Not going straight to Scotland to see the girl I loved as soon as she got back from travelling, even though I wasn't invited. Instead I took a step back, I didn't want to bug her, so she met someone else and completly forgot me. Also because she never saw me when she got back, numerous misunderstandings occured via text and email so I lost her as a freind too. Its this loss of a freind that really broke my heart. This put me into a depressed state that has affected me badly, unable to enjoy life, quit my Phd, but also those around me. I have also confused every girl I have met since. I have also fallen out with my mum, the depression I have makes it difficult to rebuild our relationship to the point where I might be able to go home. At the momment rent is morethan I can afford and I am meeting no new people. Basically its been difficult to move on, becasue I didn't buy that ticket to go see her as soon as she got back.

Wow, Nicola, you like to get right down to the hard questions, huh? Well, I will try to be honest. Some years ago my life was at a turning point. I was young but I didn't know it. I thought I was so smart and so deep. So I let good person walk out of my life and I headed down a path of sorrow and confusion. In many ways, I have never returned. I will always regret saying what I said and doing what I did. I was really stupid and I will live, as will everyone around me, with the consequences.

My biggest regret in life was being so reckless with myself when I was a teenager. I made very poor life choices and still pay for them tto this day. My children are the ones that suffer for these life choices I made so long ago. I have to deal with the consequences, but I chose to act that way, so I can accept the stigmas of society. They didn't do anything, but they will still have to deal with teasing at school, gossip, and the stigmas of having me as a mom.

Not having the guts to make a move.
The ones I wanted closest cant be close, and now I have to keep people further away.
It sounds self destructive, but I have my reasons.

I do not regret over my past actions.I have understood something in the course of life[results of actions] and on the basis of that understanding I decide my future course of action.There is no point in brooding over the regrets except weakening your mind.I f my action has adversely affected anybody, I apologize and try to avoid such actions in future.

Not ever being called 'mum'..... had 2 failed marriages due to fertility problems, which were not down to me, thankfully, but now at nearly 42, i wont ever b a mum..... have tried for over 20yrs to achieve this goal, but have never accomplished it. I now feel i wudnt be able to give a child the full quality of life it would need, so have had the 'depo prevera' injection.
The impact it had on my life was major depression, which continues to this day, my family try to understand me, but i think i'm a burden to them....

Being deceived into a cult and losing many years of not being in touch with my family.
They weren't even aware that I was in a cult, I never divulged that to them because I didn't know for the longest time that it was a cult and they won't even have a clue what that is all about anyways. So they won't even be affected by it.

That I was too afraid of asking the first woman I loved to go out with me. And I found that she had another boyfriend, and was very angry with myself because she used to like me and I never told her what I felt. This made me become a little isolated and that affected my life.

Nicola,
Probably squandering a large amount of money on daft things.
(helicopter & cars & holidays, no druggy stuff)
I wish I had it all back to try again, but there you go.
Can't have it both ways I suppose.
As to your other point, I suppose that family wondered what on earth I was thinking, which caused a bit of concern at the time, but no lasting problems.
Me ? still cheerful ! ( If still a bit wild around the edges)
