If you did something REALLY REALLY bad in the past and you did not want to tell anyone about but you are constantly thinking about it and it is eating you up from the inside. What would you do? I don't think I could ever tell any1 what I did. I fell so ******** bad about it, sometime I want to die because of it. I did it about 7 years ago, i think, i don't even remember, but every day I think about what I did and it hurts me so much to think about it. I get this really bad feeling inside of my stomach when I think about it and it hurts me, not physically but mentally. This is something I could NEVER tell any1 about, but I really hope people can forgive me for my idiotic actions, but I can't find it in me to forgive myself. I don't think I will ever forgive myself for it.

First of all , 'forgiveness' has to come from
the heart. If you can't 'forgive' yourself, then
how are you able to forgive another for their
actions ??????
Secondly, most people have done something
soooo terrible that it 'eats' at them like a cancer,
but, you have to take in consideration the when...
where....how....why....and to whom it all happened.
Then look inside yourself and ask "Would you do
that again, today ?????". If you've answered with
a 'no', then you've grown in maturity.
You don't 'have to tell' anyone....but you have to
come clean with yourself...... and that's some
thing that many 'soldiers' fail to do after returning
from combat. My heart carries a scar that is 40
years old....and yes, I remember as clear as if
it happened yesterday.

If you aren't willing to forgive yourself, you will never get past it. You've got to start living in the here and now. Thinking about the past every day of your life and letting it tear you up inside is taking away from you living now! The past is gone and you cannot change what you did or what happened so all you can do is to ask for forgiveness and to forgive yourself. It was a long time ago and you were young and not the same person you are today. We all do things we aren't proud of in life but we have to move on. The best thing to do is to promise yourself that nothing like that will ever happen again, forgive yourself and promise to live a better life from here on out and then do it. Worrying about the past is senseless. Living for today and looking forward to a brighter future is going to get you a lot farther in life and you will be a much happier person.
You are worth it and living without the guilt is worth it. Good luck to you.

Do something to make it right - if that's not possible, pay it forward - do something really hard to make someone else's life better - then forgive yourself.
