Holy Moses–one year!! And, really, no one HAS to respond, nor do they HAVE TO subscribe to this site. They CHOSE to…. Gheesh.
If I could tell my younger self at 22 some of the things I know now (almost 30 years later):
Stay in school.
Cultivate a lot of friends.
Don’t be so catty and judgmental of others.
Stash away 10% of any money you receive (not just paychecks).
Start a retirement fund very young.
Invest in good heels (preferably stacked heels–those don’t get marred/torn as easily as others); same with a good suit and/or separates.
Call your parents often.
Call your siblings (if applicable) often–even if it’s just for a few minutes.
Date a lot of people and don’t put so much emphasis on just one person.
Don’t get married before 27.
Don’t have babies after 38.
Exercise regularly.
Don’t get blackout drunk, but do have a good buzz going on from time to time.
Attend and host get-togethers often.
Donate to charities (money and/or time).
Moisturize, moisturize, moisturize and DO NOT bake in the sun, especially without sunscreen.
Accept that others will make mistakes, just as you do.

Ok, I’m just gonna open the cinnamon roll vodka….
Unfortunately, this has become a case of any advice or explanation given and is laid out in the simplest of terms being ignored and argued with. The total sum of help is being brushed aside, while cherry-picking certain of the words in the advice and is then construed as an attack. I don’t know what can be done to make her see that. Perhaps that’s why therapy and/or meds have not worked. From what I see on this thread (and I’m not an expert—but I think 69 pages of this back-and-forth is pretty telling), the refusal to be open to LISTENING to advice as a whole and instead taking individual words as an attack will never have a productive outcome.
