15 years old was the start of my first major bipolar episodes. I guess I'd tell myself that I had bipolar disorder (manic depression) and not schizophrenia, like I thought. I'd also have to teach myself what manic depression even was. I understood depression, but not mania. I'd recommend treatment from a psychiatrist.
I'd tell myself to never ever ever stop dancing. I need not be a professional, but I should dance every day without exceptions. I'd say idealism of youth need never die. I'd remind myself to always stay brave. I'd warn myself to not abuse alcohol in the future. I'd tell myself to not drop Intermediate French in college three years later, but to take it through Advanced and continue even beyond. |

You are beautiful and incredible just the way you are. You have nothing to prove to anyone. Work on loving yourself first and everything else will fall into place.

I know you are doing everything you can do, even if it doesn’t feel anywhere near enough.

Don't get married, and don't believe the constant put-downs from your parents. Yes, you CAN do well without a college education.

Don't believe people who run you down. Maturity and confidence are good as gold. Don't settle when it comes to love...if love isn't there keep looking.

It's okay not to be perfect. It's okay to make mistakes. You will still be loved all the same.

I think I'd shed light about my mother (possibly) having NPD .. how that would have impact on the relationships between all her children.. and prevented a suicide attempt, a year later. It would have given me a greater understanding that the problem was not at all mine to fix.. and that I was worthy enough of love.

Don't go to college and get a useless liberal arts degree. Become an elementary school teacher. (I would have been a good teacher.)

I get that. To me fifteen year old self Don't go to college until you actually know what you want to do! You don't want to rack up debt for a degree you'll never earn because you didn't think you're decision through. Oh, and don't listen to the advice you got about being a massage therapist. It was wrong. So very wrong. There was nothing wrong with your plans to pursue a career in massage therapy. Go for it! __________________ Blerd Girl |

High school won't last forever. And grades aren't everything. There's music, art, games, friends and family. Also, don't be so boy crazy.

Honestly? Nothing. Aside from my severely messed up home environment (which I couldn't change, so stayed away as much as possible) 15 was a blast. I wish I could go back there now and be happy again.
