I'd also tell my younger self to get help sooner when the symptoms did start.\ I'd tell her to be kind to herself, to stop beating herself up and that she deserved good things no matter what the ugly voice in there said. I'd tell her to do her best to live and fight the monster and save her adult self. It kills me so much that I can't go back and warn her.
