How do I make up for it?

4 months ago · 2 · Advice, +2

I made some really, really, really dumb decisions in the past 2 years. I'm trying to amend what I can of my mistakes now and take my final opportunity, but of course I've lost the trust of literally everyone around me, and I do deserve it. My mum cries sometimes, still dwelling on how I went so wrong, and I don't know how to comfort her. It's difficult to watch her ill and depressed and to know that I caused the latter but I can't say anything to her as she doesn't trust my words anymore. I know my mistakes though and I do wonder what the heck I was thinking back then. I just want life to return to how it used to be.

    I have good news for you. You're still breathing and you still have life. You can live one day at a time and consciously try to do better. You know that the decisions you made weren't great. So if you know what those actions were try not to do them and you will already be a better version of yourself. It will take time to undo any hurt, so just try to be better everyday, everyone will see that you're trying, hopeful and naturally it could cause a positive chain reaction. its ok if its difficult, making any kind of change is never easy but as long as you keep trying and never give up, you've won half the battle. I wish you all the best!

    It would be nice if we could get in a time machine and go back in time to change certain things of the past. But that's not how life works, and things won't fully ever be like they used to as life is an ever changing process, but that doesn't mean it can't improve over time. No one on here can tell you what would be best for you to do to make amends as that's a personal matter, and none of us knows your story. Maybe you should talk with your mum and ask her. Take care.

    That's how I feel lately. I don't even feel real or like I'm capable of emotions anymore. Nothing is exciting or fun anymore...even the things that I used to be...
