Personally I am trying to be the best version of myself. It is ongoing work in progress. Whenever appropriate I make amends to people that I have wronged over the years. I feel with a small amount of things that may never get turned to 100% of being resolved, you just have to make your peace with certain things. I believe in the old saying at least applying it to some things “ some bells can never be unrung “ .

By practicing being kind to yourself. Here is some ways you can be kind to yourself: eat nutritious food, exercise, and do an activity that you really enjoy. As you were doing any of these activities tell yourself kind of things. I beat myself up all the time and it’s just not helpful. Also, a loving kindness meditation can help. Beating yourself up for the past is not helpful and does not serve you so it’s OK to let it go and focus on anything that serves you.

@AfraidOfFood For me what helps the most is an exercise routine coupled with lots of fruits and vegetables.

I want to move on and accept my past mistakes, but I feel like truly forgiving myself isn’t acceptable. My therapist says not to judge my past self but seek to understand. But if what I’ve done has gone against my moral values, how exactly do I do this? I’ve learned my lesson, and I just want to move on. But that feels like letting myself off the hook. Any tips or advice??

i need some kind words or maybe some advice? basically i went through trauma as a kid including sexual, and acted out in disturbing ways. I’ve done things i regret. even as an early teenager i did also. the only weird things ive done recently were compulsions and weird ocd driven stuff… but besides that ive found it easy to forgive myself for a lot of stuff because i know myself and my intentions and also talking to people helps. but one thing that’s hard is when im intimate with others or in a relationship. i feel so gross and undeserving like if they knew everything ive done in my life they would hate me. I don’t tell everyone everything, i think i only did that with therapists and like one family member. I feel like if I don’t tell someone everything I’ve done that I regret and see if they forgive me for it, then that means im “hiding” something about me and being malicious. anything helps :(

I’ve posted something vulnerable here before and I’m trying to ride out the wave of reassurance where it’s getting at me and I’m scared of sitting still with nobody to talk to about this at the moment I genuinely think it would be easier if I wasn’t around. I view my friends as pure compared to me and I’m the most impurest. I feel like this would do a favour to stop being here I don’t know what to do, I really don’t know. I’m literally alone in this and I’m getting tired. How do you deal with stupid choices that you made as a child? I’m trying to be understanding of past mistakes but it’s gut wrenching to try and accept to say and admit you did it knowing you’ll spend the rest of your life with that guilt..is there another perspective to this..???
