I can completely appreciate this question, as it is one that has haunted me for most of my life.

The key to this is the realization and acceptance that you cannot undo what has been done, but you can affect what has not yet come to be. Focus on what you can do, rather than on what you cannot. Strive to act consistently with your values.

Yeah, that makes it sound so simple, doesn't it? But that is where it starts - redirecting your thoughts away from regret and towards recovery. It isn't easy.

Seeing a therapist probably would help get you through this.
