When you keep feeling guilty about something you've done in the past for a long time. Guilt of of a simple, silly or big mistake. What do you do?

I don't know. You are supposed to forgive yourself and let go of the past, but I haven't been able to do that and there are times when I want to scream and kick myself in the head for massively fuck1ng up in the past.
I guess the best you and I can do is decide to do better and make sure not to repeat our previous mistakes.

Even if I eventually forget one mistake, another one will still pop up.

You and I are imperfect, so stop expecting perfection. It's a tough world out there. Just do the best you can and make a point of learning from your mistakes.

You are most likely dealing with clinical depression and the way around it is go see a professional mental health therapist to help get you on best treatment for your particular case.

Most likely ruminations associated with depression.

I don't think it's necessary. Everyone feels guilt. I just wanna know how to control it.

Counseling is a form of treatment and in Counseling you learn ways to identify your triggers and better manage them..

You can always focus your mind on tackling each of your guilt and Shame by yourself in any way you can except repressing them....but again... I will only recommend professional care this because I have seen how many fail at properly handling their mental health related issues.

OK. Thank you!

It's the fact that my brain could have playback of the event/s even after I have forgiven myself years after, that hurts me more....


Really wish I could have amnesia just to get rid of some old replays in my brain (Just a silly thought)....sometimes tho..
