Do you live with regrets?

I think it’s a fairly common human experience. In the past I had regrets. I now regret nothing and have no remorse. I’d do some of the same things again. It’s not very authentic to live with regrets.

I try to focus negatively on past events, so I don’t regret much. That is not to say that I wouldn’t do some things differently if I had the chance to do things over though.

I wish I could take back all the hurtful things I’ve said and done to other people. :sob:

I only regret spilling coffee all over myself, the chair, the table, and the floor, at the cafe we just ate at. :cry: (sigh) So embarrassing. I felt bad that they had to clean up my mess.

please don’t lead this to abortion. it’s against the rules, and the religious are basically banned from here.

As a perfectionist, I must say I do.

I have few regrets. I’ve done some stupid things and learned my lesson the hard way but I learn, improve and move on. I don’t fret over the the past and I do my best to plan for the future.

I can’t imagine living as a perfectionist. It must be really tough.

I don’t regret the things I did, I regret the things I didn’t do.

Yes of course I have regret but

I accept them and try my best to move on

If I dwell on my regrets

Then that would just be a huge regret in itself

I have so many regrets, since I was a mess for a long time, but I know I could have ended up much worse, and I’m happy with where I am at.

When I’m in distress my regrets haunt me like mini flashbacks, and I find it hard to sleep, but on a normal day I choose not to dwell on them.

I spilled on another person when I was working banquets, after that I picked up the whole cup and saucer to fill coffee.

A couple - shines a dull light on me.

I cannot deny, since becoming unwell it has been. I will be starting therapy soon to address/ treat my perfectionism.

Yea it must be a hellish way to live. I hope therapy helps.

Thank you. I am not optimistic but hopeful. They believe that this is why I cannot accept the fact that I have become schizophrenic

Yes, I do. I’ve learned it’s not good to dwell on the past thinking about what I could’ve done differently. Nowadays I just think of the past as memories of my life before schizophrenia. It’s the same old story with me. I try not to give it much thought.
