I would give myself a hug and tell myself it'll all be ok.

[-] bremen15@feddit.de 5 points 1 year ago

Great approach. Check out ifs

Internal Family System. A therapeutic approach based on system theory approaches child-like inner parts and gives them the affection and love they needed (and still need) when those parts formed.

[-] areyouevenreal@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

I think they are talking about internal family systems. It's a type of therapy.

[-] Aurenkin@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago

Sounds like you went through some difficult times. Really glad things worked out ok for you

[-] Resistentialism@feddit.uk 2 points 1 year ago

I hope you're good, man.

I think I'd be the opposite. I'd be like, "It still sucks, and the loneliness hits harder than ever, fella. But when you're 24, you'll get something that'll change your life."

Just to leave this oit there for the concerned; I'm fine.

[-] violetraven 2 points 1 year ago

I am, but it's a day-by-day affair. I recently found out I have bipolar along with anxiety, but even so, I came out 4 years ago and my life has vastly improved.

[-] Resistentialism@feddit.uk 2 points 1 year ago

Hey, it's better than it always being shit. I'm sorry about the bipolar though. However, hopefully, it's been found out. You can get help more suited for that.

The anxiety is.hinestly such a bitch. And I'm so glad coming out has helped. I wish you all the best.

Tell my young self that it isn't a phase and that he should start the therapy to become she immediately!

[-] MataVatnik@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

Kill him since I already know it doesn't get much better

Is that suicide, murder or murder suicide?

[-] Catsrules@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

Depends if it rips apart universe by making a paradox. I am not sure is destruction of the universe is a criminal charge. But maybe Murder suicide then manslaughter for killing the universe?

[-] Resistentialism@feddit.uk 1 points 1 year ago

I mean, just from a quick duckduckgo, destruction of the universe isn't technically illegal.

Depending on how well you do it, there should be no charges because it'll all be gone.

Imagine the disappointment if you then don't stop existing. You still did a good deed, nobody can take that away from you.

[-] Somewhereunknown7351@kbin.social 11 points 1 year ago

I would do that with a chainsaw

[-] aeternum@kbin.social 9 points 1 year ago

I've made a lot of mistakes in my life. This really hits home.

[-] Sureito@feddit.de 7 points 1 year ago

No, it would hit you

[-] Deiskos@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

I would tell my younger self to go to a psychiatrist and get some antidepressants about 2 years earlier than last time.

[-] Gabu@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

My expert advice to past me: "Stop trying to do so many different things and focus on getting good at one fucking thing at a time"
I still don't follow that.

[-] PeWu@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Same. Even tho I'm trying, it's so boring doing one thing, so I'm trying everything...

[-] Kyrgizion@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I'd use a gun tbh. Gotta make sure.

[-] apotheotic@beehaw.org 3 points 1 year ago

I genuinely don't know if my younger self would have the presence of mind to take me seriously, but I would try to reach them and encourage them to be more empathetic toward things/people that they didn't understand. I was a bit of an asshole as a teenager, heck maybe even in my early 20s, and I wish I could go back with the care I have now.

[-] agamemnonymous@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

When you realize that's why your parents were like that

[-] RQG@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Because they time traveled back to slap themselves?

[-] PeWu@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

I would say, try to find some meaning to life, but it wouldn't be understood by 10yr pos

[-] Churbleyimyam@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

I think some people become parents for this reason. For better or worse...

[-] HubertManne@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

I would have a conversation. Mainly about stocks but also about the cubs.
