One thing I have never told anyone is....[finish this sentence}
Just... blurt it out! Don't be nervous! Make your secrets not so secret....
that I never told anyone else but my close friend that I self harmed. I cut but I didn't tell her that. I self harmed in a different way, its hard to explain but I have these drawstring sleeping pants and every night I tie it really tight around my wait it leaves marks. Not the prettiest sight for others to see but to me it gets rid of most of the pain at the moment since my family is not doing so hot.
that I lie to every single one of them
Just about every day I wake up and wish that I was still in high school. I wish this was all just a bad dream. I always tell people that they should never regret anything in life because they wouldn't be where they are in this very moment in life without all the decisions they make. I tell people that I believe in this and that I have no regrets, but the truth is, I regret everything I've done after high school. That's why I want to wake up, so I can start over and do the things I should have done and not the things that I did.
@Mickky480 we are all human. We all make mistakes and bad choices. You can either continue punishing yourself for the errors in judgment you have made or you can choose to take the initial steps of pursuing a better life. Today. At this very moment.

@LOEY61 Hi there! I was scrolling through this thread and I couldn't help but notice all your replies. I know what people share may be surprising to you, but that's slightly the point, to share something that people have no idea about regarding you. Let's treat everyone with respect because they're opening up and being vulnerable here. This is a safe, inclusive environment, and though you hopefully did not intend for your comments to be intrusive or disrespectful, they could appear to come across that way. Let's keep 7 Cups a healthy place together :)
@forcefulPine9278 im in my late thirties, and also feeling very similar. I regret not doing more in high school, going to university, i wish I was a better mum and wife. I feel a bit trapped by anxiety and depression - it feels like a 'blocker' in so many different areas of my life. You are not alone! Drop me a line if you'd like to vent or chat. Good luck and hope you find what you're needing to make you feel more satisfied with where you're at. X
I tried weed a few weeks back, got super baked and chill, and I realized how anxious and depressed I am on a daily basis. I think about it every day :(
