I would go for long runs along the beach. I would be able to study psychology and I would train to be a counselor. Then I would be take on a job as a counselor.

I don't know.

Possibly I would be more outgoing and interact with people better. Maybe I would be an athlete. I might also become an advisor to others in need.

[Nicks_Nose]

I would be flying airplanes or jumping out of them.

[worthit]

Going to events where there are a lot of people. Driving at night. Working full time.

[healingme4me]

Not much different, i suppose. No matter, i still have to push through and be their nurturer and provider.

It's tough to say because I've always had poor physical health, so I never had a chance to fully explore that route.

However, if I was mentally well I would probably be working in the entertainment industry. I had a scholarship for animation that I had to let go of after my mental health took a nosedive thanks to some disastrous therapy.

[makayla55]

If I didn't have any mental issues I might spend most of my time helping those with depression and anxiety disorders;

Well maybe a counselor and helping people create an income online cos them I will be able to talk to them.

Physically fit?? I will be an eagle that never faint and doing more outside activities with my family.

I am physically and mentally well.

[Puffyprue]

Climbing all the mountain, do all outdoor sports, walk a lot, belly dancing, boxing ..argh too many stuff

I would get the score I was meant to have on my SATs, a high one, and go to MIT with my 4.0 or near-4.0 GPA and that SAT score.

I would be building human exoskeletons at age 18.

[Nicks_Nose]

I would have a driver's license and be less restricted in where I live and what jobs I can hold.

[SeekerOfLife]

Well.....I would have some face to face friends.
I would go back to college and study psychology to better understand myself and others.
I would take up horse back riding.
I would be more confident and assertive.
I would be more organized, and my home less of a mess.
I would join an exercise club.
And not be such a loner.
And try to help others as best as I can.
(Wish list.....!!!)

I doubt it, but the following may contain mildly trigger stuff, ... nothing serious, just like, ... OCD (intrusive thoughts area) stuff, really.

Good question, ... albeit a little depressing.

I've not really fully decided what I want to do with my life, but one thing seems pretty solid, and that's German; I love the language, (been studying it from home for 4 or so years) like speaking to the people, and am intrigued by the country. I'd like to study German at college, then university, where I would learn to speak it fluently. I would like to be a translator. Think about it, what could be easier than simply doing what comes naturally: "speaking" Sounds like such a nice job to have; bridging the gap between two languages and even cultures. (although I like to think I do a tiny bit of that, already, by helping some people realise that German people can be awesome)

Since I'm pretty good with computers and have been dealing with them (hardware and software) for 11 years or more (well, first got interested in them at primary school, so that was a good few years ago!) I'd say that would be a good career choice, but not one that really gets me all excited, anymore. I used to be really enthusiastic about them, but now it's just a skill I possess but that's it, ... I don't get the same feeling I do when I learn something in German, or figure out something that had previously confused me, in German.

There's also fitness, ... I mean, I'm already workout out, and I love it, but I think if I were "well", I'd probably wanna at least try the gym, ... my bedroom is my gym, but I'd like to use some of the fancy gear gyms typically have. Granted, my step-mother also has her own gym with some of said fancy gear, but they're hers, .. wouldn't feel right using them. xD Plus I have a thing about working out in absolute privacy, so as not to be disturbed, ... I hate being disturbed during a workout. >.< When I finally get out of here and into my own place, whenever a certain company manages to find me one ¬_¬ I plan to grab some more gym gears and try new things... I really miss pullups... man, they are a lot of fun on stuff like trees. xD Good times.

I'd have a better time with relationships, ... friendships, too. I'd certainly go out a lot more. (I rarely go out as it is, although, I'm hoping to change that once I've got myself looking better to the point of not feeling so self-conscious) and therefore meet more people, ... get back to being social again. Part of me missing going to the pub and meeting new people. or chilllaxing on the field in my town, on a nice sunny day, with a bunch of mates, and guitar in hand, ... ah, damn those were good times. Heck, if I were well, I might even be in a great relationship by now, even considering marriage. 'o.O Jesus, maybe even kids, ... that's horrifying.

I'd be visiting my brah a lot more. (best mate of 8 or so years, very much like a brother) I expect he and I would hang out a lot, and go off to cool places, .... I know he has wanted me to come with him to see bands for yeeeeears, and I've always refused because of the anxiety and stuff. I'd like to think I'd just be a better friend to him.

You can blame my mother for that ********! (I can't watch TV because of the adverts, ... seriously, even just hearing kids can be a big trigger; that's how far gone it is - therapy helped, but only so much)

I'm a fairly decent guitarist. I play the acoustic and the electric, fingerstyle and flatpicking. I'd like to think that if I were well, I wouldn't have turned down invites for bands or band-related stuff. I'd probably be a lead guitarist in a local and relatively successful band, but I said no. ¬_¬ To be fair, it's not overly my thing... I'd probably be in a blues band, though, ... love a bit o' blues.

I'd generally just be a happier person, and probably a better person. I'd have had a better childhood, a better education (I screwed up school and college because of health, bullying, and home life) and overall just be someone whom I can be proud to be.

I've always wanted to take up martial arts, ... for years... many years... I think I'd do that, too.

Oh well. As I said, .. depressing.

There is a flip-side, ... because of being so messed up, I've been forced to stay home more, which has given more the time needed to get much better at the guitar, at computers, at German, and English, and just, ... at life... at understanding people. I'm open-minded, ... more so, I believe, than if I were well. Being messed up can give us insight; would I trade that for health? Unfortunately, I may well do.

Too long, didn't read?

I'd be a better person, for myself, for my family, for my friends, ... I'd be happier; simple as.

I would have friends and hobbies and I would have a healthy relationship with my partner instead of being dependent on her.

[Onward2wards]

Remember the question "what would you do if you knew you could not fail?". I'd be doing all that good stuff. IF my brain would cooperate, which it seems to have no intention of doing. This sucks.

I would be working, or at a minimum be volunteering. I would socialize more. I would get up when I wake up and not go in bed until I was ready to sleep at night. I would not be so afraid of what the day has in store, and how I will cope with loneliness, boredom and lack of fulfillment.

[Parley]

I would probably be a fit successful single with a lot of activities and "friends" but lonely.

[ifst5]

I'd be living instead of existing.

[MuseumGhost]

I'd already be into my 20th year of owning and running my own design business.

I'd be single, as husband has been acting like such a catastrophic disappointment and promise-breaker these last few years.

I might even have a part-time home in another country.

I'd be travelling as much as I possibly could, as, even now, I never tire of doing that.

I'd still be in the nursing field. I left it because I can no longer do the lifting and carrying that is required.

[chromegirl]

I would be working extra hours and making more money, cooking from scratch most of the time, making renovation plans, and wedding plans. All things I would normally love to be doing.

[Voss]

I'd probably be enjoying a better social life, maybe running a group or two for my eccentric interests in the area. You know, self-confident people stuff.

Sounds good, Voss.

[TheCognitiveCouch]

We all can trunk our would do into can do...and the road might be harsh and we might have to force ourselves into it but in the end, if it's what we most wish for, we can do it.
Best wishes to all...
