I guess for me, a perfect world would be that no one feels despair to the point that something drastic happens. No one would suffer from addiction. Everyone would have good mental health and would have easy access to care if they started to feel off balance. Everything would be 'green' (environmentally healthy). Everyone would co-exist in harmony.

A perfect life for me would mean I had control over my illness. I don't even say I wouldn't have the illness because to be honest I've learned a lot about mental illness and about myself through this process. I would be able to do my job with ease like I used to. I'd have the money to get the treatment I need. I'd be able to have a family... husband and kids. I would be able to FEEL..... anything, good or bad doesn't matter just that I could experience emotion.

This was a question I had been thinking about for a while. I thought I would post it because I learn a lot from your experiences and wanted to see everyone's perspectives. Thanks!!!
