Shame

Today I am filled with shame of all the wrong doings I did in the past. I am obsessing over them. I tried writing them down to get them out of my head but it not working..I feel like a horrble person today.I don't know what to do to get back on track, I can't seem to forgive myself for my bad behaviors..Anyone else ever feel this way? How do you get past it?

Yeah any reflection on past manic events will bring this up and a lot of self loathing that goes with it for sure....

It's a bummer but we all need to move on because there isn't much we can do to change the past.

Love yourself Cheryl!

You are not alone in your feelings of shame. I'm sure we have all been there. I can only speak for myself, but I get down on my knees and ask for forgiveness for my sins. I only have to ask once in order to be forgiven. Hugs

I've had this feeling too many times... I've found looking at myself as I would look at someone else helps...

So when I read your post I want you to treat yourself gently... We are all imperfect and we've all made wrong decisions at times... It's important to grow and learn from these mistakes
They can be a source of learning for the future.... Big hug and a blessing...x

    Woke up feeling very emotional and about to clock in at my place of employment. And can't place it all in writing but not been a good experience with my store manager or his boss. Defamation of my character is a concern. I've been losing appetite and weight. Trying to perform at work to keep myself from hospitalization as a result of toxic masculinity.
