I was sitting here recollecting thoughts and i asked myself that question. What change would i do if i was able to do life all over again. My question is if you got a new lease on life what would you do different?

I'd stay on my medication at age twenty five. The chances if me thriving for the following ten years go up sharply if you take that action into the equation.

Everytime someone showed signs of any illnesses, id be super anoying and force them to go to hospital immediately no matter how much they fight me. It would prevent alot of death. I wish i did that

I would try to live a completely different life than the one I'm living right now. I would work harder, find something that I want to do, take more risks, and live life for my self. Although i worry that i would eventually fall back into my old habits because if the choices i made molded who i am as a person, then can i really live differently if i know what i did before? idk.

Not waste 5 years between 16-21. Never use age to justify your lack of achievement. "I'm 18 I got nothing under my resume, BUT it's okay because 18 is still very young." This is essentially a pass. People think when they're young they can afford to waste precious time BECAUSE they are young. They'll party or sit on their pc and watch years pass by. Ugh...How unfortunate. If you're still young and got some desire to live life, get to work. Act as if time is a precious commodity because it is. Next thing you know you're 40 and reflecting on what could have been...

The damage is not just time lost, it also results in laziness and the inability to abide to a schedule/routine. This results in a smaller capacity for output and that's when you realize the rat race could care less about your tribulations. Wasting time and not building the mental foundation to succeed in the earlier years has been a big detriment for me. still young but wish I got to work earlier.

I don't think anyone could even if it were possible. I think we are (pre)determined to live the lives we lead (i.e. we never stood a chance nor could we ever).

Even if I could I feel like it wouldn't make that much of a difference and that I'm eventually going to be in the position I am today regardless of the choices I make.

I suppose I would find something I like and STICK to it. It may help me mentally.

This is truth. Unfortunately, I'm in that circumstances. If I could redo life all over, I would worked 3times the effort.

I hear you. I'd like to smack 21-year-old me so hard in the face for only giving my pill three months. I only later learned how critical it was to stay on it. More than anything, I'd like to be 18 again and advocate for my health concerns properly. At that age I thought it was too late. Now, at 30, I realize how stupid I was.

I'd like to think that there are parallel universes where we are living better versions of our lives and that we can wake up in one these better realities after we ctb. Wishful thinking of course, but I can dream.

I would not listen or care so much about what people say and think of me. The cause of much of my turmoil in life is because people had too much control over what I do in my life. I would also be more of a wild child and get into more "trouble" because getting into the habit of being a "good" kid is so boring and has made me wish for a more exciting life. When I was younger I had way more motivation and opportunity to change but now I need the motivation just to get up from my bed to eat even a little.

If I had the choice, I would have changed which family I was born into. That would have fixed everything. But sadly I just want to die

Me too. I want to change which family I was born into.

Alongside that:
-Stood up more for yourself, especially regarding your choice of major in college. (My country still look at it as a big deal for jobs.)
-Never try to bully someone.
-Better to keep your hobbies & passions not as occupations. Both never ended well, especially financially.
-Just being able to content with loneliness. You'll never find love or best friends anyway.

If all of those doesn't work, then I just choose not to born at all.

I'm working on a inner change. I can't change my body but I can change my mind. Maybe if I work that way I could improve
