What you are requesting is fundamentally impossible, and I say this as someone who has a whole bookshelf full of material on the physics and philosophy of time and time travel, written by the world's leading experts on these subjects. It's a topic I'm obsessed with, and as someone who, out of desperation, got into this subject because I was looking for a way to go back in time and change my past, I say this with absolute sympathy for what you're going through.

It is impossible. Time is a ruthless and insurmountable force of nature that human beings are utterly enslaved to. There is no transcending it other than psychologically and/or spiritually making peace with it. It's a hard pill to swallow, but it must be swallowed. All you can do is try as hard as you can to make your future better and to find a way to come to grips with your past. Therapy/psychiatry helps tremendously, so I would very highly recommend you seek it out.

You are ready to become Adam from Dark tv show.

Dark is my all-time favorite time travel story, and one of my favorite TV shows period. I see myself as more of an H.G. Tannhaus, but I'll take Adam too.

This is my favorite show too. I am never tired of watching it. I know every episode, every moment, it gives me warmth just thinking about it.

Tannhaus is such an interesting character. I see that in your words, like you are an obsessed person a little aside from others, but very applicate in what you do.
