Any regrets or advice for the future (or past!)?

Back 3 years ago my 7th grade adventures began and if I could have told myself one thing, it would be that I should keep an eye on who would turn out (well around 4 months ago) to be my lovely, sweet girlfriend. She went through a hard time in 7th and 8th grade and fought a lot of things with herself (I won’t go into it but she wasn’t really happy with a lot of things and she didn’t have the right “friends” that would support her) and if I could have just told myself that back in tech class when I first saw her that I should stick around her then I could have made her life a lot better, and then mine now, because I wouldn’t have to face what she went through. Everything is much much better now, but it could have been 3 years ago before it began. That’s what I’d tell myself.
I'd tell myself to hold on. It's going to be okay. I would sit down and explain that all the junk I was going through was not a "me problem" and not me being a horrible kid and a terrible person.
There was tons of stress and I wish I had realized that and dealt with it before the depression claimed 2 years.
I'd also like to show myself where I am now, show me that even though it got really, really dark, it turned out okay.
OMG thats the same with me!, it’s hard to look back at tough times but stay strong and try to just think, it’s all alright now. And if it ever gets hard again, just imagine how it would be if you were looking at how you are from the future when it’s all okay, and just aim high again. Don’t worry, it’s all okay! And most importantly, remember, there is always someone who cares, and always someone you’ll find to help. :)
