Discussion If you could choose anything, what would it be?

[2Min2Midnight]

I would opt out of being born in the first place.

Not to be born is what I'm after as well. Seems that's where the problems start. Merry Christmas

 

[Hotsackage]

Death

 

[TimeToBiteTheDust]

Going back to 2012 and erasing my mistakes.

Same but 2014. Before that year I was happy without knowing it. Then all went to shit. The more I think the more I want to die. Everything is so fucked up.

Second best choice for me, but only after june 30th :')

If I could choose anything I'd choose to go to my ideal Heaven.

 

[Nemeshisu]

I would choose nothing, as nothing really would make me happy. I know that being person who I am, I would still end up messing my life somehow no matter how diffrent it would have been.

But if you could choose anything - even erasing your memories or waking up happy, wouldn't you want that?

 

[PeaceisallIwishfor]

To be 5 again and restart knowing all the mistakes I made

 

[ghostwannabe]

I think I would just choose to never be born. Maybe a stupid answer but all my problems stem from childhood trauma and I was never and will never be normal no matter what I do. So I guess the only real option now is to CTB.

Ah, Sorry. It was kinda my first impulse to answer nothing. Now thinking about it, I would choose to be born as a cat instead of being a human. I only find human life unbearable. I think that as a cat I would be quite happy.

 

[Chronicillness]

I just want this ear ringing to stop. Nothing else. Take my money, take my house and memory, take my job and family, but give me silence back.

I identify with this problem. I have horrific tinnitus. Last night, my apartment complex got the power cut off for a few hours in the middle of the night. It became so quiet in my apartment that you could hear a feather fly through the air. I have to CONSTANTLY have some sort of background noise to drown out the 24/7 tinnitus. Last night when the power went off my tinnitus was magnified. It was pure torture. It was like I had a a fire alarm in my ears. Pure hell.

 

[Sensei]

I would choose that no one here would have a reason to be suicidal. It probably sounds incredibly cheesy, but I really mean it.

That would be nice for most!

When I was trying to think of something I realized there wasn't anything to help me--it would either be never being born, or being dead (the cause of my problems started around age 2-3, eliminate those, and I couldn't have been born, anything else would wipe probably 10+ current adults from the world right now)

 

[LMLN]

To have my husband back!

 

[Not_Quite_Dead_Yet]

Good physical health. With that, I could handle whatever needed to be handled.

 

[uglybean18]

I'd choose to go back in time to when I was 9 or 10, with the full knowledge that I am trans, what that means and how unbearable life will end up being if I don't do anything about it. If I could just live my tween and teen years again without having to go through male puberty I would be fine. I'd be going to uni right now. I'd have a life.

Instead, my body is damaged beyond repair. I can't afford surgery to fix the things that surgery can fix and I never will. I have an abusive mother who forces me to go to a college course that I can barely handle doing. I know I'm going to fail the course soon and I'll get kicked out of the house. I'm hoping this will happen soon enough so I can simply sit out in the cold and let myself freeze to death.

To know happiness

Go back to last year and stay in my ideal job and home. Keep going... I was finally doing well and made dumb impulsive life changing decision.

On December 15, 2010 I had a surgery that simultaneously saved my life and ended it. It left me mutilated, and I can't come to terms with that. I would go back and never have that surgery, and I would probably undo every medical decision I made that entire year. I'd probably be long dead now, but that's better than this.

 

[FullyUnplugged]

I would go back and fix mistakes. I have a loving family and had a ton of opportunity's others did not. That's half of my depression knowing I have had most things people only dreamed of and still managed to fuck it up.

 

[Egddios]

To be put under anesthesia and not wake up.

That's how I'd ideally like to go out but the reality is, I'll be drinking SN or hanging.

Welcome to the forum! I think this is the exact same thing I'd go back to change myself.

 

[terry_a_davis]

I'd rewind my life 20 years with the knowledge that i learned by making mistakes. I'd be more considerate of others, less selfish, and not get addicted to drugs.

 

[56709]

to never exist.
it's like the ship of theseus.
it's impossible to retain my identity or the laws of the universe/world that give my identity its meaning and and yet change something crucial enough to make things right... so it's better if the entire thing is erased from top to bottom. I just want this faulty code to be erased as it has no place.

Health.
For me at least, everything else is do-able.

 

[HereToday]

I'd choose to go back and do it all again, knowing what I know now. I wouldn't waste time on capitalist bullshit (University, work, etc) and would just move to South America where I'd volunteer until I died of old age.

 

[deafsilence]

Death.
