How do I move on from my regrets?

Recently things happened in my life where I made the wrong choices many times in a row, which resulted in a lot of regret that I’m not sure how to deal with. I know I can’t change the past, but it feels very hard to move on.

Dear @user7419

Thank you for bringing this up. I can sense how disappointed you are feeling about past choices you made. Please know you are not alone and it’s very human to make wrong choices. Many times, I have seen that we only realise it’s a wrong choice on hindsight. At the time of making the choice we genuinely believed it was right.

Please be kind and compassionate to yourself. I sincerely believe you did not know better at that time.

It would be good to speak to a counsellor to process the regrets you are experiencing. Counsellors provide a safe, non judgmental space for to air out your feelings and they are trained to support you in gaining new insights. Trusted family members or friends who care can also help you during this challenging period. Do reach out for support soon and improve your wellbeing.:yellow_heart:
