Has anybody ever made a huge mistake that they wish, they could take back?
Now years later, you've tried to fix it but, it's too late. Well, I did and now I feel sad and empty; feel really low, and totally hate myself. I really messed up big time.

I don't feeling like talking about it right now. All I will say is that I ended a friendship and now once again, she told me to leave her alone; she wants nothing to do with me ever again. It can't be fixed; I blew it (big time).

Who else has been through this and/or is going through this kind of situation?
Any tips, suggestions, that could help me deal with it?

Thanks :(

I have but sometimes you have to let it go and make a resolution to learn from what happened. Never push for something to happen, because my experience is this tends to. Also, time has a way of healing old wounds. So perhaps that person will eventually come around now that you made the overture. The seeds been planted.....maybe it will grow.

:( Don't be sad just try not to think about it. Try to keep yourself busy with other things.

A lot of times. But I usually just wallow in my own self-pity and beat myself up over how much of a moron I am. You may just have to chalk it up to a learning experince and move on. Stuff like this does make us stronger.

Been through it more times than I care to mention. I know how you feel. One thing that helps (somewhat) is the fact that I know I can't change what happened. What's done is done. I know that's small consolation when you feel broken inside, but as a long-term strategy, it kind of works for me. I know it won't change the reality; I mean, I still have to live with the regret, but it's not as paralizing, somewhow. In other words, I'm not going to let it determine my present or future. I hope this is helpful.
