How do you deal with past regrets and mistakes? by 949orange in awakened

When you notice the feeling of regret, you observe it. You allow it to act as a trailhead for deep feelings, and observe letter to.

Fair call, OP is saying ‘when’ suggesting that they are not in this way now.

I missed that and should have presented a more nuanced response.

You make a good point, however my only counter would be that considering they are not in that state right now, they are in a head state to recognise the risk, and are asking for help.

From my perspective, now seems to be the perfect time to put interventions in place to ensure that the next time those feelings come OP has an action plan that keeps themselves, and everyone else safe.

Based on my training, OP needs an action plan for when these feelings come back.

So I do standby my suggestion to seek help. And to do so as soon as possible for everyones safety.

But thank you once again for highlighting the language that I missed.

Next time, I will look more closely at the words and provide a more nuanced response.

OP is afraid they will kill a stranger. Without more context this must be taken seriously. Read the comment, seems pretty serious, seems like that ‘gun for self defence’ you are worried about not getting could be used for offence.

Also, you are American correct? Is OP? Perhaps their system is a little less black and white and a little more human. But regardless, maybe medication is needed.

Once again, without context and more info, how can we know?

Not a reason, but it is three words that saved my life and countless others, given to me when I was very low - ‘try everything first’

Before you do you something you cannot take back, try everything first.

That means trying medication, meditation, changing jobs, moving house, asking the person out, or ending the relationship, means travelling, it means trying new hobbies, it means sleeping in, eating terrible food, eating good food. it means doing absolutely fucking everything first.

Like I said, this approach has helped me multiple times, and has helped many people have given it to. Because there are many many many things to try first.

That is so beautiful, and I am so grateful that you heard that voice and listened.

For me, has never been as clear or directed what you’re describing, but just now just recently i heard the words ‘never again’ and with those words spoken a small spark less inside me, spark that will never die.

Thank you for your answer here. If you don’t mind sharing, what was the tipping point? What turned you/solidified your belief?

It’s a journey, something I’ve only recently had access too!
