I also want to be back in my old city in a place with a playroom for my snakes and a patio that I can sit outside privately and have a couple planters on.
As for material possessions, the only thing I can think of at the moment is to still have my (or a) car.
Recently, I realized I'm no longer capable of relationships.
A little while back, I started talking to someone very nice and as soon as I felt like I was getting mentally/emotionally close and vulnerable with them, I started having panic attack after panic attack after panic attack after panic attack. I stopped sleeping, dissociated worst than normal.
It was so bad, I stopped talking to them because I wanted the $#%^ I was going through to end.
I think I'd be better at being a therapist than doing support work type stuff.
It ######6 blows though because to be able to counsel as a social worker, you don't need more than a bachelor's to get work, but places won't hire anyone psychology based unless they have a Masters or PhD or PsyD.
Even then, there's very few jobs for them.
Social workers are too busy being feminists, etc. that they don't focus enough on research or how the mind operates, biology or interpersonal dynamics or any of that.
Also, I find feminism, sjws, and social work extremely triggering (probably one of the most enraging things in my life)
If I got a proper education, I thought it would be cool to do research and put together a coping and effectiveness skills kind of thing for people who are institutionalized due to being in the prison system (and want to stay out), etc.
As for self-improvement, I'd like to work on my emotional intelligence among other issues I've recently discussed around here, I want to be able to ground myself/practice mindfulness, do more things based in nature and be able to sit quietly and peaceful when I want to. I'd like to be willing to meditate again too.
