I was interested in film production or special FX. Maybe computer animation.

At least space tourism is almost possible, whether it will be affordable in our lifetime is another thing!

Actress

When I was in 6th grade, I wanted to work as one of the Z100 announcers in my area. I also wanted to be a star on All That.

With autism and Gender Identity Disorder and six out of ten personality disorders. After only working minimum wage jobs and getting fired. With only an AS in Accounting and BA in Cognitive science. With clinical depression.

It would appall me if anyone ever makes the mistake of hiring my worthless corpse ever again

Not realistic, practical or functional

But everyone makes mistakes

But California is an "at will" employer

Maybe I ought to push shopping cart and collect bottles for recycling

Or just loitering and panhandling

Schoolteachers, counselors ask what do you :mrgreen: want :cry: to be (when you grow up)

:cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

But you have to be practical

Even after all that energy wasted in college

What a nightmare

And getting into college

My precious lil "parents" made me memorize ten to twenty SAT words per day, in the summer, between third and seventh grade. And ten to twenty SAT words per week in the school year. Third and seventh grade.

With the exception of nine months Chinese school, six months clarinet, and six months swim lessons. No. Extracurricular activities

Theory of Multiple Intelligence

Seven intelligences

Actually maybe all that studying and cramming made me more socially withdrawn and thus clinically depressed

Maybe the studying made me even :cry: academically :cry: stupider :heart:

Although you can't do a controlled experiment

And if you could, then what

Feel discouraged, useless, rejected, ashamed, stupid, embarrassed, humiliated, fat, worthless, profoundly disturbed, hateful, bitter angry

So I am a :skull: failure :idea:

And I am not good at anything. Minor exaggeration

And I do not :idea: particularly :evil: like anything or anyone

Not even myself

Especially not myself

I feel so ashamed

I feel like I am not justified at existing, because I contribute positively goods and services to the world. At least, not enough to justify my immoral existence

Not only that

But job or no job, I do not know what to do myself

Almost everyone, including myself, is annoying, to me



:cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

The current counselor marked "psychomotor retardation" and "paucity of content" on the insurance form

I can't work at even the easiest job. Many jobs fired me

I can't have precious lil "friends". They dumped and ghosted me

Everything I know how to do, (almost) everyone else also can do

And my personality is so weird and strange nobody will hire me

And not only that I do not even have :cry: hobbies :D


Just loitering and panhandling


:cry:

Sign :skull: flipper :skull:

The world has almost nothing positive to offer me

And I have almost nothing to offer the world

I think it was between a policewoman (which I decided against because I knew too many people who people describe as 'dodgy characters' growing up on my estate), a nurse - so I could help sock people to get better, or a solider - so I could protect our country.

Failed the army medical when I was about 16/17 because of my mental health history that had been going on all my life.

Never became a nurse because I've never been able to learn key subjects like maths to qualify. Was really good at it up to a certain age then couldn't understand any of it once the algebra stuff came in and division. The two symbols was enough to confuse me! I still don't get it to this day!

I became a support worker in the end and worked with other adults who had mental health or ld's.
Loved the job, ended up running my own independent service that was a massive success.
I'm not working now - gave up a year ago. I have fibromyalgia now as well as the difficulties with my mental health. Just always been diagnosed with anxiety and depression but I need to know why now x
