It seems now that my depression has lifted a bit but the things my depression brought to surface have still leaved me feeling guilty and not feeling that well. These are things that are just small mistakes but I keep beating myself up for it. Will I eventually find peace because it seems like everyday I go through thinking about it a couple of times a day. Should I use thought replacement and acceptance? Its throwing me down a rabbit hole that I definitely don't want to go down again.

Hi AK,

I'm sorry you're ruminating about the past, but I'm glad you feel a bit better!

In my experience, it's always good to consider the fact that you can't change the past, and to let go and forgive yourself for whatever happened. You could chalk it up to experience, or you could think of ways to make up for whatever you are thinking about. If that isn't possible, maybe you could pay it forward in some way, to help make a difference for someone else in a similar situation.

Take care,

Hi AK,

Sorry to hear you are stuggling with these feelings of guilt weighing you down.:(

B.C. has offered some great suggestions, so try and move foward with these ideas...

...as well as trying some journaling if you've not done so already. Processing your feelings in writing will both help you to accept them, and then let them go...or make changes if necessary to move on, beyond the past.

You can do this on your own...'diary' style...

...or use this worksheet if you find free form writing not to your liking.

Wishing you peace and progress!

Hi AK

How you feeling today?

I am sorry to hear you are struggling with these feelings which I can relate to as I also get depressed about things that have happened in the past but Blu is right you need to forgive yourself for what ever happened so you can move on with your life

Keep us posted
