You know that Allah said that he would forgive anyone who has done anything ( Except Shirk " believing in anything else but him as your God " ) as long as you are really sincere about it , you mean it from the deep bottom of your heart . He is the most Merciful .
I think your problem is that you can't move on with your life after what you have done and you are afraid that others will find about it later and make it even harder for you . That is something that might happen , but are you willing to waste the rest of your life waiting for anyone to find out and expecting their punishment ? I suggest you dedicate yourself to your work , study , family or whatever you are doing with your life , keep very close and good relations with Allah and ask him for Satr ( not being revealed and exposed in front of others ) , try to do charity work and help others and inshaa Allah nothing will go wrong . I truly hope you would find peace

I don't think I can help, because everything will be handled by no one but you. But here's some advice from me.
-You need to consider that nothing can change the past. Not even your guilty feeling
-Think about the effect from your doing
-Think about how to repair the effect if possible
-If it's not, consider that the best way is to be a better person and remember that you should be responsible for your life
It was steps to forgive yourself. Forgiving yourself isn't easy. And about other people who you think will never forgive you... I think they will if they know how you change yourself to a better individual.
I don't know how bad the wrongs you did, but I hope this will help. Well. A little

This is exactly why God does not judge us based on what we do or what we've done. We are all guilty of wrong doing and the only way to get over it is to trust in the Grace given us through Christ Jesus. He paid the price for us already, sin and guilt no longer have mastery over us. You can forgive yourself because Jesus has already forgiven you.

Sally,
As a kid, I grew up pretty religious....I was also raised to fear God, (the same God you refer to as Allah).
The ONLY thing you should consider is how (Allah) would want one of his children (YOU) to live their lives. If you screwed up, it is good to recognize it. But in order to complete the path to redemption, you must change who you are to become what the Ideal person should be like.
In this world there are two paths that diverge and converge on occasion....most of the time they are parallel and coincide.
Reality (very fluid and fast moving), these are situations that happen....in my culture....(America) shiet happens. Have a sense of discretion and move on my friend.
If you can't forgive yourself, how can you possibly learn to forgive others? How can you learn to coexist with others that are different? etc etc.
Then there is the Ideal.....
The Ideal is the best case scenario for any given situation.
Well, life is cruel so we are forced to deal with things given the worst case scenario.
Try and find a way to be happy and focus on positive changes. And most importantly, treat others as you want to be treated.
God bless.

I don't remember the exact words but there is a great Muslim parable that talks of God's mercy. It goes something like this.
No matter how far one runs away from God (Allah) as soon as that person turns around in repentance God (Allah) is right there ready to forgive.
I don't remember the reference for this but it is credited to Mohamed (Peace be upon him).

Jesus paid for all your sins including those that you said that you can't forgive yourself. The Bible says that when Jesus enter in your live, even if your sins are red He wipes out as white as snow. For your sins He(Isa) paid with the ultimate sacrifice so when you are in front God your sins and transgression He will remember no more and will put your sins as far as the east from the west. Jesus is the key, that when we were still enemies he paid for your sins and mine.

Don't listen to the other one. Allah, as you said, forgives and if you are truly sorry, then you are forgiven. If any Doubts continue, consult an Imam, he will not be angry and can help you more.

If you are forgiven by your God, why do you feel the need to be forgiven by man? Perhaps in order to forgive yourself, you need to repair if at all possible that which you harmed.
Seek God (Allah) first. He will lead you.

Turn to Jesus, Only Jesus can remove such pain.
2Cr 2:10 To whom ye forgive any thing, I forgive also: for if I forgave any thing, to whom I forgave it, for your sakes forgave I it in the person of Christ;
Jesus saves
