I feel this way a lot of times but truth is everyone makes mistakes just no one really talks about it I don’t know why not we all do. Don’t be too hard on yourself. Do you suffer from anxiety? I do it tends to make me make mistakes a lot. Taking a mindfulness class helped me learn how to not let anxiety get in the way as much if that is contributing maybe you can check it out if you haven’t already they have a ton of directional videos and apps out there to help . I hope as your day moves on you don’t feel as down.

Thank you for the kind words. I’ve just struggled with my mind for so so many years that it’s getting old quickly. I’m not sure how much longer o can keep going.

I remember the time where I thought I was helping my boss to deposit a very important cheque. I was young and inexperienced, never done anything bank related before. After depositing the check, later that day my boss was looking high and low for it in his office. Imagine his eyes bulging out when I told him what I did. He ordered me back to the bank to try retrieve it, which by that point was impossible. What's worse, I didn't have a car so it means I'd have to walk in my high heels to the bank. I almost cried when I called his secretary and told her of my mistake, and thankfully, she somehow managed to save my day. Needless to say, my boss didn't like me very much after that (he never did in the first place anyway).

Your feelings reminded me of that awful day and I really sympathize with you. We all make mistakes, big and small, but I think the best way to deal with it is acknowledging the mistake, learn from it and move on. The only thing about the past is that we learn from it. I know you feel awful right now, but it will pass. Be strong and carry forward.

I know how you feel... I'm very self-critical and I hold myself to high standards. I'm a perfectionist. It sounds like you're that way too. The thing is, it's impossible to do everything right all the time. It's a very hard fact to accept. I know you probably acted with integrity and were doing what you thought was right. The best thing to do right now is just learn what to do instead next time and not beat yourself up.

Thank you for responding. I feel like I screw up like this all the time, and don’t even realize it until it effects someone else. I was so depressed today that I took pills and drank alcohol to pass out. I guess God wanted me to wake back up.

Look people make mistakes from big to small. Take a few minutes, figure out what went wrong, process, analysis, make some suggestions to yourself about improvement and then try to call it a day on this.

Everyone makes mistakes. It's noble that you even care because I know a lot of people who makes mistakes at work and don't care at all. I'm repeating here but I wouldn't be so hard on yourself. You're doing the best you can. That's all you can do and it's plenty good enough.

I know what it's like to make mistakes and feel inadequate. Yes we all make mistakes, but for me I tend to take it as a reflection of my value as a person rather than just a bump in the road. Please message me if you need to talk. Love and hugs.
