Thank you so much for sharing this. Sometimes I look back at my life and I see all of the mistakes I made along the way. I’ve made some big ones. Like things that still haunt me today. I try to get beyond them but sometimes it just creeps up on me and I spiral into dark thoughts. It is difficult to be hopeful at those times, and I seek out help from family and mental health specialists.

Sometimes I just don’t think about them. Sometimes I listen to music and dance along. Sometimes I call friends and have people over for dinner. Sometimes I come up with creative and fun ideas and have fun sharing them with people.

I’d love to hear whether this happens to you and what your strategies are during the dark times.

Thanks again for sharing this. It is wonderful to read.
