Giving in to aunty pressure. I wanted to stay on at school and signed all the forms I had to sign. They insisted I would just be wasting everyone's time and energy as there wasn't a hope I was intelligent enough to make it through the year and pass any exams the teachers were foolish enough to enter me for.
I would find caring for my mother (who had just had a massive stroke) a much more appropriate task. so, after fighting and getting nowhere, I gave in, told the poor bemused teacher I'd changed my mind and started a life of trying to catch up by going to college.
However, I did in deed look after Mam (who went on to have a ... few more strokes) and then Dad (who contracted Parkinsons when I was about 19) so the studies suffered ... I remember doing Russian homework whilst taking Dad to visit Mam in hospital. I fell asleep in A level French (I was going to be an interpreter at the UN - I thought) more than once thanks to having to attend the course, six hours of homework a week - and all the housework, caring on top. I don't begrudge doing it, I would do it again but the biggest mistake of my life was capitulating to an aunt who thought I was stupid and useless.

I have made many I even stress out about things that seem so hard.
I think my biggest mistake would be to slack off. I am generally a determined person who doesn't accept no for an answer but when things continually don't go the way I planed them I start to despair.

Any day I waste.
Any time I don't love.
Any time I don't encourage those around me.
Any time I think I am more important than anyone else.
Any time I waste on Yahoo Answers.
Any time I react instead of being pro active.
Any time I bid on something on eBay I really don't need
Watching, Love at first sight, Simply Irresistible, The Lake house.
Any time I thought I wasn't good enough for someone or something.
Any time I said things that were hurtful.
Any time I have eaten sweets.
Any time I have worried or been anxious.
Any time I lose focus of the true precious things in life.

Lying to myself. Telling myself that I am satisfied with my life right now. Knowing that I could change things and not actually following through or having the courage to change them. Packing my things, but never leaving. Knowing that I am headed in the wrong direction, but not being able to look away like I am watching this car crash that is called my life.

I'd say it was not seriously thinking about what to do at college (thinking it would be easy - I was more interested in the whole university life), screwing the exams up and as a result, spending the rest of my life doing cr@ply paid jobs.

biggest mistake when I was in hospital after a manic-depressive episode and I listened to staff say that life would get better

Not learning a trade when i was 18. My mum told me too and I ignored her. I admitted to her recently that I wish i listened to her back then. I could be coining it in as a pluber or an electrician now.
