Dealing with guilt/regret

[ashaya]

Hey all

 

I was turned down after two weeks by a girl who ha really like me for ages, and it's made me really look at myself, and it's thrown my life into chaos.

 

It made me realise that I've kinda messed up the last 8 years of my life. I won't go into details but I've been uncommitted to things, very irresponsible, dishonest, and I never really embraced being an adult. I've been living in a bubble of denial about the whole thing, and it burst, and now I feel terrible.

 

I've recognised what habits I need to change, and have changed my life accordingly, so I feel like I'm on the right track, but at the beggining of a long journey of self improvement.

 

I know I'll eventually feel better but things are awful right, how does one get through a phase like this?

 

Thanks

Firstly, respect to you for being brave enough and honest enough to recognize that you need to make changes and for seeking to make those changes. This is half the battle won. You have to take each day as it comes. Making life-long changes does not happen over night. Each day that passes the feelings you feel now will subside and vanish into nothingness.

Thanks for the support I'm just banking on the idea that longer I stick with good habits, the better I'll feel.

You will and good habits will yield good results which will create a better life in the future.

Its really good that you at least accepted things. Very mature of you. You just need to be consistent in giving up your bad habits and keeping up with good work.

 

Keep in mind that :
