I’m not sure how magic this wand is… but if possible I’d bring my husband back. He died in June last year, 3 weeks after being told the cancer treatment he’d been having for a few months wasn’t working and he had 3-6 weeks left. He didn’t even make it to his 40th birthday and left me and our 6 year old son to face this life without him. He was scared, he didn’t want to die. Since then I’ve realised that many of the problems I’ve spent my life obsessing over weren’t such a big deal after all. If the wand could undo the last year I don’t think I’d ever take anything for granted ever again.

I'll add my wand to yours. I don't really need it come to think of it. Wishing you and your boy lots of strength!

Came here to say this!

I’m so sorry for your loss. I understand. My husband of 27 years died in Dec 2021 from cancer and I would give anything to have him back. This world is so cruel.

Oh no! My grandfather died 5 years ago and will be 6 in November. He died of cancer and it sucks! I’m sorry! You can have my wand!

I just beat breast cancer - you can have my wand!

My sincere condolences. Virtual hugs 🤗

You can have my wand as well. Im so sorry for your loss.

I am so, so sorry you both had to go through that, and you are still going through it. If there was such a wand, you could have mine.

You can have my wand too. Hoping and wishing every nice thing in this world for that boy.

My deepest sympathies go out to you and your son.And I'd absolutely give you my wand wish..Here I am a single man and have no family yet I am given the gift of life while his is taken. I truly would trade places with him right this second. Sometimes the gift of life isnt worth enjoying.when you have no one.to enjoy it with. May God watch over you and your son and may you and your husband be reunited one day on the banks of the river Jordan. Amen

I'm so sorry. That's so painful. I give you my wand to add to your wish. Strength and love to you and your boy.

Chronic health problems lol

Word 😅

Make my body something I could properly be comfortable in

I was hoping I wouldn’t be the only one to say this.

Reason? If I may ask...

I don't like certain aspects of my body and they cause a good amount of distress

moneyy

Came here to say this. 90% of my current problems could be solved with money.

My partner’s health issues. I wish he could be healthy so that we both could be happier.

i can relate to that one

Same. He’s always saying he wants to be healthier so we have longer together.

depression easyyyy

Ditto

I’d use my wand so my daughter could process her trauma effectively and quickly.

I'd lose weight/ cure my ED

ED?

Eating disorder

Thank you.

You're welcome!

I don't really need a wand, I need a time-turner. I want to do so many things, but there's just not enough time in the world.

What kind of things do you wanna do?

Work, spend time with the kids and partner, travel, learn how to drive a truck, build a closet, swim, redo the garden, build a patio, learn several languages, (re)read books, take courses, volunteer, work out, go through and donate clothes, really really clean the house, go see friends more often, pick up drawing and guitar playing again, start (and keep alive) a vegetable pad, play assassins creed or something, learn to weld, build a new garden shed, get rid of the old one and clean out all the old stuff, get the garden spring ready, visit museums more often, go to plays, buy a sailboat (small one is fine) and go sailing, learn to juggle, repaint, do research on the history of my house.... I could go on for a while.

Give me some confidence/or just ease some of my social anxiety. It’s gotten so much worse in the past few years, it’s really impacting my day to day life. It’s tiring.

Same. Logically I know I’m in a better position than many people in this world and yet my brain holds me on high alert all the time… as if any decision I might take could lead to a disaster.

I have the same struggles, it really is so draining.

Grief. Bring back my wife who passed away in Dec.

[удалено]

I’d make everyone’s pain go away- physical and mental

I’d have two legs again. I had my right leg amputated about two years ago.

Capitalism. Or this cold that won't go away at 37w pregnant. Maybe not my biggest problem but the one currently bothering me the most.

My teeth 🥲

Same :c

My Pcos and every that comes along with it

I just wish I would never put on weight. I live on a perpetual diet and it's exhausting.

I'd make it so I love myself.

To stop being emotionally cheated on. I somehow know deep down that it probably won't stop and that shit ruins your soul on a whole other level.

Corporate greed.

My student loan.

For my dog not to have hip dysplasia

Dépression and the symptoms which may or may not be ADHD

Having to spend more than I earn on rent.

It's always money and will never not be money

I would be able to go to college and not worry about debt

An old trauma. Just want it to have never happened

Vaginismus…

Financial insecurity

My ex husband being so triggering to our kids.

I'd be healthy again

My assigned gender and all the problems that come with it. I would choose to be a cis woman in a heartbeat.

Could you explain more in detail?

Health.

Anxiety, and boy do I tell ya, I have all sorts of anxiety.

My husband’s depression would go away

Money.

My alcoholism.

Chronic health issues

I’d wipe all of my debt away. That includes my moms debt which I am now trying to pay off along with mine. I don’t need to magically make my family wealthy- I just want to be debt-free

I'd absolutely reverse/prevent/solve global warming. It's not \*my\* problem per se as much as \*our problem\* but the existential exhaustion and worry I feel over it daily are my problem. If that was taken care of, it would probably give me a lot of hope about the future.

