.....that made me cry last night. i've been depressed since i was 12, now i'm 17 and i've realized that i've spent 5 teenage years being depressed, and i can never have those years back. i did express my depression to my mother..who did nothing until i was 15, resentful and suicidal.
anyone ever wish they could go back in time, and fix a mistake (on someone Else's part) that impacted your life in such a terrible way? Posted on 11/14/08, 09:11 pm |

(((((((hugs)))))))
I'd go back in time to my teenage years for one reason: to tell people how I really felt about them. I was too afraid to reveal ANY feelings in High School, but there were people in my life then that I deeply loved, and deeply disliked too. I would go back and stop pretending to be untouchable. I would tell two people in particular how much I loved them and still do, and I would tell the assholes exactly how they made me feel.

there are many things i would do differently... i would change a lot... im 20 and believe depression really started with me too when i was 12... i think i was depressed before but this is when i started behaving differently... withdrawn...
i spent all my teenage years waiting for things to change... but not doing anything about how i felt... i find thinking of all the things i would change makes me so much more depressed... i pull apart my life until im filled with so much pain and haunted by bad memories... problem is we can't change the past... so got to try and make the most out of we have now and who we are... work on ourselves... i duno... guess im just trying to say we gotta try look forward and not dwell on the past... i hope to get to a point i can do this... im at a stage where i dont even know who i am anymore... i feel lost and alone... but it's gotta get better right? it has to...

it's a tempting idea, but I'm afraid I would mess something up if I told my younger self anything.
Paradoxes aside, I would probably tell him to follow his own moral compass, and not be drawn in too easily.

i feel that way a lot. My dad used to video tape me when i would cry (which was all the time) so he could play it back and show me how stupid i looked. I wish i was brave enough to get help on my own.

Sure I think about it, .. but only now and then, and not for long.
