I would tell 2nd grade me that there is nothing horribly wrong with them and that their emotional dysregulation is an ADHD symptom and that they aren’t insane

I'd go back and tell myself that these thoughts and feelings I'm experiencing aren't normal.
I have depression and anxiety, and I've had them for so long that I thought they were completely normal. Maybe it wouldn't be so severe now if I knew what was going on earlier, I probably could've stopped a few things that I did

At 18: You’re going to make a lot of mistakes. You’re going to meet cruel people who do horrific things to you, to people you love. The temptation to just buckle is going to be great, but you will overcome everything you’ve dealt with. You’re far stronger than you think. And one day, you will be able to help people when they struggle, as you’ve gone through similar experiences. Those people may not have very many people in their corner, but you will be a constant for them.

Also, learn to budget. You’re terrible with money, and you’re broke AF in the future. Start saving.

I'd choose my 5 year old self, and tell her about what was going to happen in a few years (ADHD diagnosis, among others) and that I wasn't weird for that. I'd also tell her to not talk to one kid, and try to be more friendly to everyone else.

I think when I was 8. I would have tried my hardest to explain to myself that just because I see the world differently doesn't mean something is wrong with me.
It's okay, little star-heart.
Maybe could have saved myself years of trust issues, depression, anxiety, and a ton of self-hate.
