Sad & Empty

[80s_Fan]

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.
