A world with no mental illness is called Heaven. Those who love God first and foremost despite all of life's pains will see such a place.
We are allowed to have pain because it is God calling us to rely upon His strength. If we think we can go it alone, we will fail, and we won't see Heaven.
I admit, this belongs in the Religious forum not the med forum.

Why couldn't it be Earth? But while I sense your extreme depression about your situation, there seems also to be maybe just a sliver of hope in your statement.
Anyway I take it as hope. I am agnostic, there's no religious sense to my view, a world without mental illness and all sorts of diseases may not come in our existence, a temporary phenomenon, something one should grab onto and hold the things that are right in this Here and Now, but they may be a part of a future world.
This world is very small but it is vast also, and nobody, but nobody is perfect. Comparing to what one thinks is the "normal" world isn't going to get forward in recovery. There isn't such a thing as pure perfection and normality.
Everybody has something that ails them at some point in life, some people are just able to triumph above it, manage it with whatever tools are available, or simply hide it.
There's nothing wrong with fantasies, dreams, but most importantly hope. Letting go of living in the past but keeping the good memories, living in the Here and Now, which is what we all have, illness or not, and not projecting the infinite future are key to recovery.

It's not pie in the sky. it'll happen in this century. At one time a world without smallpox would have been thought impossible - now it's gone.
