Current life vs dream life...

[Neverhapppy]

Without going into too much detail pf your current... (the basics) Can i ask what your current life is like vs your dream life?

I think I'd be pretty happy if my MH was better. I have everything I want but am always anxious, often awake at night worrying that things will go wrong. Im good at my job but dread logging in because Im afraid therell be an angry email from a client (there never is and never has been). If I could get rid of that self doubt I think I'd be happy.

Current life: in a loveless relationship, v good job but miss my colleagues in my old job, rent a flat owned by my sister, one lovely DD who has anxiety.
Dream life: somehow manage to separate without causing upset, meet someone kind and suited to me, own my own flat, new similar job somewhere more fun, DD free from worry and full of confidence.

Current life: constantly tired, have little energy to do much. Love my job and apart from few issues with ds we are fine. Single. Money better than it was but I still can’t afford things without saving, I am desperate to see family abroad and would like to move

Dream life: to work four days a week and my job to pay much better (which it should). A nice and wealthy partner that doesn’t want to live with me but is happy to spoil me and add financial support. To have the energy to look after myself better

My current life is my dream life.
All I ever dreamed of was being a mum.
I now have a part time job I love, 3 primary aged kids, and am fortunate enough to afford a mortgage, cheap old car, piano, pets. I also have cherished friends and a couple of hobbies. My husband is hard work but I can't imagine myself any happier with anyone else.
I couldn't ask for more (maybe a flat stomach and more holidays).
Living the dream!

Current - single parent, low paid full time job, lonely. Council house. No partner.

Dream - creative job that pays well. Small detached cottage in/near woodland. Husband/partner who will
also be a best friend to grow old with. Travel.

Current life=dream life. I'm very lucky.

Current life: Worrying incessantly abt DD who has MH issues. DS thriving though. V part time dead end job. Hardly any friends or social life thks to yrs of WFH. Only sibling in another country. My own health issues. DH v stressed due to his own job..However financially secure thks to years of saving.
Dream life: Full time higher paying job in an office ( v unlikely)
DH retired by 55 ( likely)
DD happy and healthy ( who knows)
Lots of friends ( unlikely)
Spend more time wt sibling ( unlikely)

This was a depressing exercise.

Current - off sick, used to love my job (ICU) but last few years the stress has massively impacted me mentally and physically, not just covid but the responsibility in general, lovely partner, 2 dc doing ok, paid off mortgage, very little family left and one or two closeish friends.
Dream - retire but work one day a week without health worries, move back to home county to a town not as deprived and depressing, near sea or forest preferably, more friends and opportunities to live life ! So not much !

Current - living in ha flat, single with 2 dc. Struggling by with UC top up. We are not in the best area and doesn't have great schools.

Dream - A plot of land somewhere filled with animals, fruit and veg and ocean views. We would live in a quaint little cob house filled with eclectic furnishings and lots of hidey holes to escape to. I would work as a yoga therapist by day and make and sell my own art in the evenings. The dc would be mainly home schooled but would attend forest school a few times a week.

I would waft around in Free People Kimonos tending to my animals and veg patch. It would be just me and the dc living together but I would have several non-monogamous relationships with men as and when I felt like it. We would have a converted vw transporter that me and the dc could pile into on the weekends for outdoor adventures.

Current: hate my job, poor mental health, lots of uncertainty, have the number of kids I wanted,

Dream: switch career to creative field, all covid restrictions to be gone so free to travel again, do up house, spend more time with friends, kids reach their potential in education, lose 20lbs/ get fitter, do more activism
