Discussion Your biggest mistake in life?

[torimandy]

When I was deciding to transition I sat in a grove of trees with my gun in my lap. 11 years later I wish I would have pulled the trigger instead of being true to myself

 

[BPD Barbie]

Getting with my current partner.

 

[Isadeth]

I'll keep it short. Trusting people that should have never been trusted.

 

[Deleted member 17949]

I don't think I made mistakes that brought me here, I think I am just unfortunate in having mental problems.

 

[feast or famine]

Trusting people.

 

[Jessica5]

Surviving an illness when I was very young.

 

[waterbottleman]

I've made lots of mistakes, but there's one in particular that stands out because it was the beginning of my journey into depression.

Had a girlfriend once who I absolutely loved, I truly loved and adored her. She broke up with me to get back with her ex boyfriend who raped/abused her before she dated me.

That broke my self esteem and I have never been the same person since then. She completely emasculated me by picking a guy who raped her over a guy who was far from perfect but a good/positive person.

To be born lol

 

[Wayfaerer]

I have one immediate regret (which is why I'm here), and I don't care to divulge, but I have an even greater long-term regret and that is psychiatry. My life would've been so much fucking better if I had not gone...

 

[virtualoctopus]

Being born.

 

[AprilsBlessings]

Forcing myself to fit in where i don't belong

 

[First loss]

Surviving the fetal heartbeat stop I experienced when I was getting born.

 

[Starseedchip]

Being a coward and not running away from my mentally unwell mother when I had the chance. If I had a time machine I would have a shot at being happy.

 

[tsuina]

finding love

 

[Shero]

Being a asshole to my now deceased father, who was the only one who truely tried his best to make me feel better.

I should have never been born, i pretty much ruined his life and contributed to him becoming physically ill.

 

[Nephthys22]

Marrying my gay high school sweet heart, loving him with everything I was and having children with him. I have paid for over 10 years for this and it only continues with no end in sight. I really believe had I not made that stupid choice at 18 years old, I would have been able to have a life that was some what bareable.

 

[Dreamless Sleep]

Marriage.

 

[UnsureWhatToDo]

Constantly telling myself I had to be humble in order to look polite so that I could look like a normal person because in order to get and hold a job, it's not the skills or passion or hardwork put into it, it's being charsmatic and being fake that gets you a job.

 

[idontevenknowanymore]

I've made so many mistakes. I'm 21 now and I've forgotten most of my school years already because of the traumatic things that happened.
I guess the biggest mistake I can remember is not seeking help earlier.

 

[lost guy]

What's yours?

Not marrying the woman I spent 11 years with. She ultimately dumped me 8 months ago because of it. I just let my anxiety keep me from doing it. That is why I'm here. Nothing to live for now.

 

[ZardozOmega]

Dropping out of high school

 

[Taki]

Not killing myself sooner

Ditto

 

[greekyfish10]

i've hurt a lot of people because of things i've said and done. just another reason for me to ctb.

 

[iwantoseeyousoon]

to keep it short, being myself. everything's my fault, and things have gone too far to change. everyone puts up with me, they shouldn't have to

 

[francisgone]

Bringing to this world 2 beautiful and talented boys, raising a smart and beautiful stepdaughter, putting all my pathetic personal trash at their door and not knowing how to live with that now

 

[asdasan]

inviting people I shouldn't have into it

 

[RicRac]

Surviving my first ctb attempt when I was 12.

 

[Dude1983]

The full story is kinda long but basically this girl who approached me and gave me her number actually told me after a week into having frequent text conversations that she was sorry if it seemed like she was leading me on and that she just wanted my friendship because she had just gone through a bad relationship with someone else. I foolishly said that I never felt anything romantic for her because I could tell she was feeling really guilty and was okay with us being friends even though later I started really developing feelings for her. My other main regret is that I was too late to rectify this lie before it was too late and she ended up going out with someone else. She even later told me that if I had initiated a relationship at some point after my initial lie then she would have reciprocated and we'd probably still be together today and I'd probably actually be kind of happy...

Look for another bitch dude, there´s nothing special on her trust me, u can get in love from anyone. I don´t think she cares too much about u if telling u that "it could have been if...". Or just masturbate, u will see u don´t care the same when finished Lmao

I've tried to look for other women but nobody was as close as she was to being so similar to me. We had so much in common and while we were friends we connected and agreed on so many things that I have yet to ever see any one else in the world agree with me to that level. Unfortunately one of the other great aspects of her is that she's also super loyal to whoever she is with so I literally had no chance after it was too late. Even though we were great as friends, eventually it just ate away at my soul too much and I had to cut it off by making her hate me. I don't think I'll ever be so lucky as to ever meet someone like her ever again so I've accepted that I'm just gonna die alone.

I guess, masturbation is fine too but there's only so much content out there of the specific things I'm into and since I don't have the means to produce it myself I'd just have to constantly wait for perfect content to get produced on a daily basis only for something that just doesn't feel the same as mere intimacy with someone I connected in such a deep level with.

 

[Sweet Release]

believing things could get better.

I made that mistake too. The hope kept me going only to get hurt again.

I have one immediate regret (which is why I'm here), and I don't care to divulge, but I have an even greater long-term regret and that is psychiatry. My life would've been so much fucking better if I had not gone...

Lots of other people have made that mistake and had their life ruined as a result.
I'm sorry it happened to you.

Well, without going into detail my biggest mistake was believing I was invincible and could do anything.
Thats what lead to the most horrific reality check in my life.

I hate to say it but sometimes it pays to be afraid.
