I’ve been trying to work out what, exactly, I want to feel/be to consider myself sufficiently medicated/treated/counselled. What’s my big goal in life re my mental state?

Completely whole and healed sounds good. As mentally able as any other person I know. That sounds wonderful. But I’m told that this is not something I will enjoy in my life.

So, what can I want, what’s a goal I can expect to achieve? I’ve been thinking up a list;

• Able to leave my home without even thinking about it
• Able to make an arrangement with family or friends and know I’ll almost certainly be keeping it
• Able to start a task and finish it
• Able to do housework and keep my home the way I like it, with no side effects
• Able to write my own books and have them published, without excessive anxiety

That seems like a good list. It’s certainly a list of things I can be grateful for working towards achieving on a daily or weekly basis.

be you xx Rachel