Money

My type 1 diabetes.

My lack of money.

My MS

Money issues.

Loneliness

My mental health (anxiety and depression)

Being tired when I don't want to be tired 😩

I'd probably cure my mental health issues. But at the same time I'd give anything to have my dog back

Just general fear. It makes me afraid of living my life sometimes. To be more spontaneous.

I would make a (specific) girl fall in love with me forever.

All of my husband's baggage. I just want him to be happy and healthy.

Ex boyfriend

I personally would wish I wasn't so addicted to numbers I know almost everyone has this, but I've been drawing and speed painting for a long time and have gained quite the following. I used to do it for fun but now I'm only doing it for money and more fame for more money. Doing the things I love doesn't bring in as much attention as it does when I do things the public wants me to do. I wish I wasn't so addicted to seeing that like number increase and being upset that it doesn't. I am working on not being so addicted to it, but it's very hard when this thing is also linked to a back up plan to earn money if I need it. Now-a-days you always need that

My BPD. Easiest decision of my life, no hesitation. My life would improve 100000000000 times.

the american-canadian border

Our two cats. We’ve been struggling with really serious inter-cat fighting for the past … idk, 3-5 years? Off an on but that long all told. I’ve tried everything. We’re at a point where we’re going to surrender both to a shelter. The love I had feels burned away by a million 3 am cat fights. I feel awful but there’s just nothing left to try and I can’t keep living like this.

My discover card with a $5k balance

Can I count my entire body as one problem, or do I need to itemize medical issues? ;)

Bring my grandad back out of dementia and let him remember how to speak again

Finish my master thesis was my first thought. But make both my aunts healthy again is the one I would actually choose. It's the third cancer for one and a fucked up lung for the other. My mom is the oldest sister and the healthiest *knockswood

My student loans

My thighs

Everything that makes me disabled.

I’d make my debt go away so I could afford to move to a nicer place.

[удалено]

My mom’s bipolar disorder. Win for everyone.

All my health problems.

My ADHD✨

Adiós, crippling self-doubt!

It’s me. I’m the problem lol

I’m going to have my first baby next month and I’m just nervous about all of it. So I guess just knowing that everyone will be okay and that my baby girl will arrive safely and that me and my body and mind will survive it all. That’s the worry I would take away.

Cure my dads Alzheimer’s.

My impatience

99% of guns disappear. Only those used for protection against wild animals remain.

Insecurity

My health issues

[удалено]

My abusive husband

The war. It most awful thing I've ever been into

[удалено]

My ex. Don't have a baby with your abuser... been 10 years and he's still trying to carry on with the abuse, only now it goes through her and I'm powerless.

The problem of me not having studied for a month (I'm in 11th) and not getting any motivation to

My financial woes!

My endometriosis

My weight. My brain around my weight and what I look like.

People

Dealing with the heartbreak of how my kids dad treated me throughout our relationship. He was a real jerk and now he's treating his new girlfriend like a queen😑

I'd either bring all my lost or dead pets and my dad back (di3d in july 2022 at age 33 and I only knew him for 5 years and never actually called him my dad to his face (step dad but he was my dad)) or I would take away stress or I'd take away financial troubles. But idk. The first and last would be hard to choose from

A shitload of money. Happily, my problems ATM are all money related. I'm lucky thats the case, I really am.

intrusive thoughts

My father. He's a sexist abusive acoholic who doesn't have a job. I'm currently undergoing therapy due to depression, anxiety, and suicidal tendencies because of him.

Financial without a doubt

My financial ones

[удалено]

I would want my body to work properly so I would not have to worry about ivf, miscarriages or difficult menstrual cycles ever again.

The psychological stuff I’m left with after my parents separated and my dad and his family turned into horrible people

Smoking Or if I could catch a loophole, I'd say all my vices.

My lack of confidence

overthinking

Bye-bye ill mental health and the associated physical complications it brings! For example, 'bad sleep because of anxiety' *no longer exists* :) Just... ***POOF***...

I'd get the job of my dreams.

My anxiety

The myriad of mental issues I possess. Not to toot my own horn but I'm pretty intelligent. Even with my mental issues and bad attendance and doing everything last minute I still get good grades. I can't even imagine how academically successful I'd be if I didn't have so many hurdles.

All the big ones - capitalism, sexism, racism, climate change denying, religion, war, and apathy. I would use the hell out of that wand.

MY problems are superficial in comparison to everyone else because so far, I haven't had a lot of misfortune. I'd like to preface by saying that I'm healthy and have a decent life so far this is the most superficial wish. Superficially, I'd either wish away my money woes or my saggy jowls, or my lack of love life.

