i made the mistake of having sex before i was ready and i cannot seem to forgive myself for it. i had sex with my boyfriend, who i am absolutely crazy insane about, on January 16 and i have stressed myself out beyond belief. I cannot seem to stop beating myself up about it. I only think about it when i am alone. I dont know what to do. we used a condom and he didnt finish and it was 5 days before my period (which came on time and was normal) so i really dont think i am pregnant. I have read the bible constantly and prayed to God for forgivness but i just feel empty inside. i regret doing it so much but it's my own fault because i didn't stop it. It was a mutual decision and i thought i was ready. But i wasn't and now i am paying for it.

You have to learn to live with your regrets. I know that it can be hard, but it's over and done and that is one thing you can't take back. If you are a Christian then you know God forgives you if you confess your sins and you are truly sorry. I'm sure that you have learned from this and you will be better thought out decisions in the future. Everybody makes mistakes, people do things and wish they didn't all the time. It is normal that you feel upset, but let it go, and stop beating yourself up about it. This does not make you a bad person and your life is not ruined. You'll be ok.

Cut yourself some slack. You made a mistake, you know that, so quit beating yourself up. It is time to move on, forgive your mistake. Now you know what to do, follow your good judgment. Do not react quickly, think before you act. Forgive yourself, God has.
