I'm ashamed of my past self, and anxious that my past mistakes may come back to haunt me

...See more I've made many reprehensible mistakes in my past, and I'm not proud of them. I allowed myself to become a person I'm not, and made plenty of mistakes that are not representative of my character. I am taking steps to put my past behind me, and since doing so, am constantly filled with anxiety. My main fear isn't facing some sort of consequence (which I expect), but mainly facing a consequence that may separate me from the ones I love, and paint me as a person I no longer am. I have opened up to my loved ones, who have been supporting me. But every single day is torment, as I am filled with immense anxiety and guilt, having let them, and myself down, which makes it hard for me eat, sleep, and focus on the things I used to enjoy in my life. I am not a victim. I put myself in this situation, and again, am taking the necessary steps to self reform, which includes posting here. How do I cope with this constant anxiety and fear of the unknown?