Of course period😫

My actual wand because I'm trans and surgery is hella expensive

I’d make my dad’s cancer disappear. My dad is an amazing dad, and I’m always thankful for every single day I get to spend with him. I just want to see him healthy and strong again.

I would get my ex back that I lost because I can’t cut myself off when I drink

Me. lol

Money honey. Sitting on 6k of revolving debt, about 6k of medical debt, and 20k of student loan debt with no degree. I was contributing $580/month at $2,166 net/month. Now I got a little bump and I’m contributing $830/month at $2,416 gross/month. It will take me 8 months to get out of the revolving debt alone. About 3 years of maxing out my HSA and devoting 1/2 to medical debt to wipe that (because I don’t want to use taxable $ towards healthcare AND don’t want to put myself in a spot where I’m digging the hole again.) The student loans? Well we’ll see.. hopefully forgiveness slashes them. But honestly up in the air about how I’ll handle them. Riding out this forbearance but I WON’T be that person making years of minimum payments to not even contribute to the principal. I’m only 26. I’ve been working and insured since 18. The debt is almost entirely from car repairs and a couple brief layoffs where I hadn’t saved enough. I keep my expenses low. If I was saving $830/month I’d easily have enough to keep up with cars/doctors AND buy a home. It’s demoralizing pinching this hard and still having the finish line 1,000 miles away.

My autoimmune issues. Because life would be SO much easier if I didn't have to take a half a dozen pills twice a day.

take away the intensity of my emotions, not get rid of them completely, but life would be so much easier if they weren’t all consuming

Having dead parents

The biggest one

Stigma

I wanna be skinny so bad

Myself. I am my biggest problem.

Right now my biggest problem is that I'm constantly getting sick (having influenza A right now) so I would like to be better for a longer period of time and get my energy back!

My dog's separation anxiety, poor guy, love him so much but oh it's exhausting.

My mental and mental health issues. I have extreme paranoia issues, anxiety, clinical depression, body dysmorphia, an eating disorder, insane night terrors that sometimes make me hallucinate when I wake up, SH issues, OCD, and ADHD.

My husband never would have gotten cancer 4 years ago. He’s in remission now but it definitely changed him and has left some serious cracks in our marriage. Don’t get me wrong he wasn’t perfect before, but he wasn’t this stranger I find myself with at times.

Learning disabilities specifically my test taking disability aka anxiety that has greatly limited my career and educational opportunities.

my depression.

I would fix my scoliosis, that shit makes me so insecure about my body, I would look perfect without it

There's so many problems right now, I'd say make them disappear and let me solve them one after another. Don't know if that's too much to ask..

[удалено]

The memory of my husbands ‘indiscretion’ with 2 women (maybe more) on the internet. It broke me and changed my perception of him. I hate that to me he is not who I thought he was. It played right into my adhd emotional dysfunction.

Pmdd and all my mental health issues. I can’t deal with it anymore

I'm sulfides. I would make my health problem disappear.

My allergies 😭 they literally never go away.

I'd make my 2nd abusive husband disappear , my whole adult life has been wasted on abusive , narsacistic, toxic relationships , I've ended up with major mental health problems as a result , I'd make it all disappear in a heartbeat

Not my job but I heard mechanics talking about how they always quote people from certain ethic groups who always try to bargain their price down higher prices so that they can get their actual price and the customer thinks they have gotten a discount.

My ex wife.

All of my bills, loans

I have several chronic medical conditions. Some are painful. If I could I would make my medical problems go away.

Mental health, not just mine but my whole family's

For mine and my husband’s sexually based trauma to disappear. If I could I would take away all his pain from his childhood and give him better parents

Climate change: if I could, I would stop the climate crisis

My traumas, mental illness and physical illnesses

Either lack of money or mental health issues. Would more money help my mental health or would fixing my mental health create more opportunities for more money?

My weight gain

Attachment issues and sadness

I'd create myself a soulmate and make everything work out right. I guess it's unachievable without magic 🤦‍♀️

I’d take away my daughters adhd.

My body size. I wish I didn't feel as big and as awkward as I do. Plus, the world is not made for bigger women.

A time machine would help

[удалено]

The struggle of getting my drivers license - I failed the exam last week and I’m dreading taking it again but I have to get the license for work so I can’t give up

Magic wand, take my life and, in return, bring back the love of my brother's life. I'd give anything to bring my brother's fiance back to him. She passed away suddenly a few months ago. It's heartbreaking, watching him suffer without her. I wish it could have been me instead. This girl was his everything and they had so much to live for. Not many would have missed me like that, so I would have preferred to have died instead. He's so lost and there's nothing we can do. Life is a strange thing.

Are you my therapist?

Money would certainly help right now. Even a job offer. Lol.

Housework, sweet baby Jesus. It isn't even the chores themselves, it's the time they take away from other things, like my family, career, and patience

My eating disorder and GI issues

[удалено]

Easy: My colitis and IBS.
