Self-Forgiveness - A Short Video Message & Discussion

I wish I knew how to forgive myself. For years all I've done is dwell on my errors and faults. It seems like the more I think about it, the more the guilt takes away from my well-being. The people I've hurt have all forgiven me, but I haven't.

@Laura It's hard to forgive. I know it's the best thing to do for yourself because you get a big burden off your shoulders and you have peace of mind and better relationships. At first, fine. You forgive. But then it happens again and again and again and again. And you get used to it, being hurt. So then you do things you regret later. And that's aside from all the things every day you do and say and wish you hadn't. And you are imperfect and you begin to hate yourself. And you realize that the reason you are the way you are, even with others, is because you haven't forgiven yourself first. And honestly, it's the hardest person to forgive.

From the last two days, I'm having these outbursts. I would suddenly start remembering all my mistakes and freak out. Even cried while panicking. My thoughts were getting more and more scary and full of self blame.

I tried forgiving myself and almost succeeded too. Like you said, i really felt free, hopeful and optimistic. But then my sister said something and i was back to where I was. That was all it took. Still struggling with it.

It feels so bad when i can't be fully happy when they accomplish something. A part of me instantly start screaming at myself that see they are already placed in big companies and where you are? Still in college and still lost.

I hate these thoughts and when i can't stop them, they become worse. It makes me feel so helpless that i lock myself in room and cry.

I can't forgive me and i can't love myself

I struggle to forgive self blame from the way treat me.

@Powerfulbecky67 I forgiveness myself for not being confident and not having faith in myself.
