Discussion If you had a magic wand that could fix one problem, what would it be?

[socio]

Every single time I get asked this question by my psychiatrists and therapists, I have absolutely no idea what to say. It's like I'm being put on the spot I can't lie. For me, it'd probably be giving me a genuine, unique reason to live. Not growing up and get a job, have a family, etc. I want a unique reason. Or, save me from my Anorexia Nervosa. But at the same time, nothing matters to me anymore. What about you guys?

i would fix my brain injury, left shoulder from distlocating, damaged stomach lining, decayed teeth, tinnitus,schizophrenia

 

[bluebird16]

I would make my tinnitus disappear. Being able to have complete silence in my head would make all of the other problems easier to deal with.

 

[pthnrdnojvsc]

I have a magic potion in my hand that will fix all my problems instantly and forever. It starts with the letter N.

I call it the elixir of eternal bliss.

One drink = non-existence forever

All the problems began for me when they birthed me into this evil world as a fragile small animal that can suffer unbearable unending pain

After death is non-existence forever

 

[MrDarkness]

Put my mind at ease, that's all I want tbh, or make me feel loved

 

[90starve]

this is such a hard question - there are so many things that could improve my quality of life, but honestly, i think i'd just wish for an instant death.

 

[whywere]

My 24/7 chronic pain from a nasty car crash, car crash not my fault, just wrong place at wrong time.

A fulfilling task that gives my life a reason again (job/work I like to do), money, feeling of being successful again, being needed again, all this belongs together somehow as 1 wish.

Or that. By having N I wouldn't have to consider drowning since it's the only method I have.

 

[savoytruffle]

my poverty. nothing else matters but money. It's 99.9% of my problems. money means stability means having a chance to fix everything wrong with my brain.

 

[leavingsoon99]

If I had this option, I would just make a painless, guaranteed suicide. I want to die. I'm GOING to kill myself. For me, life isn't worth it. At all.

 

[FuneralCry]

Having the option of a peaceful suicide method would solve everything for me, in fact it would solve what I see as being the true problem which is existence in itself as the reality is that without existence there are no problems, death erases everything for us, it's the permanent relief from all suffering.

 

[alonely]

loneliness

 

[ikadasui]

Ethnicity

 

[Klophy]

That's a tough one. I could cheat a little and say my childhood, lots of crap to fix there.


Only one thing though? Probably money. Having to not worry about gaining money, while being financially well off, that would be nice. Nothing would really be fixed, it'll just become a little easier.

 

[Nephis]

I would wish the world a better place than how I left it, I'm no visionary, I'm no genius, I'm no leader, but that is my one true wish, for everyone on this site to achieve happiness wherever it may be and so I wish the world a much better place where they themselves could find that.

~For all of you, I wish, starry nights and blue skies

 

[outrider567]

Nothing can be fixed

 

[chahan.trading]

removing all the people

 

[Lumina]

I kept thinking for some time what I'd fix.. probably my social anxiety... I imagine that would help a lot, of all the problems I have this is the one I hate the most and has held me back in life so much and caused me to become a complete mess

 

[S like suicide]

To have a completly different life surrounded by a lot of people that love me and ready to help me when i need it.

 

[Peerless_Cucumber]

Being born and growing up in the body of the opposite sex would alleviate so many problems of mine. It's insane.

 

[EndJstifiesTheMeans]

Being born, i dont know why i have to be alive in the first place

 

[Dead Meat]

To get rid of all my health problems

 

[sometimes.sometimes]

My jealousy problems which are intense and constant to the point it makes my mental state worse than usual

 

[enough of this]

I would use it to restore the right side of my face and mouth. My mouth got mutilated almost 6 years ago by a dentist who was on drugs. Fortunately, as a result of my, and several other people's letters to the dental board, he was investigated and surrendered his license to avoid having it revoked. He's now retired (if he's still alive). A cosmetic procedure helped somewhat with the appearance, but it didn't help it feel any better. I need a bit more cosmetic work. The disfigurement resulted from extensive nerve damage. THAT'S what feels bad - that and the scar tissue filling my cheek. The sick feeling I've gotten from this since the time of the injury (Oct, 2, 2017) is, alone, enough to lead me to CTB.

 

[Huggs]

Good question. If I actually got this chance my first impulse would be to wish I never experienced nor will ever experience any form of consciousness. But I'd like to think I'd get stuck on it trying to think like a lawyer maybe on something like letting conscious people and animals and so on choose their experience or maybe to give a simple way to alleviate suffering universally…like a magic button. I don't know.
A philosopher could probably come up with something cool.

 

[alexit]

I would make my tinnitus disappear. Being able to have complete silence in my head would make all of the other problems easier to deal with.

I had finally fixed my life. But I just can't with this tinnitus….

 

[suicidalloser]

final kismet
need a budget to make even one as simple as a 2d platformer

 

[leloyon]

Be reborn as a Japanese girl in either 1970 or 1990, so my teenage years would be in either 1980s or 2000s.
If that is impossible, I would wish for a 10mm pistol and a box of 10mm Auto JHP.

 

[ToTheTwillight]

The aspergers. I am probably more high functioning and successful with people than most people who have it, but fuck you have to mask yourself and work so hard all the time, even if the girl wants to kiss, you just have to muster so much effort to be in the moment that it ruins it. It leads to failure socially and professionally, you are never priority for people on who they want to be with, just fucking sucks.
