This needs to be higher

Took me 26 years to stop. Been off it 18 years now..

Fun fact: did you know that until the mid-70s ish the Mormon religion considered African people to be evil! It’s true! They preached it until they came under fire by the adolescent Civil Rights movement, where that exact night god spoke to the head of church and said black people weret evil after all! What a craaaaaazy coincidence!

Dogs are better people than people..

Yes. Or moving away. I had the opportunity to get as far away from my toxic family as possible but I squandered it. I finally did many years later but I wish I had done it sooner.

I started learning Italian at 47, so there is never too late to fix the old errors.

¡Buena suerte!

Schools too often focus on the jobs market but skills like this are necessary for life..

Taking care of your teeth saves money too!

This is so relatable...

We, who quite possibly WERE the wrong persons, apologize.

Good luck, OP!!

Thing is, I'm 14 and I know I need it, but I just can't access it because of my parents. Also because they are a significant part of WHY I need therapy.

Live your life and have stories and experiences to tell and share with your kids. (if possible)

Same here. It came back to bite me (no pun intended) when I developed diabetes.

I did this in my final year of college which is not long ago. Tried so hard to maintain friendships, including with an ex. I still suffer to this day over the reputation and life I ruined of mine over people who never cared or respected me.

My grandson got on ADHD at 25 - makes me cry when I think about how much he struggled before. You just have to look forward.

Well youth is a gradual learning process. One cannot be expected to know everything about how to treat the opposite sex the first years of dating.

You can alienate yourself from everyone and everything, but you'll always have yourself with you. So this is the most important person in your life that you need to take care of.

That's a lovely Volkswagen Transporter with camper top, maybe about 1974-1975? Lovely vehicle, I have had several. Lost my virginity in one, thank you.. also learned a lot about mechanicking.

You have to stop beating yourself up over what you aren't before there's room for enjoying who you are.

🎵 Money for nothing and your chicks for free. 🎵

Yes, I hear this. Having kids a bit later when you're stable is always easier. I am truly blessed and luckily didn't feel I was too young either but I saw others struggle..

For mentally health and not crippled by anxiety people only. We wish you a happy gym routine while we’re trying to get up out of bed in the morning.

I'm now 27 and I started to once again do things that made me happy when I was a teen / child. I build Legos, buy Star Wars figures, watch Digimon, visit places I liked when I was younger... granted, it won't bring those years back, but it brings some much needed serotonin.

You are part of a very big club. Soooo hard to ask for help and trust me people that matter will always help you and understand

Depends on the person I guess, I'm like 10 years out of school and I haven't regretted not going, not even once. I had very little connection to those people and they cared more about getting drunk than making memories.

This is anecdotal but the moisturizing / sunscreen part seems to be true. My best friend is in her 70s. I've known her over 50 years. She wears almost no makeup but she has always a light base coat or moisturizer just to protect her face. She has aged SO much more gracefully than her peers and most people guess her age as much younger than her real age. I can't prove how much of that is from the moisturizer but it seems like it helped.

Studying abroad is nice, but overrated. Working abroad is where it's at!
