good as during my training I drew on my own experiances of been mentally ill to empathise and understand my patients. All in all I guess what I am trying to say is, my life is turbulant and I struggle a lot but I have alot of good stuff in my life I wouldn't have if I wasn't ill.Natx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrippleAndStarfish Posted September 27, 2008 Report Share Posted September 27, 2008 Though, an idea i would like to put forward...Have you considered the possibility of having a capital 'c' also? Like this --- ObeCity ?Just a thought. I think it would maybe be nice. Cause then you could have it all grand over the main entrance.. and you'd have an excuse for having TWO overblown fancy capital letters instead of just the one. Only trying to be helpful.Crip x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sundries Posted September 27, 2008 Report Share Posted September 27, 2008 I think ObeCity would be fantastic. Could you also have a naturist beach? we always wandred round naked and i miss it.I would never marry a very obese person though cos it limits so many sexual positions. think i would also find it hard to marry a slim person who was willing to marry very obese me, cos then they wouldnt have my values. so, if i want marriage the only thing to do is get ack to being overweight rather than17stone (though i do carry it well being perfectly proprortioned :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairy Posted September 27, 2008 Report Share Posted September 27, 2008 Thanks guys this idea is growing again, as you don't seem to find it too offensive! I think ObeCity is brilliant with the capital "C". Oh, I am going to be thinking about this marvellous plan again now.It started out because I also thought we are all getting fatter. More and more people can't fit in cinema seats and plane seats. So, I thought my customer base would grow as obesity does!Maybe one day! :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
x-Bliss-x Posted October 2, 2008 Report Share Posted October 2, 2008 Well currently I'm a veterinary nurse but not working due to the illness. I may have to give up my job after having studied for 2 years and passed all but one practical exam. I was too ill to take it - but eventually I wanted to work in a zoo with big cats.x-Bliss-x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pynn Posted October 2, 2008 Report Share Posted October 2, 2008 If I could, I'd follow my dream and study Psychology at the University of Amsterdam. It's just too much for me atm. I can't deal with the pressure. I'd have to quit not even halfway through the first year, I'm sure.After that, I don't know what I'd do... That's something I wanted to find out while studying, I'd specialize in a specific 'part' of psychology... Once I get myself sorted out and feel I'm strong enough, I WILL do this.

BimoUK Posted December 22, 2010 Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 I once considered being a Police Officer but I know too much of the job would affect me in many bad ways. At the moment I'm still trying to be an author, though my self-doubt means I'll probably never even finish my manuscript, let alone submit it to a publisher. If I'd never suffered from MH issues I'd probably have done okay at school, gone to University and be currently working in the IT industry.

lonelyheartemma Posted December 23, 2010 Report Share Posted December 23, 2010 I'd be a hairdresser but i hope i'm going to be one anyway if i wasnt depressed i probably would have done my nvq when i was 16-18 instead of 19-21 or maybe gone straight to work. it would have been nice to do 6th form like my sister but you needed like BBBCC in your gcses and i hated school anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dixierebels Posted December 24, 2010 Report Share Posted December 24, 2010 I always wanted to be an author or work with animals as well. I would still love to write a book but you know, lack of confidence/ motivation, probably never get round to it. The other thing I used to dream about was owning a little shop where I could make and sell my own clothes. I’m hoping this one might come true, since I’m doing fashion and textiles at college. But owning a shop would mean having to go in everyday without fail. I think I’d find that really hard. If I didn’t have mh problems. I probably would have gone to study English at uni and then write my own novel series. Also. To Fairy and Crippie. I do that all the time too. I get what I think are awesome masterplans and get really excited about them until someone points out that they are offensive or physically impossible.
