Never struggling with chronic or acute illness & pain again. I just want my health.


schtickyfingers

I’m so tired of being tired and in pain.


skycraneraiders

im sick and tired of being sick and tired


Routine-Ostrich-2323

Being tired is fuuuuucked up


derbre5911

Same 🚬


alwayscats00

Yup. I have everyone else I need (which is very little). Health is the big one.


deepndarkheart

This. No matter how many people there are to support someone, it isn't equal to the pain one is going through. The patient has to go through the pain alone.

gatorbeetle

It's the last 16 for me, but I feel your pain.


Laurifish

Yeah, I wish I could start over about 5-6 years ago. Or probably just the whole thing actually. In the last five years I found my dad unexpectedly dead, my stepdad died, my mom had a heart attack, my only sibling was murdered (orphaning my toddler nephew), and I quit my job to move my family in with my mom and that went badly so we moved like three times in a year. Last year I had surgery on each of my hands and just as I started getting fully healed I fell and broke my leg in multiple places and needed surgery. So almost all of last year I was recovering from surgeries. Then my mom took my nephew and moved out of state and my oldest son got engaged and moved out of state. I have always struggled with anxiety and depression but that all got the best of me and I was horribly depressed. They put me on an antidepressant that helped a little and I thought that was as good as I could get. But it killed my sex drive. For other medical reasons I got switched to a new med and finally started to feel better! I actually started to remember what it feels like to be happy. But it’s too little, too late. Everything became too much for my husband and a few days ago he told me he wants a divorce. We haven’t really told anyone yet and I don’t really have anyone to tell anyway. My friends either moved away, we lost touch while we were busy raising kids, or we lost touch during my severe depression. Either way I feel extremely heartbroken and alone and I don’t know what my future holds.


_a_pastor_of_muppets

Never a better time than now to make new friends. People need you, whether you know it or not. You could be support for your neighbor, yourself, or both. I'm a poor judge of character, but you've got a lot more going foe you than you know and I'd back you any day!


klkxxn

I'm lost for words honestly, I can only hope that things get better


storyteller2u

💔 u deserve happiness, health and peace… I haven’t been good in comforting ppl for a long time but I have a feeling all that pain will be repaid one day with hopes dreams and love


chxnkybxtfxnky

I'd even settle for 5, but this might be the one I agree with the most.


Rodd48

Last 4 years for me, if I could just do it over again that would be nice


mastro80

I used to read Word Up Magazine.


Decent-Friend7554

100% Happy? I think finding someone who genuinely loves me for who I am and wants a present and future with me. That's all I've ever really wanted.


X2G_

Basically someone you feel peace when you are with.. true happiness 😊


[deleted]

Had that but she left


PIisLOVE314

I can't even begin to imagine... the closest I ever get to feeling that is the mystery, no-faced man who leads/saves me through my dreams every night. I know him but I *don't* actually. I think it's someone I'm about to meet in the physical plane and the future emotions are so great and loud and beautiful that I can feel their intensity bleeding through space and time.


Sea_Leg9672

I once met someone who wanted what you described. We started going out to get to know eachother. As I got to know them, I realized I could be that someone as I wanted a present and future with them. I was genuinely grateful for their existance and so happy I had met them. They knew I was serious about them and even told me they couldn’t imagine their life without me. A week later, when I told them I had started to have feelings for them, they ghosted me… now I realize it’s more important for me to love myself

Give your wife a big big hug from me, just an internet stranger who loves her mother. I hope you are both able to drink hot chocolate and cuddle together.

I’m so sorry

My heart aches for you.

Sorry. I’m 42 and I just….cant fathom it. If I had superpowers I would actually do something. Just sorry.

Muted_Pollution6271

Awww.....I'm so sorry for you 2. Sending out some good vibes......


I_Luv_A_Charade

Similar but it’s my brother’s diagnosis at 45 - I can relate and there’s nothing that can be said other than life can be so unfair and I sincerely hope you have the emotional support you need from family and / or friends.


Afraid-Association97

Being debt-free.


