What are your wishes for 2024?

I hope that all you nice people here get better - one way or the other.
I wish that my family reunites in August, that both kids can study in France and that I get fit again like I was in June this year. Nothing more. Fuck depression, MSD and lacking power. Bye bye to those, Miracles happen. You just have to see them.

I want my cognition back. I want to read books. I will see how I go!

I want my broken heart back in my body instead belonging to someone else. I wish that it happens soon, bringing my creativity into the open again, and that I'm not sad as often or as deeply. I pray in my own way for my offspring to continue to thrive and have love in their lives. Also I pray for the Earth's critters, trees, plants and life to somehow survive the plague of side-effects from humans.

I hope everyone here knows I wish the best for them. I've run out of words now.

I want my peace of mind back and just to live a normal, stable life, like everyone else. To not worry about dumb things like money as soon as I wake up.

Info: I want to change some things before New Year. I am offline, walking for 4 or 5 days on the pilgrim way to Santiago de Compostela to get rid of some of my internal devils. Hitting the road this afternoon. See you 2024. Survivorist out.

- New remote job, with decent pay
- If possible, move abroad

With you there! Also wanting to improve that. I'm reading manga (comics) currently a lot more than books - I feel that if I have to visualize less - I can maintain focus easily and when that focus sometimes drops it's easier to re-engage with the content. It made me fall in love with "light" reading. I can think actively and fantasize about what's on the next page with manga.

I don't mind lingering on a manga/comic book page and see all the details & drawings. When I read a sci-fi book for example and having to constantly go from text to the mind's eye (visualization) - I get upset or disappointed that I can't always manage to do that. So that's my wish too, to get a better sense of flow for this.

More movies with friends are planned too! I really can't wait for Dune Part 2 and a lot more. Fun times up ahead!

I want to find meds that actually work for me--I've been on and off a bunch of different meds since about 2018 and I just can't find anything that significantly helps with my anxiety/depression (other than Adderall for my ADHD which happens to also help with my other issues, but I haven't been able to get my prescription renewed since there's been a nationwide shortage for the past year). I hope I finally get some answers for why I've been having chronic pain/fatigue since last year, and that it gets better, not worse. I hope my mental health doesn't get as bad in 2024 as it got this year, and that I can stay clean from self-harm. I hope I can make friends and not feel so alone/socially anxious all the time. I think it would maybe be nice to start going on dates, but my mental health has been so all over the place that I don't really think I should count on that too much.

@Citizen Insane. It is very frustrating, not being able to focus long enough to settle down with a good book. Growing up and when I had BPD I could read for several hours, but now with the schizophrenia, my cognition is nuked.

I also love going to the movies and Dune 2 is the movie I most look forward to next year!

For myself,
I wish for better financial health
I wish to find the minimum level of medication to keep me relatively sane
I wish to be able to accept whatever that level is, even with side-effects and trade-offs

For my birth family,
continued health and sanity

For my SF family
strength, hope, love, patience, understanding

peace
