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

[PinkyStat]

Either recovering my faith and hope in humanity or N/SN/KCN/10mm

I would "fix" my inability to believe in God or to even have spirituality. Individuals who wholeheartedly believe in God's grace are fundamentally ok. To feel the comfort of believing in God the way I did when I was a child surpasses the feeling of a heroin rush by far (coming from an X heroin addict). Belief in God can function as the "secure base" of the psyche, to which an individual can return to in times of need - mental, emotional, physical, or otherwise.

Or I would just, in general, give myself a sense of purpose. Man and his psyche can endure anything if he believes in his purpose.

Or hey, I would get rid of my PMDD (Pre Menstrual Dysphoric Disorder, it's pretty much just bad PMS) which makes me feel like I completely lack free will. Maybe unmedicated bipolar 2 people feel similarly (as my PMDD had been mistakenly diagnosed as Bipolar 2).

 

[Glandular]

I would wish away my chronic degenerative disease. Without it my life would actually be pretty good ...

 

[Pidgeons_Sparrows]

suffering amongst all living beings
life is designed in a way that suffering is its most guaranteed key component
yeah cut that out

 

[277]

eliminate all other humans on the planet

literally impossible for there to be problems then

If I could fix one problem in my life; it would be to get rid of my autism. This disability has caused me nothing but pain and agony my whole life and for practically all of my life I didn't even know I had it. If I had been diagnosed when I was a little, little kid than I would be in a much better place than I am now. My parents refused to get me tested because they didn't believe that girls could have autism. Knowing that I have it has given me closure but at the same time boils my blood because of how easily I could have been treated. If I didn't have autism than most of the problems I have now wouldn't be around. Even now this disability causes me a lot of problems from social awkwardness to sensory overload.

I don't understand why some people are proud of having autism, or any disability, disease, or illness for that matter.

 

[sayire]

narcissist detector and force field to keep them away!

 

[ANTALWOODA]

Peacefully dissappear in a second, that would for sure fix all my problems

 

[Bronzehawkattack]

I would immediately fix my face.
Everything else about me can stay the same, just please make me less of a repulsive-looking person to look at facially.

 

[Shaylla1998]

I would fix the earth by removing all forms of life from it.

 

[blitz]

Erase bpd from my brain.

 

[dyinghopefully]

I would wipe everyone memories about me and make myself disappear completely, thats what i wish if i have some magic.

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 get the same question too. And I never know either, cuz it has to be specific too,

 

[dogtired]

I literally just want my physical health back. I have a bunch of other problems in my life but they'd all be manageable if I had my health

 

[lokabe82]

Geez....this is a hard one as there are so many problems. I guess my mental illness. As for which one, I choose whichever one led me to this point

I would fix myself so that he loves me and stops ignoring me all the time

 

[acerace]

Never having to worry about money so I don't have to worry about losing my apt.

 

[Space Outlaw Bunny]

I wish I had never been sexually abused when I was a child, I wish he had died before I was born
I can deal with years of bullying, autism, mourning the death of my best friend and questioning my gender every few minutes, but being a survivor fucked me up the most, I don't feel like survivor

 

[StolenLife]

I'd wish away the bullying that went on in my primary school, I am horribly traumatised by it to the point of paranoia even though it's been nearly a decade.

 

[memento-mori]

*point at self* "Avada kedavra!"

 

[Celerity]

It's dumb. I know it's dumb and cringe as I type this, but I would accept suffering from all of my continuous mental issues if I could have the woman I love feel the same way about me. The 10,000 ft view of my life would suggest otherwise. I don't know for how much longer I will long for her. Today it has been terrible. Most days, I'm fine.

Regardless, that is what I want most now, and I can't talk myself out of it. I guess this is why people say you "fall" in love or that love makes you crazy. I was already crazy, but this certainly didn't help.

 

[cantthinkofusername]

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

a gun

 

[letmeoff]

The money, resources and medical stability to leave the country and disappear. I feel trapped.

 

[Malfunction]

Existence. Reverse that shit.

 

[Anonymousa]

if I was to fix something that isn't just my life by ending it then I guess just my want for human closeness and connection. If I didn't have that then I am not at risk of needing to be with anyone and so won't be hurt my them and everyone else won't be at risk of me hurting them.

 

[eggsausagerice]

i would wish for fat stacks of cash and a car. and a babe in the car

 

[kopebaldy]

My existence.

Poof, I was never born, happy family, happy society.

 

[darksouls]

I would make all of humanity disappear
myself included

 

[PrincessSaturn]

This is probably a really boring answer: my anxiety. I really would love to know what life would be like if I could quiet the noise and nervous voices in my head. It's better than it's ever been in my life, but I still really hate the fact that I feel I have to walk around eggshells with myself just to avoid an episode.

 

[Grog]

My neuroticism. I overthink all the time. I just want to shut my brain off.
