[areyousafe??]

Kill yourself now.

 

[thenamingofcats]

Leave home immediately.

 

[LimpandNumb]

You will be diagnosed with a chronic illness. Don't have children.

 

[grapevoid]

1- take your time to get to know people before you put your trust in them.
2- set healthy boundaries now. People pleasing isn't as beneficial as you think it is.
3- fix things now while you still have time to reroute

 

[Forveleth]

• Tell your parents to fuck off. Never talk to them again.
• Go do the trade job you wanted, fuck college. It will be hard work and you might not make much, but you'll be happy.
• Religion is a bunch of lies meant to control people. Be Aetheist and free.
• Fuck people too. Get birth control and fuck everyone.
• If all of this sounds too much just kill yourself because life is going to suck balls the direction you're headed.

 

[Nothing Left]

1. Pick a passion and commit; don't do things out of desperation, but out of desire.
2. Heal your childhood and adolescent trauma.
3. In the event you can't heal, then mask like crazy - do not allow people to see your true nature of immaturity and mediocrity.
4. Leave the infantilization behind and get a fucking job and save some money to travel.
5. If you end up joining the army again, DO NOT FUCK IT UP - stay in and save money for your future.

 

[Manic Panic]

It doesn't get better so go ahead and kill yourself.

 

[Saturn_]

Stop trying to make friends. People will just bring you down, and vice versa.

 

[patheticparasite]

Listen. This is as good as it gets. There will be no progress from here on. It will only get worse. The future holds nothing for you. You wanted to die before and you should have. I know you won't listen. You're far too scared and lazy to start anything. Waste away then, loser.

 

[Namelesa]

Don't go into any relationship. Just stay the loner you are so you don't suddenly discover this great feeling to be close to someone to then have to deal with the anxiety and paranoia of losing them and then become broken from losing them eventually and becoming a love addict. Also don't express your suicidalness as much and do attempts without much planning, especially with if others know what you are doing in the moment, so you have more freedom to be able to manage life or to kill yourself.

EDIT: On wait I am stupid, I already did an attempt and went into a relationship before the age of 18. (I am 19 now about to turn 20 this month) I guess just try to find anything to cope on that isn't relationships yet as you will hurt yourself and others more. Also get an account on SaSu as that has benefited my mental health more than anything so far.

 

[Tumblewillow]

Stop telling people your problems, figure it out on your own.

 

[Spicy Tteokbokki]

• Take big risks and go traveling while you still have the chance to before getting kicked out of your parent's house.
• Staying in this country will only make you more isolated and miserable with time, find somewhere else to live.
• Get the help you need to function now, even if you have to use the grey-market, people have no clue what they're talking about and you're smart enough to do your own research and know the risks and how to apply and/or use everything you need, it'll literally change your life majorly and perhaps make you have no depression in the future, and likely prevent any kind of CTBing as well, which seems inevitable in my timeline.

ctb now

 

[DarknessAtNoon]

You have severe ADHD. If you don't structure your life around this fact and seek treatment you will fail in life.

 

[Spicy Tteokbokki]

You have severe ADHD. If you don't structure your life around this fact and seek treatment you will fail in life.

Wish we could get the help we need earlier in life. Knowing I have autism and ADHD and that that is why I struggle so much at school and the jobs I have tried, I'd be in a very much different place right now. I feel there are a lot of people like us out there struggling in life because of it.

 

[Life'sA6itch]

To tell myself to get more deadly pills for my first attempt on the night of my 13th birthday. Life sucks even more than I ever could have imagined, even knowing as a CHILD that I wanted to die. Woke up the next day like I'd eaten candy and ticked off that I was alive.

 

[ClippedWings]

This is the beginning of the end for you. Drop everything, fuck as many women as possible, and then kill yourself.

 

[oneeyed]

Buy stock in Nvidia, Netflix, and amazon. Get like 1000 bitcoins. Then tell myself when to sell and live like a fucking king and never work again.

 

[lemonlotl]

Don't go to his dorm room. ):

 

[hereornot]

Run away from your family

 

[platypus77]

I wouldn't listen.

 

[bananaolympus]

reconnect with your childhood best friend who is looking to reconnect with you don't avoid him

Go to the gym exercise and eat healthy

Follow the career you want don't be afraid to fail at least try to

Limit your screen time and use of headphones

Put braces or invisalign whatever treat your dental health

Go to a psychiatrist to know if you need meds

Don't be a shut in spend quality time with your family and pet more often

DO NOT BE LAZY YOU ARE AT THE RIGHT TIME TO CHANGE THINGS

 

[pthnrdnojvsc]

To my 18 year old self : kill yourself today , now . None of that garbage they tell you is so important or good really is . you don't have to do anything they say is so important and "fun" . everything is just bait for the most extreme torture. nothing matters. everything is insignificant . what that you do this year will matter in 130 years, in 1000 years? in 100,000 years in a trillion years . nothing . Your actions are but a blip in the lifetime of the universe. No one will remember your name. Your actions are meaningless.
Nothing you do would "matter" anyway, It's just that we are a speck in the universe, and a blink in the history of the world
nothing matters except avoiding unbearable pain and my suicide asap. pain is a billion times worst than you can imagine . no reason to risk unbearable pain. you do want to avoid extreme pain , extreme suffering or extreme torture and only one way to do that .. all this would hold true if i hadn't found out i'm just cells, chemical reactions , a machine but also a brain that can suffer unending constant unbearable pain. pain is a billion times worse than you can imagine. we all will die anyway.

 

[whiskeyblanket]

Trauma has damaged you beyond the ability of being able to achieve your dreams. Find a way to live with it, or buy a gun. Either way, 200+ otc and prescription pills plus several bottles of cough syrup will not do the job, and no one will care in the morning that you survived an attempt.

 

[Pluto]

 

[RadiantNumber]

I would erase myself if I could

 

[divinemistress36]

Dont trust anyone especially men and doctors . They do more harm than good

 

[galaxid]

If I had the opportunity, I would leave me alone. It's a little bit too late for warnings at 18, and I had a lot of hope back then. I think I did the best I could. Some circumstances can't be helped.

 

[Unhumanly.]

I'll send link to buy SN for my 18 yo self too bad I only knew about them now
