Anxiety and overthinking

...See more Hi, lately I've found myself struggling more with this than before. I keep revisiting bad situations, mistakes I made, sad decisions I had to make, and either keep thinking of what I could have done differently, or try to justify my actions because of the way things were at the time, but somehow it feels like I'm kidding myself at the same time because maybe I don't want to admit that I made bad choices. I hoped I would forget things over time, or that they would at least matter less, but everything just piles up and grows instead of going away. Sometimes I think back on things that happened years ago, and it's frustrating that I can't let those go and live in the present. I have learned things from those experiences and strive to do better, but I still wish I could forget the specific scenarios. I'm open to talking to others, at least on here. IRL I feel like I'd be a burden and a pain to listen to for moaning about my problems when others have their own stuff to deal with. I don't have many people to talk to IRL anyway, and somehow writing/texting about it is more comfortable than talking face to face. That might have to do with fear of judgement from family/friends, worrying that someone might agree that I'm the bad guy in all those past instances when it was never my intention to be hurtful or insensitive.
