To be happy. Depression is hell.
Walking again would be nice.
To be born a woman but since that’s not possible it would be that my transition works fast and well.
To go back to sleep for another few hours
To be calm. I’m in a constant state of panic. I don’t know what to do because the pills aren’t really working… I have awfully bad anxiety.
I hope this doesn’t come across as patronizing but have you tried vipassana or a similar style of meditation? My wife had really severe anxiety and she found this to be the thing that helped her the most.
A work-life balance honestly. I’ve been working 12s every day this year and I’m missing out on my hobbies and my family. Financially I’m fine, but I’m gearing up for an early retirement so I don’t know if I can slow down now. So hard to make time for things I actually enjoy now. Basically just want to hit that balance so I have a fulfilling life.
Without knowing the background: that sounds very dangerous. What’s the point of early retirement if you’re completely worn out?
Well a lot of the time those 12 hr shifts are involuntary. I work in a manufacturing plant and they basically dictate your life. Shiftwork is killer too
To not have to work another day in my life. Sure I could say to be excessively wealthy but I’m happy with satisfying basic needs and living in my simple home. All I want is to be able to wake up every day without the crushing burden of having to keep a job that keeps the spectre of starvation and homelessness away for another few days.
