is there any quick way to achieve my goal in life?
because of my age 31 , i fear time is going to run out..
my goals in life at nearly 31 are still to : get a decent job in IT computers , then to move abroad, leave england forever to somewhere hot and coastal l - its my biggest goal, i wont give it up or adjust it.
but iam at so many disadvantages and im starting out later in life, ive physicaly aged in my face prematurly.
because of a hard misfortunate life, ive missed out on the normal things people take for granted :
building relationships , being employed , getting qualifications , living a life , learning developmental social skills. have a criminal past 8 years ago, been in a mental hospital 8 years ago -
missed out on all of it.
i know i have to be determined to be positive, strong and work through what has to be worked on but….damn….i dont want to be here in england…
i just feel overwhelmed with everything and worry my happiness and life goals will never happen……feel like im way left behind everybody else, have a lot of catching up to do, worry time will run out because im now nearly 31 .
ive aged prematurely in my face , im bald with shaved head, look every year of my age.
im waiting for reconstructive surgery operations on my ankle because i completely torn the ligament in an accident year ago , its very weak, it can easily give way, have to watch how i walk — im on the waitin list , and after, will be in plaster for 6 weeks on crutches , i live on the 3rd floor in my apartment so i feel really immobilised and debilitated with it.
i have borderline personalty and post traumatic stress, bad anxiety, agoraphobia, difficulty in controlling rage and aggression, but i have great insight, im aware i have problems , and ive been seeking help for myself for years now , since i had this apartment 4 years ago..
they dont have the treatment i want in my area because of funding and lack of resources, i asked for psychotherapy. so im having to roll with what there offering : an occupational therapist to help me re integrate back into society, go places with me, get me involved , because ive been reclusive most my adult life..
because of my disadvantages- and the way i feel left behind in life –
i have a deep fear ill be trapped in this situation for the rest of my life , in a lonely apartment on benefits, being looked after by the government , at the mercy of the system, cutt off , lonely isolated , old - surrounded by yobish, antisocial teenagers, because of the crumbling society in uk..
i stress, i really do not want to be here in the uk, i seriously want to emigrate move abroad , somewhere hot, attain a job in IT…….i seriously feel trapped here.

Listen, I’m in your same boat in the US, I’m 27, I at least went to schools, finished college, and settled down and have some money so I don’t need to worry much,but I never really worked too much, and I’ve aged a bit or at least started to, and I feel like my life is going to be harder and over, I have to depend on the system too,…and our society here is crumbling as well, believe me; the US is NO better; I had to live by myself too. I also tried therapy, but…that hasn’t helped much;but you really shouldln’t give up. 31 is NOTHING, it’s NOT OLD anymore. At all. Not at all! At least in America it’s not that old, and beileve me, America is a VERY age-ist society. You’re still considered relatively young, and you can still do things. I have anxiety/panic attacks, anger issues, depression issues, I have suicidal tendencies, I’ve had alchol/drug problems, anti social,
I’ve dealt with people trying to destroy me/bad people,
I’ve dealt with it all, and honestly,…at the age of 27 I feel done and ready to throw in the towel but honestly you can’t and the only reason you’re not is because you know there’s still a chance, or a way, but you just don’t know how to yet.
I’m not a magic God and I don’t know what else to tell you, but just realize that there are other people out there like you who feel disillusioned by society, and feel like life has treated them pretty poorly.

I don’t know much about your situation, but if you are depressed I can recommend a good book called "overcoming depression" by Gilbert.
