>What would make your life great and worthwhile?
Better health and intellect, the ability to pursue my hobbies

 

[Stormy Raine]

I'm sorry to hear that, it must be really hard and that's valid. Sending hugs

Thank you

 

[endless_pain]

Embracing discipline, being less distracted toward my potential goals, creating meaningful connections through therapy and live the life as it is meant to be lived.

If all my wishes came true and all the struggles came to an end.. I would be living on my own, away from my parents. I wouldn't have to interact with them. I'd be healthy -- eat enough and sleep enough and get up at an appropriate time in the morning and go to sleep at a reasonable time. I'd have graduated with my degree, maybe even landed a job in my field without worry. I would have enough energy to get through the day. I'd have my drive and motivation back, my cognition and ability to sit down and focus for hours and hours. I'd be so happy if my brain just worked properly again. I'd be able to accomplish whatever I want. I wouldn't have these stupid nightmares, I wouldn't have flashbacks and these terrible thoughts. I would live with my boyfriend. We're long-distance right now. I would spend my time creating things. Maybe any cool apps I have ideas for. I'd do lots of knitting and sewing. And progress as a photographer. I would love to have a darkroom. Basically, I would be able to do whatever I want, without these mental and physical limits. I just want to be normal again.

My answer would be pretty much identical, just different hobbies

If I could sit again for an hour, that would make life worth living. Right now I lie horizontally 99% of the time. I can take a few steps and sit a few minutes a day.

But if I could sit long enough in an electric wheelchair, I could go out, go to a shop, go to the park… my life would have some quality again.

Cool! What are your hobbies?

 

[BruhXDDDDD]

The power to fix what I find wrong with this world would be enough for me. My mental state would be much better if I knew that no fucked up shit that I can't do anything about is happening to other people.

 

[Madao]

All I require is a BUNCH of money, so that I don't have to worry about making money and be able to fund my hobbies and travels freely. Unfortunately money is everything in this world

 

[𖣴 nadia 𖣴]

Cool! What are your hobbies?

Nothing interesting or creative, just things like swimming, dancing, cycling, badminton, reading

 

[cogmachine]

money and visa to be with beloved until the end of time. not having to worry about wage-slaving, staying at home or traveling seems ideal.

Great success in what I like to do, a lot of pets, a partner who's also my best friend and will also be there for me, a community to regard me high and a home to go back. Basically, it's the "ideal" life. I genuinely am envious of people who achieve their dreams in their life. I've came to accept that this dream of mine is simply just a delusion I made up to cope. Maybe it would come true, but the chance of it failing scares me

 

[AloeGarten]

for all my mental illnesses/anxiety to be cured, and enough money for me to never work again. it would have to be both of these, one or the other would certainly improve things but wouldnt make me truly happy unless i had both. another wish is for every other human on earth to dissappear, i like the sound of being able to roam an empty earth and never have to deal with people or society again

 

[Tortured_empath]

Wow, it's a great question

 

[Arachno]

If my scoliosis, OCD and ADHD dissapeared and my intellect and social skills got a lot better, my life would be great, but sadly, that will never become true and until I CTB I will remain an insecure moron with horrible social skills who has his brain infested with OCD and ADHD and has a fucked up spine.

 

[watchdog]

I want my dogs back.

 

[unsaiddes]

In an ideal world I'd have a supportive, solid friend group, a family who respects me, a job that I find fun and helps other people, I'd look completely different, and our society wouldn't be a total collapsing nightmare. I think that would make my life worth living.

 

[StolenLife]

Maybe if i had a well paying job, a safe place to live and if I stopped thinking so much about my trauma things could be different.

 

[starlover]

I had lots of ambitions as a younger man. They all fell apart, and now I work as a cashier.

I am a social person. I have no (in-person) friends of my own, haven't made any in years. And I've tried.

My body fails me (or I failed it). It's just taken away my last true passion and scores of little ones. My main passion, a former source of great pleasure, now causes literal pain.

I guess I want to be a successful, social butterfly, with the ability to do all of the things I like to do. But I am the exact opposite; trapped in customer service, friendless, unable to find even little moments pleasurable anymore thanks to my body. A trophy husband, all smiles and nothing behind the eyes. Sitting at home alone with the pet until I need to go to work or be paraded at my husband's many work events. Even some of my college friends "accidentally" called me a loser.

I like to imagine that when I die I will be taken to the world I was meant to go to, and be allowed to thrive and be happy. That I'll have respect, and close friends, and we'll go on great adventures together, and I won't have to sit at home alone watching the world go by outside my window, wondering desperately where I went wrong and why I'm so cursed.

Being pain-free and completely healthy in body and mind. I've never been healthy and its prevented me from working (and therefore earning my own money and being independent, and doing things I'd like to have done and experienced). Not working and earning and having my own money has made me be dependent on others, which makes me feel like a useless parasite and leech and I hate it, just as much as I hate all the years of physical suffering and doctors and pain and surgeries and medications (that never really help).

There are many more things I know would contribute to making my life worthwhile...but I've come to conclude that good health, a strong and dependable body, and strong and stable mind, and a life without pain would be like living on another planet or something to me because I have never remotely experienced a life like that.

Its all Ive hoped and wished for for over 50 yyrs, to be healthy and strong and pain free. Its all I want(ed). I've given up on the hope now at my age

 

[miu]

i wish i could live a life not knowing trauma in my mind or body. that has always been my lense when navigating through this world and everything has gone to shit because of that, but.. i don't know how to function otherwise.

 

[NambaSutra]

I'd like to feel sane and not be carrying around so much anger and resentment.

 

[noxu77]

letting people see a different perspective they aren't born with that is what would make me happy

A young GigaChad body with optimal health and a couple million dollars.

[Duality]

It sounds shallow, but if I had a lot of money to never have to work again I feel like I'd be all right. Plus if I ever feel really depressed I could have money to splurge on whatever I want to distract myself. A spontaneous road trip, a big buffet, whatever.

Money doesn't fix everything but it makes things so much easier.

Yeah fair

 

[skybluesuicide]

a close best friend. they don't treat me like I'm disposable and ignore me when they get bored of me, and I don't have to take 5 minutes to form a response because I'm so comfortable with them.

 

[crimsonpool]

money. honestly that's it cuz i could move out. maybe a boyfriend too. other than that nothing really, its kinda bleak & i dont think id want to exist even if my life was better.it doesn't seem worth it to me

 

[Zegers]

Afterlife

 

[lofticries]

Money and lots of it.

 

[unrest]

im living alone in my own apartment, continue taking college classes, i can trust myself to keep my head afloat, im able to repay my family, working, doing therapy.

 

[Sleepycat]

Being able to travel back in time to 6th grade. The knowledge I have now. Avoid certain people and places, start working different than I did, basically change most decisions I've ever made. That may not make it better but it probably would.
