What's a piece of advice you would give your self 10 years ago?

just think about it if you knew then what you know now. i would have told myself to go to a traditional college instead of itt tech (huge controversy surrounding the school closing) .maybe then i would have graduated instead of becoming sick. i was under all kinds of pressure from my parents and my teachers that i failed to meet their expectations. i also would have told myself not to attempt suicide for the second time that things get better

I would have told myself not to shut others out of my life so completely. I really had no capacity for sociability. That has grown some in 10 years. It’s still not great but I’m a little stronger now.

I WOULD SAY TO MYSELF:

Dont do all those things you thought were brilliant ideas and would make you a bunch of money but just ended up costing you money in legal trouble and almost sent you away for a long time, Listen to your intuition and follow your gut, its always right. And GO SEE A DOCTOR YOU DUMBASS!!!

Good thread.ty

Minimalism with possessions all things. Do less. Simple. Banish stress. Laugh more. Health. Live small live big. Maybe I wouldn’t have got sick like this.

But I will try to still do these things now what I can!

“At the very latest, quit your job when your boss moves on. Nothing good happens after that, so might as well go back to school a few years early.”

If I could go back just a little over 10 years, as in before Valentine’s Day of 2007, I would tell myself not to propose to the woman who at that time was my gf. I would have pleaded with myself, explained that she would not be able to handle a psychotic break, but my dumb ass would not have listened.

I need to go back farther than ten years, like 15 or 20 and tell myself to not do dope. Like seriously young me, drugs are bad lol.

That’s what I figured. I’ve probably gained 10 from evening popcorn. Can’t watch without eating. Cant eat it without butter. The shame

I would tell myself not to underestimate schizophrenia and that I have it. Would make it clear that I would need to see a psychiatrist for the rest of my life.

I would say to myself. “Keep your job. It has great potential. Come early, stay late and work your ass off. Spend every spare second with your kids so the quality is there even though you have to work.”

Of course, I am the only one who even has a remote understanding of why that advice would be very good advice for myself. That’s OK. I get it…

CORN :corn:! How can you not watch. The way it grows. All stalkishly. I’m tempted to make Sausage Party references now. Turn away.
