dwarvenranger Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 (edited) but the meds turned me into a functional-zombie, and talking about it to a "therapist" isn't all it's cracked up to be. You ain't kidding. Every time I talk with the psych, I feel worse afterwards. Edited December 4, 2014 by dwarvenranger 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ub3r_n3rd Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Question 27: What personal accomplishment of yours are you most proud of (kids don't count)? Being married to the same wonderful woman for 10 years now and still going strong. I know a lot of marriages don't last very long, we've had our ups and downs like most other couples, but that's quite an accomplishment to me. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pcktlnt Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 @question 27, being the first in my family to earn a Masters. Went with the subject field I enjoyed and found easiest, mathematics. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorallineAlgae Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Question 27: What personal accomplishment of yours are you most proud of (kids don't count)? I managed to come up with a reef aquarium filtration system years before it became part of the industry standard. I setup a reef tank for a shop that worked amazingly well and started to experiment with it at home. That led to lots of other opportunities including being hired to design and help build a complete reef aquarium shop. It was a lot of fun. My user name represents my love for that hobby. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qwyksilver Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 My proudest personal accomplishment: Graduating college, more importantly though, walking in the ceremony. I was able to find a way to go to a very good private college (after paying my student loans, I sort of wish I went the state school route) despite being told by one parent I would never be able to go to college. Thankfully my mother told me to get accepted, and we would figure out a way to pay for it. It took me longer than 4 years, but I became the first person in my family to get a college degree. I left college several credits short in 1997, but never gave up, and finished my work, and walked at the same school in 2003. I promised my mom she would see me walk and receive my diploma, since she was the one that helped me get there. So even though I didn't know a single other student in that graduating class, and I was older than a couple of the professors, I still walked. My mom deserved to see it. I am currently working on my Masters in Special Education, with plans for a Masters in General Curriculum, and one in Administration. Somewhere in there I will also have to get certified to teach English as a Second Language. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasonator Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Question 27: What personal accomplishment of yours are you most proud of (kids don't count)? Oh Dear, Ummm.. I'll nutshell this as best as I can. I grew up in an Orphanage, so at the right age, hey kid.. there's the door. I have managed to acquire more than four degrees, I was a Computer Scientist, and a Reverend at the same time, and when all is said and done; I think I have managed to be a loving and caring person, even if it is all self taught ! 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lars Porsenna Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Question 27: What personal accomplishment of yours are you most proud of (kids don't count)? I don't have too much drama in my life growing up, so nothing dramatic like "relearning to walk" or anything like that. Probably graduating college, which was a struggle for a long time. Not knowing what I wanted to do with my life (still don't, that never changes, right?), not knowing what I wanted from college, and especially not knowing what I wanted from myself, just the fact I graduated was a big accomplishment. The day I walked down the aisle and received my sheepskin was a surreal event for me... Damon. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flamehawke Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 @Dsmiles I understand that feeling about therapists. I actually refused to speak to the one I was being forced to go to to deal with my issues. Finally they told my nana that forcing me to come was useless as I refused to speak on the matters that she was making me go for. To be fair. Question 26: I would change my trust issues. I trust people only after knowing them for a long while. Beforehand I tend to be wary waiting for them to lash out and hurt me. It all ties back to the reasons I was being forced to go to a therapist by my nana. Question 27: I am proud of being able to make friends in real life. I seriously find it amazing. Even more amazing to me is I have learned to trust men enough to make friends with them as until about 3 yrs ago I only made friends with other women. So I am proud of coming to a point where I can make friends with people who are around me. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vil-hatarn Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 I think it would have to be earning my black belt in Taekwondo. It was about ten years ago now, and was basically my first major accomplishment of any sort (technically, I'd also finished my Eagle Scout requirements several months prior, but the ceremony hadn't happened yet). Over the years, I've drifted away from Taekwondo--I left for college before testing for second degree, and at this point haven't practiced in a few years--but the process of earning that belt had a major influence on who I am today and my continuing study of martial arts. These days, I study Aikido, which is far more suited to someone of my stature and weight! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiniest rhombus Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 What would I change about myself? The insomnia. I would like a good nights sleep without meds. Turn the part of my brain that constantly rambles from one thought to the next with no signs of stopping off for a good 8 hrs of uninterrupted sleep. Biggest accomplishment? My marriage. I have to admit, we are pretty dang awesome together. We'll celebrate our 16th anniversary in May. We are just as madly in love as the day we finally admitted we were madly in love 18 years ago. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mad Jack Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Biggest accomplishment? Having survived being me for 42 years. Hell, I dunno, there isn't a whole hell of a lot that I've done that hasn't been done a billion times before by others who did it better. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
