When you express a wish that is not possible, you use conditional verbs which show a hypothetical situation (an imaginary situation that is not possible) or verbs that show desire. Some examples of conditional verbs are:
- could have
- would have
- if (...) I (would have/will/etc.)
Some verbs that show desire:
- I wish
- I would like
If you want to express a situation that is possible, then you can use 'I want':
Ex:
- I want to be a doctor
- I want to run 5km per day
- I want to go on a diet
There are certain situations in which "I want to be a cat" is more natural, like:
A: What do you want to be for Halloween?
B: I want to be a cat.
I'm sorry English is such a difficult language to learn 😅 There are so many rules that aren't always regular.

Other questions about "Case"
Q:
I was surprised to read the case study of Major Depressive Disorder because I thought that some of the symptoms are the feelings/behaviors that I have been experiencing. Over the last few weeks, I have been feeling sad. I haven’t felt motivated to take a shower or sleep properly. I have not told anyone, but I have also been feeling guilty. I have always been a good student, but now I am not. I lost appetite and it became normal to skip meals. I sometimes have only one meal a day even when I have enough time to go to the cafeteria. I started not taking a good care of myself because I do not think I deserve it. I might be feeling depressed for some reasons. When my friends or teachers ask me how I am doing, my answer is always “I’m doing good”; most of the times, I am not feeling good but depressed. I think, from my cultural background, I tend to avoid telling others my true emotions. Thus, they cannot just see it. I am too good at handling my negative emotions and hide them. soa natural?
A:
1. You don't need an article for "Taking good care of myself."
2. Say "most of the time." Time is singular, for some reason. :/
Nearly perfect, though. Your English is better than that of a native speaker. :)