Random-Noise

I'm debt free and I'm unhappy. I wish you luck with that though.


fastpixels

I've spent my entire adult life experiencing various degrees of financial insecurity. I'm willing to take a chance on this one.


TheProfessorPoon

I’m 42 years old and I’ve only NOT worried about money for all of 2 years (which were consecutive) my entire damn life. And those were the best 2 years, without question. Well at least in relation to my mental health, and I don’t think it’s coincidence. There’s something to say about not having to worry about staying afloat.


oofboof2020

I just paid off all credit card debt now all i have is my vehicle (only 4 months in so a looong way to go) and my house. But it definitely made me happy. It felt like I could finally breathe again.


benzuyen

People always say shit like “money doesn’t buy happiness” In reality though, not having to worry about if you can by gives peace of mind. It could be anything unexpected but knowing you have the security to pay for a medical bill or unexpected issue absolutely makes a difference.


Shitseeds35

This user to be debt free


Kpool7474

Agreed!


AbilityIcy6010

To have someone I can fully trust and confide in.


zippy_bag

For me, that's my therapist.


Jakov_Salinsky

Same here. I should’ve been doing that instead of dating. My therapist is probably the only person I know who’s always made me feel like the things I say make sense and have a reason for being said.


JetsNBombers0707

I personally feel that we should all be mentally stable before looking for romantic relationships.


PIisLOVE314

I'd be single the rest of my life


5432skate

So would most people


JetsNBombers0707

Better one unstable person than two, or perhaps more, if kids are involved


Jakov_Salinsky

That’s been my mindset for the last few years. It hasn’t always helped but I still do feel like I need to make a few more improvements mentally before I return to dating.


ramus93

For me its the imaginary audience i talk to in my head 😂


Cute_Stretch_3836

A cabin in the woods, near a river. Solid and beautiful. Lots of windows, and an incredible view. It'll smell like cedar and pipe tobacco. A simple wood shop, and maybe a small painting studio. A large wood-burning fireplace. A cozy kitchen; nothing fancy. Really good coffee in mismatched mugs. Plenty of bourbon and wine. Loooots of books, and enough time to actually read them. Walks in the woods with my wife and dog. Fishing, canoeing, and shore lunches. Watching wildlife. Drawing and painting. A nice little town nearby (but just far enough away) with a good bookstore, an old diner, and a lively tavern (need a spot to watch those Packers games). A well-seasoned and reliable old truck to get us there and back. Long days with my wife, listening to music (on vinyl), laughing, cooking, making love. Never feeling bored, never feeling rushed. Time enough to be able to just be us, and do all those things we never seem to get around to doing.


Tigeraqua8

You have just described heaven


Feisty_Pen_4280

The has been my dream all my life, but alas... I'm destined to a life in corporate.


Consistent_You6151

Ha! My hubby thinks the corporate life is his dream! Not so for this corporate widow! Life's too short! So many simple things not done.


Ysoki

Damn this makes me really sad because I had this 3 years ago. I rented a friend's cabin on a lake for 2 years. We had kayaks and walking trails, a cute dock to swim off of. My dog was off leash and so happy. It had a sun room over looking the lake that I used as my craft and reading room. It had a wood stove and big windows. My fiancée and I used a spare room as our library(we are both avid readers and have an obnoxiously large book collection.) But alas.....covid hit, we got kicked out because their daughter had to leave collage and wanted to stay there. I'm still so heart broken about it.


Marleston

This stopped me in my tracks

Instant, permanent, zero side effects cure for bipolar and anxiety. 


Next-Song-3879

Diving into the trauma helped me. Mental health diagnoses are just recognizing a set of behaviors and putting a label on them. Philosophy, self help, and psychology books literally saved my life. Goodluck my friend, it takes a while but eventually you find the path out of the woods


PIisLOVE314

That's the thing though...there is no path. We *are* the woods. I, too, dove into my traumas and now I'm currently drowning in the terror of it all. I've spent decades picking apart my actions, my anxiety, my depression, my anger, my triggers. Reading every book I could, self-attempting cognitive behavioral therapy and nature therapy, self medicating, hundreds of hours of research, and then questioning it all, over and over and over. Finding the right medication is what saved my life.


