Regrets?

just seems totally messed up that happened and that you think it was the best. This world makes people feel like they shouldn't have anything because they are not "good enough" ... I don't like it.

That is entirely on you. Why would I wish a suicidal, messed up person like me, on the person I loved the most in this life? She deserves better. Maybe I would have been happier with her for the past ten years, but I made a decision and I lived with it.

Being coerced into sobriety. I know it helps a lot of people but the only time I've felt truly happy, content, at peace, etc. has been on drugs even including the many years before I ever touched anything.

 

[Imaginos]

Can't have regret over things you had no power over in the first place. So i pretty much don't regret anything. Going back isn't possible either so regret is futile.

My whole life is one giant regret. It's been a very sad experience and I hope it doesn't last much longer. I feel so ashamed to even ever have existed most days.

You can't really regret being born and the things that happened to you when you where younger because you had no power over these things. You where too young to make drastic lifechanging choises. Then when growing up (teens) you made choises that where greatly influenced by what happened in the years before. Also each time you have to make a choice you do what you think at that time is best. So why regret all these things? It's not your fault your childhood was ruined by other people. No amount of regret in the world has ever changed anything .. what's done is done (unfortunatly)

 

[Final Escape]

I guess you are right but it doesn't change the reality that I made bad decisions and my current suffering is a result of this. I'm sure I could improve my life somewhat but I feel like there's nothing that would make the suffering worthwhile to continue. I can look forward to old age, increasing poverty, loneliness, and isolation.

 

[Doqtress]

What is your biggest regret in life? Mine is getting stuck so far deep in the mental health system so deep that they screwed up my physical health big time. If you could go back and do anything over what would it be?

sorry you're physically screwed :(
my biggest regret was not exiting the world last year

"freedom" of the human will... one of the most prominent illusions featured in the haphazard Homo sapiens experience:





https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Growing_block_universe : "For instance, Forrest (2004) argues that although there exists a past, it is lifeless and inactive."

Fucking up my relationship and not getting a second chance....I never cheated. I focused too much on school and didn't quit smoking among various other reasons. I love him and I can't go on without him. I fucking hate this summer.

 

[Vvcv]

I regret not having more fun with the time I have been given, everything else was beyond repair.

 

[misunderst0od]

I also regret not doing it a month ago...with more time the more antsy and questionable I become.

 

[Gray Wounds]

"No regrets" => is my motto. Besides, I believe that regretting anything doesn't do any good. It cannot change what has been and what hasn't been.

 

[Deleted_9cKnXB34QG]

I had to push away the one guy I loved.
I regret it every day but it was for the best. I'm such a worthless, toxic piece of shit, I didn't deserve him. I would only make him feel worse with my negativity and grim outlook on life.

My biggest regret is failing a CTB attempt with a friend in '14, we were too naive to work out how to buy N. I found out how to buy it years after that attempt. So have put up with a medical condition since '13 and now truly ready to CTB.

 

[BlackDragonof1989]

Finding out the depth of my own depravity and shallowness, my hollowness, and fakeness, but in a way I don't regret it sometimes I feel as though it's fate.

Does N expire?

Not accepting mental help as a teen. I'm getting help now but in my heart, it's too late.

Being born is a pretty big regret

 

[borntodie777]

Being born is probably my biggest regret or taking up someone's place who would've been more deserving.

In the end suicide is a big waste of time, money and affection people spent on you as a person. Part of me feels bad that all that money, all that effort, all those sleepless nights I spent studying, worrying about stupid things.. they would nothing when I stop breathing.

I regret the waste that this life has been if it makes sense.

 

[Redt2go]

I regret the damage I unknowingly caused others. I've hurt so many people. I'm going to isolate myself in the future though so that I don't continue to hurt others

 

[Pulpit2018]

Aside from the usual being born?I was too passive and distracted.I did not react enough.I did not get out of bad situations fast enough.I did not read enough.Perhaps i was too optimistic.

 

[Psilo]

I deeply regret that I'm still roaming this godforsaken world. Poor me, booohooo.

No seriously, no ragrets.

[couragetodie]

It's easy to say what I regret in hindsight. Fact is, I have a hard time discerning what I did wrong from what was out of my control. This whole notion of mental illness, depression and so-forth — "it's not your fault," etc. There's a 100 things I regret doing / not doing but regret implies one has complete control over one's actions, thoughts, decisions. Idk: when I am not depressed, I believe I have great control over my life, when depressed I feel as though I am under it's control. So I don't know. If I knew with certainty I was always in control of my life and didn't truly suffer from this disease known as depression then I would have a mountain of regrets: that said, every time I think of a regret I realize that I was likely in a state of depression when I did or didn't do the thing.

If i can go back and change a one thing, i change my lifestyle. I was very fat many years and it destroyed my health forever. Now my backbone is damaged, and i have big pains. Now i know the saying "we have only one health!!!". But now it is too late.

 

[Whatshername]

Sorry for mistakenly posting this in the wrong thread a few minutes ago.

Like most people, I have regrets. I have made some bad decisions, I have hurt people I Ioved. It was often unintentional, a consequence of lack of self awareness. If I could take some of it back, I would happily do so.

Ultimately though, it wouldn't change the spot I'm in now, as I didn't ask for severe depression, fibro and practically all my loved ones dying in the span of less than a decade. Regrets are useless in my case.
