Yes it does and did! What dreams? Bipolar crushed all of mine!

I don't think it ever prevented me from doing anything because I never really had any goals or dreams. But this damned illness did prevent me from going to school and getting a pilots license. Not a lot to ask out of life is it? But NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO...that would be too much fun in Deanna's life wouldn't it now? Don't want her to be happy, heaven forbid. Certainly no good times here.
Umm...err...ooops.....sorry.

I've always wanted to be a nurse and unfortunately Bipolar has so far kept me from doing that. However, bipolar has in a way brought me something that I never in my wildest dreams imagined. If it wasn't for bipolar I never would've met dobie and experienced true love. So thank you bipolar for that.

....shucks.
....smooch!

Long-term goals are pretty much out the window for me. I'm on day to day.

Burp...get a room.

Ok Jstreet and Dobie---This is for real!!! I am one not with all the marbles right now. So I don't know if it's BS or not.
If it is, what the hell, Congratulations.

Haven't been around long enough to see who's who or what's what.

Anyway back to the original question. Yes, Bipolar has totally messed up dreams, goals, everything I had my mind and heart set own. I'm hoping that I can still achieve going back to college. We'll just wait and see what the mood is tomorrow. oh, not tomorrow, in a few minutes.

some 24 years ago, I stood in the saddling paddock at one of the most stately, elegant race courses in the world. My dream was born that day to work my way into where I currently work. I battled. I went in and out of hospitals. I kept battling. I lost jobs. I alienated people. I kept battling. Now I am here, and soon I will say goodbye to it all because my brain just has too many holes in it to do this job any more. But at least I made it. I don't know which is sadder ... having a dream and not being able to reach it, or achieving that dream and having bipolar steal it away.

Yes spunky and everyone else that may not know. dobiedots is moving back to MI with me. It is true.

grats :-)

It is? I am?

MY DREAM WAS TO HAVE MY OWN BUISSNESS AND MAKE IT GROW TO A VERY PROFITABLE CONCERN I SET UP MY OWN HOUSE REMOVALS BUISS AFTER 6 YEARS OF MAKING PLANS SETTING GOALS I CAN NO LONGER DO THIS AS THE bp JUST GETS IN THE WAY AND DESTROYS ALL I HAVE BUILT UP I KEEP REBUILDING AFTER EVERY EPISODE BUT ITS DRAINING ME AND I FEEL I CAN NOLONGER CONTINUE YES IT HAS DESTROYED MY DREAMS AND EVERYTHING ELSE IN MY LIFE.

Yes, I believe that's the plan.

Congrats on you two's relationship. I've been with my husband for 6 years but only been married for a year.

I'll have to learn a Michigan accent, won't I? Where do I go for that?
