only regret fills my mind

you feel the same???????????

No, I used to be like that kinda but then again what would I gain from being in regret all the time, it's good for learning from what you did and all that but it's depressing so I usually don't think much about it but I do feel regret sometimes.

I feel the same quite often.

Even when I know that a significant amount of what I regret was never my own fault to begin with, I still feel intense regret.

I am not sure where I am going with this. I am not sure how much this will help. But I am right there with you at this very moment. And I hope that knowing you are not alone in this is some consolation. I care about you for we are in the same ship, and I want to do what I can so we do not drown when the ship sinks.

Not sure how helpful this post is, but I know we can both work our way out of this.

Yes. Always. But, there's nothing I can do about it. Why does it bother me if there's nothing I can do about it?

Yes. Six decades of regret but there are good decisions, also. I just tend to focus on or be haunted by the regrets.

we are here [in this hellworld called "earth"] to learn, and without the tough lessons we would have no regrets but neither would we have learned anything. so in this case we must take the good along with the bad, and eventually we will learn that they are both opposite sides of the same coin.

I regret complaining about my wife. Everything was going so well, I just needed to work through some emotions. I should have just kept working at that stupid juice box factory rather than ask Jackie for a break like she had at my expense. I regret wanting to get back at her by being lazy. I really was writing a novel though and if it sold well we could have even bought a house outright rather than through debt. I regret most not being able to know how to win back Jackie's heart.

I'm sorry you had to have that pain in your life.

unfortunately, as is oft repeated, "blood is thicker than water." that is one of the reasons I used the term "exceptional" as in a deviation from the rule, that family is closer than anybody outside of family such as a BF or husband. at least one can take some cold comfort from the fact that this kind of pain is perennial and everywhere. one is not alone in one's pain. a WP person soon tired of me as well.

(clicky)here is something which partially restores my faith in bits and pieces of humanity

a lonely women threw a birthday party for herself but nobody else came, so out of desperation she ordered a pizza with cute, and the pizza place delivered in spades!

That's cool.
