Mine would be to care less what people think of me.

You?

To finish life,when it gets too difficult in old age would be very welcomed!

BackBackBack · 17/12/2021 17:42

To be able to forget bad memories and finally be able to move on from them.

KittyBurrito · 17/12/2021 17:44

So that white men would realise before they open their mouths that I'm past caring about their BS and they would just not bother trying.

Sense of direction, spatial awareness for driving / parking, hi clobber! Next would be eye sight, then weight gain. I am quite the catch.

Ooo some of these are great! I was going to say I'd like a pill which stops migraines for good but a pill which grows new healthy teeth would be amazing!

Mrsbrownsbuoys · 17/12/2021 17:53

A pill to turn back time so I could do things differently.

A pill to go to sleep and not wake up when it's time.

ScreamingMeMe · 17/12/2021 17:55

Confidence. I really do think it's the key to almost anything.

PivotPivotPivottt · 17/12/2021 17:57

To not feel hunger.

Jacketpotato84 · 17/12/2021 18:02

A pill to stop worrying about absolutely everything, it's exhausting.

A pill to have the ability to know whether a person is safe and genuine or lying

A pill to keep youthful looks, a bit like rapunzels magic hair I don't mind singing for it haha

RepentBirthingPersonFucker · 17/12/2021 18:03

To make me sing like Mary Coughlan

hennaoj · 17/12/2021 18:08

To cure coeliac diease

Sevensilverrings · 17/12/2021 18:10

To be content. I don’t expect ‘happy’ all the time, but I’d love to sustain an even, contented mood rather than the roller coaster I live on.
I’d also like to be fit and healthy. Between these two my life would be much improved.

Keladrythesaviour · 17/12/2021 18:11

Ability to learn another language. Nothing else seems to work so I'm holding on for a pill!

DaisyNGO · 17/12/2021 18:13

Weight loss
Actually any pills to replace the boring stuff you have to eat...and pills to magic away the problems from cake.

ThisIsBanana5 · 17/12/2021 18:21

I've always said I'd like sun protection in the form of a pill. I'd be happy to take one a day but one pill for lifetime protection would be great.

Liking the sound of the eyesight one too.

TottiePlantagenet · 17/12/2021 18:23

A pill to make me mentally & physically healthy. Because I think then I would be happy, or at least less unhappy!

SheldonesqueTheBstard · 17/12/2021 18:24

To make me have proper healing hands.

I would start with my family and radiate outwards.

Selfishly I’d like to reverse the shite the menopause has left me with but the healing hands would win.

MilduraS · 17/12/2021 18:38

I'd love a pill for motivation. I'm a terrible procrastinator

Mammyloveswine · 17/12/2021 18:42

@Laska2Meryls

To make me 9 stone again (and unable to put on more than 7lbs) (vain)
Same
thatsallineed · 17/12/2021 18:44

General fatigue and just feeling under the weather all the time.

DH was astounded when I told him that I genuinely could not remember ever waking up in the morning feeling healthy.

MissCruellaDeVil · 17/12/2021 18:45

An energy and anxiety busting pill!

amusedbush · 17/12/2021 18:46

@Bonheurdupasse

ADHD

(:( yes it's crap that there's basically no provision for adult ADHD, the medication exists but I can't get it)

I’m sorry to hear that. It must be by postcode because I’m under my local mental health team and I’ve just started medication. They are also offering me tailored therapy and coaching.

Have you looked at different NHS trusts nearby?

RicherThanYew · 17/12/2021 18:48

I want to say a cure for my disability but a pill that gives me the ability to speak to the dead at any time, for any duration.

Lulu1919 · 17/12/2021 18:49

To always be a slim size 10 whatever I eat !!!!

squashyhat · 17/12/2021 18:52

To go back to age 30. I might make different decisions but mainly would know how horribly quickly life goes and make more of every moment
