originalnutter Posted February 27, 2011 Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 My main ambition in life is to be successful, with a mental illness this is so difficult, I need to know if anybody out there has a successful job, family or hobby? I need some inspiration, sitting in this house has killed my social skills, my communication skills and my ability to cope with stress. Anyone?

manja Posted February 27, 2011 Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 i guess it depends on what your definition of successful is. but i guess you could say that i have a successful job. Edit: 'I consider myself to be successful as I have done quite well for myself against a really shitty upbringing, and a really traumatic time. it could have the other way, but i tried to make the best of myself despite the circumstances. whether this is successful by some people's standards i really don't care. i'm happy with how i've done.

lucyloo Posted February 27, 2011 Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 It is achievable for some, I had an income of £50k per annum, working 25 hours a week, from a business I built with no capital! If my family had been behaving differently, I would have doubled that, with another 6 months effort, I have also had some amazing jobs that would have taken me into the professions, again, if my home life had been different. I intent to do it now, before I am 50! My mum has issues and she had a good job for years! L x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
addy2 Posted February 27, 2011 Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 Hi, the family bit i can do and studying a course i can do with a great deal of effort, i guess we can all aim higher and hope for better. Sometimes i am greatly motivated and aim high other days just getting up is a success. I hope you can achieve some of you want.xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Narcissa Posted February 27, 2011 Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 The mass majority of people in this world aren't 'upper class'. Don't be misguided in thinking that that is the perfect life. I would rather be a hard worker than subjugate good people in order to achieve high social status and wealth. I'll be doing a degree, hopefully. If I can afford it now they've screwed us over with the student fees. I'm on speaking terms with my family. I don't have one of my own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walker Posted February 27, 2011 Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 tbh this sounds like some sort of wind up surely each and every one of us here is successful we have got this far we are still alive we reach out to others for help we support others when we can we feel like failures endlessly, yet we all achieve things others cannot sorry this has made me intensely angry and as for holding down a family well just exactly how does one 'hold them down'??

Narcissa Posted February 27, 2011 Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 The masses will destroy you all. It's already happening in the middle east. And it'll spread. It's already spreading to the western world. The imperialists and fascists cannot win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
originalnutter Posted February 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 Holding down a family - its the way I talk and by that i mean have wife and children and lead a normal life. I think alot of people here put a negative spin on your circumstances, most of you are quite successful but you fail to realise it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roses Posted February 27, 2011 Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 I would leave this thread people. Sounds like a wind up or someone with very distorted moral and social issues going on. Success is only measured by the relative status of those around you. Don't get caught up in status bullshit x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

originalnutter Posted February 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 I was defining success in terms of money, obviously you can be successful in other stuff but my primary question was about money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Divsky Posted February 27, 2011 Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 Life shouldnt be purely about money, I would consider having a loving family and friends who care to be more valuable than any amount of cash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
originalnutter Posted February 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 It was a simple question, you all act like im trying to wind you up. it wasn't your QUESTION that was the problem. you're more than entitled to your opinion on what success means for you but jeez could you not think for one micro second about how you make people feel!!!! That is true and i did not think about this. Now I realise, I can only apologise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
