You have to be fully aware that you have no control over the past and that it cannot be changed, this might be saddening but if you really thought it through you will find that it isn't. How? Well, I bet you learnt a lot from your mistakes, and that something inside you have changed and your thoughts and mind got more broadened, that you started to see a lot of thing differently and understand more things and the people around you. and I'm sure mistakes taught you to have self discipline and put some thought to what you say and do and make you a better person for yourself and the people around you. Mistakes could bring you down and destroy your entire life and make you lose the people around you, However, you always have the potential to turn that to your side and fix everything, you just need to be strong and have patience to achieve that. I hope you do well and be able to deal with what you did to forgive yourself, and please know that mistakes doesn't define us, it's the way we try to fix them. :)

You need to realise that you are not the same person today as you were in the past. You are only human and us humans, we make mistakes. It does no good to dwell in the past, since what's done is done. Promise yourself not to make the same mistake again.

Learn all your mistakes. Forgive and forget. Of course, sometimes those thoughts will pass by, but we can't help it, can we? Just move on, and life will be better.

Everyone makes mistakes and everyone has regrets, so we're all in the same boat. Dont stress over it or think about it too much, just concentrate on making your future happy

Don't hold onto shame, or guilt, focus on what you learnt from that mistake, forgive yourself, and let go of any negative emotion towards yourself. We all make mistakes, you deserve forgiveness.

Take out a piece of paper, and write down what you regret doing in the past. Then, write down reasons why you should forgive yourself. You can then fold the paper, and keep it in a diary, or somewhere close to you. Whenever you think of your past mistakes and feel the overwhelming sense of guilt, take out the paper and read it. Hope this helps. :)

By keep on thinking that those mistakes will never make you a bad person , those mistakes made the who you are now , you don't have to hide it or feel ashamed of it , NEVER FEEL ASHAMED OF YOUR OWN MISTAKES , because we are human and we all sin , and mistakes makes us better version of us , it makes us realize the very deep in life , you should trust yourself that you are a good person and you are doing your best and keep in mind , Every saint was a sinner and every sinner has a future , love yourself and don't be so cruel on it because it deserves the best

Learn to accept that you made mistakes, but also realize nobody is perfect and that you can always try again as long as you do your best to repent.
