I feel so trapped by my mi with the constant need of medications and doctors appointments etc. I was free I would go running through the forests like a wolf. If I couldnt do it physically I would do it in my head. Just run and run and run....

Good one @Exoplanet 🙂
A big group hug for @Bunniekins .
If I was free I've always wanted to hire a boat and go surfing through indonesia. I'd be happy doing it around Oz TBH. Probably a bit long in the tooth for it now, but, i still dream of it from time to time. A lady i used to work with lives on a houseboat and sails round all over the place, I'd love to live like that to.

Great thread @Bunniekins!
If I was free from my challenges mental health wise, I’d be working and travelling. On Monday the seventh of October my favourite singer did a fan only gig in London. I was gutted I couldn’t go. If I was free I would’ve been there in a heartbeat!

I wonder how much the antipsychotics dull my thinking. If I was free I'd be off meds and working and travelling Oz. How amazing

Hi @Former-Member, what kind of work would you like to do? Anywhere particular in Australia?
I would like. Northern territory I think.

I'd like to see WA. NT would be great too. Work would be whatever helps me to travel I guess.
