    Thanks jack. Ive been doing meditation and sitting with my feelings. It does feel like someone’s punched me in the gut. I cant sleep well or eat well though I really want to.

    Im just scared to be alone and that he wa my last shot of a great guy. My friends will soon get married to their partners. Being by myself is ok but it gets tiring too you know. I dont know if I should continue to pursue this guy or just walk away.

    Hello Anita. We’ve all hurt someone in our lives. I see that you are already trying to make up for your past actions. That is good. What helped me lessen the guilt before is to write a letter to people I’ve wronged. I sobbed and couldn’t finish writing. It was so so painful. But it helped me even for a tiny bit. You are human and have emotions.

    Hi anita and annie. It kind of snowballs when I panic. My boss calls me careless. I tell him that I really am concentrating everyday but mistakes still happen. My workplace is less forgiving I think because people keep drilling us to overperform. I am thinking of quitting but I dont know. Maybe my next job will be worse than my current job. So I stay.

    Hello! The future, when you’re 30 might actually be better, or not better. We can’t really tell. What you can do is improve on the now.
    Though our events are different, I understand your frustration and pain. You’re trying to recover then bam! Another problem comes along. A couple of years ago, my therapist told me to do little things that prove that I am capable, to make me feel empowered when I feel helpless. It’s not a quick fix but it helped me boost my mood even for tiny bit. This might be drawing, cooking a meal, just anything to start to make me feel not worthless even for a brief moment of the day. What activity are you good at?

    The more general advice is to exercise to release those happy hormones.

    Hi Axuda

    I am sorry to hear about your wife. I think we have some similar parts that we are both trying to make our partner happy, but in the end had to let them go. It is nice to know that you forgave her and that you are now focusing your time and energy on other parts of your life. With that much effort that you are willing to put, I am sure that your next partner will be lucky to have you.

    Since he cant react, I reacted for him by being very disappointed in myself instead. I think you are right that I should start self forgiveness. I’m not special. No one is perfect, and we all have regrets. Thank you for your post.

    Hello Inky
    Yes I really try hard everyday to stay kind. So moments where I slip are unforgivable for me. I feel like a hypocrite since it was so unlike me to behave that way.
    Thank you for reminding me as well that I’m only human and make mistakes along the way. Thank you for the tip as well. I never really thought about approaching it in a light manner to save his feelings.

    I’m also enduring after a breakup. I know the feelings are awful postBU.

    Why did he think that he was a stone around your neck? I don’t think keeping in touch with him will help you and him heal though. Maybe you can try to be friends after a few months, but not now.
