Discussion something you would tell your past self?

[KiraComplex]

id tell them, "fuck him then leave hon!" save a whole world of pain!

i would also say, "please save that $60."

 

[everydayiloveyou]

I would tell little me to get therapy sooner. Maybe then my issues wouldn't have gotten so bad and persistent.

And also to drop out of the gifted program that I was in. Worst mistake of my life.

 

[TheAntidote87]

Don't go to the hospital, if you do the doctor will accidentally injure you and take all your hopes and dreams from you in an instant

 

[RedDEE]

Don't smoke meth. Just don't.

 

[Lmd]

You are smarter than you think so finish school and don't doubt yourself

 

[nerve]

Take school seriously, nobody's coming to rescue you.

 

[depression999]

Trust no one

 

[Cherrypea]

You look great, seriously. But also go through with the plan to ctb age 17, it's not worth trying to have a normal life.

 

[catsarecool]

Just die already.

 

[Wayfaerer]

You are smarter than you think so finish school and don't doubt yourself

This. Also, change your major sooner it's reinforcing your intellectual insecurity. ALSO, quit SSRI's as they're clouding your thinking. Oh yeah, one last thing, STAY AWAY FROM LIQUOR!

fuck, if I had just done those things I would've spared myself a TON of misery (and early CTB.)

 

[Lady black]

I would say hang yourself asap

It's okay to feel anger towards the inequalities and ridiculousness of the world around you, but don't use that as an excuse to ignore your own inadequacies. By blaming your faults on everyone and everything else, life gets so much worse. The world doesn't revolve around you; stop being manipulative -- there are other ways to get what you need and what you think you need changes as you grow. It's your responsibility to be direct. Being a doormat leads to bulldozing, and that causes so much damage. Stop seeking unnecessary validation. It's okay to be 'common' and effeminate; people appreciate authenticity, and you'll lose the already fragmented identity you have if you try to morph and fit in. What you see as ideal is meaningless.

Own your shit and don't worry about trying to climb academically. Fixing your identity issues and shitty conduct is so much more important than any potential career could be. Cut out the toxic family members for a while; your socialisation was unfair but to fix that you need to check yourself before you wreck yourself.

You do not need psychiatric intervention. Stop taking Adderall. You are not a victim.

See your niblings as much as you can. Cherish the small things.

I could go on.

Don't get your hopes up man

 

[Wayfaerer]

Don't get your hopes up man

If you could go back and give advice to your younger self, you don't think you could help yourself into a much better situation?

 

[Doormat]

Bail out before you hit 40. You think it's been shite? You ain't seen nothin' yet

 

[theguineapigking]

I'd tell myself to just end it already and that life is bullshit.

 

[ocd is bad]

If you could go back and give advice to your younger self, you don't think you could help yourself into a much better situation?

It's a nice idea but unfortunately I don't know how I'd get myself into a better position. I'm still trying to figure that out. The best I could do is prepare myself for the worst.

 

[death137]

Accept the pain and just end it.

 

[Sinai Silence]

Don't bother trying

 

[Superdeterminist]

There's a lot of pain awaiting you, so don't get too optimistic.

[Lupgevif]

Disobey your parents, ditch your friends, ditch the videogames.

 

[W3akCr3atur3]

Things will only get worse. Use your chance to ctb before everything went too bad.

 

[Raminiki]

The only person you can rely on is yourself. You're better off alone. Family does not come first. You do.

The universe doesn't do justice, fairness, or balance. You aren't going to get back what you give. You're living in a sunk cost fallacy. Don't sacrifice yourself for others and don't expect others to sacrifice for you.

It's not worth it. Nothing is worth it. Life is meaningless. Don't get attached or try to find meaning where there is none. Don't try to justify your bad experiences as lessons you're supposed to grow from or challenges you must overcome. Get out as soon as you can and save yourself the pointless suffering.

Oh jeez, so many words of wisdom/advice come to mind.

1. To 8 year old me: go with her to pick up dinner. Don't stay at the house with him. DON'T.

2. To 9 year old me: it will get better. I know it feels endless, I promise things will get better. They're just gonna get worse first. Hold on.

3. To 18 year old me: look, I know you're desperate for relief from pain since your accident, but this doctor isn't it. Don't go.

Actually, in all honesty, words of advice are cool and all, but if I could I would just kidnap/adopt young me and raise my younger self and I could avoid 95% of this current mess. I've failed in a lot of places, but I know I could be the person younger me truly needed. No abuse. Stability. Love. Ugh if only.

 

[BPD Barbie]

Stay away from him.