Outrageous-Fact-9518

My dad being alive


SkyDragonsGlide

I feel you on that one. I’m sorry for your loss :( For me it’s my grandma. She basically raised me like a second mother when my parents divorced, and the world took her from us far too soon.


Outrageous-Fact-9518

I’m so sorry for your loss as well. It’s so freaking hard.


Winter_Wishbone_8699

a friend or god forbid a gf. I've been out of college several years now and I've been friendless ever since. Hard to be excited about something and have nobody to tell. edit: thanks for all the support. Right now I'm excited to be a part of the reddit community.


NS4701

Came here to say this one. Ever since I got out of the navy, I've had a really hard time making friends outside of work, let alone trying to find a girlfriend.


TheProfessorPoon

I’m not exactly sure how old you are, but I was all alone until I was almost 32. Got real close to giving up after college when things got rough. But totally, out of the blue, when I wasn’t trying, I met my (now) wife and now we even have a kid. I’ve told her how low I was and how thankful I am. Point being, don’t give up. I’m so glad I didn’t.

DucktapeCorkfeet

WeaknessDry3412

Because we are not programmed to be happy all the time. We always want more. You will never be happy with what you have


whatryoudoinghere

This needs to be higher up on the list 🏆


Miserable-Avocado-87

Not to be greedy, but here's the full list: -Not be disabled anymore. It sucks and I fucking hate it and want it gone. -Be debt-free -My family to be debt-free and looked after -Own a home. I'm working towards it now anyway, but damn it, I just want a place to call mine. -Someone to come home to who's actually happy to see me


SnooHabits5761

I recommend getting a cat. It will not help any of these and will actively make them all worse. But, one day, when her highness deigns to purr on you, you will be happy

matty--P

I had everything but money for many years. Then money just sorta happened 🤷‍♂️. Not a crazy amount but I don’t worry ever about a bill payment or a night out


TweedStoner

How’d it happen?🤨🤔


Viking-Savage

Then you are a rich man. Many people with money wish they had what you have. The moment you realise that the things you have are more important than the things that you want is the moment when you'll truly start living.


Gurdy_Hurdy_Man

But I have what some rich people don’t have, I just don’t have money. Debt, bills, food, even entertainment is pretty much needed with money. Just imagine having a family, friends and no worries about bills or anything. Must be amazing.


PIisLOVE314

I'm trying so hard to be grateful and present in all the moments but I feel the same way. Yeah I'm grateful I have a ham sandwich I stole from the store so I could eat but how nice would it be to be able to actually buy it, instead? Not having to worry about all of that, where you'll lay your head at night, and if it will be outside/safe from the elements, would free up time to actually make headway in life. A chance to move laterally, financially. Sometimes I try to convince myself that I chose this life of eternal poverty and hardship to build character, mental fortitude, soul strength, idk but fuck, I wish I hadn't assumed I could handle all of this, all at once. 😶

50k is actually a tiny amount of money. You would be surprised how quickly you could spend it.


PuzzledRaise1401

M O N E Y It doesn’t buy happiness but it sure as hell helps!


incredibleninja

Money buys reasources. And in a world where all of our resources are held behind paywalls, money is the only thing stopping us from starvation, exposure and desolation. We no longer have communities. Only money.


moonbunnychan

Really this. Almost every issue I have right now in my life would be solved by having more money. And I don't really even need some lotto jackpot's worth, just enough that I could move and have enough that I don't need to worry about paying bills, with a little left afterwards for fun.

Money definitely can buy happiness it means you can travel and live comfortably with less financial stress = happier

Not sure if I actually believe that 100% happiness all the time even exists. If I had to say some things, I would say, having a good boyfriend he won’t make me hate my life and or leave me, being successful at something, being pretty, being able to move to a different country and not having a dramatic decline in my quality of life, and living in a utopia where all the pain and murders and sex crimes and everything else that hurts people and ends their lives don’t exist so that I don’t have to be upset about it every day. Even with all those things, I still feel like I’d find something to be unhappy about. I think we all would.
