I feel so bad about the past, how can I heal?

I'm constantly thinking about the past and it makes me feel so bad

You need to concentrate on the future and not live in the past. You don't tell us what about your past is bothering you because different things or issues require a different approach.

If it is a relationship issue with either your family, friends or boyfriend/girlfriend, then it would help to talk about your problem with the ones concerned.

If it is something more materialistic or emotional problems such as living in poverty, health issues or being socially excluded, then you should perhaps consult a specialist that could help you go through the necessary steps to get you back on track.

What you should do is to try to put those problems on the backburner and concentrate on the present. You can join a club or take up a hobby, exercise, go to the gym or socialize with people sharing the same interests. Those activities would help you concentrate on the present and progressively forget the past. But you have to want to change otherwise, nothing will ever happen. Good luck.

You're thinking about the past because you have nothing on the go and no potential things on the go in the future. Start doing things

I'm afraid that people will judge me for the mistakes I made in the past.

Everyone makes mistakes. It doesn't matter if you're judged or not.

Ok are these serious mistakes? Like drinking n driving or something? What kind of mistakes?

[Asker]

Can I tell u, if u don't judge 🥺

[Opinion Owner]

You can tell me sure. But honestly people have to make judgements to give better answers. It’s not a judgement in that I’m going to hate you or something like that. I hope that makes sense. Besides your anon so even than I don’t know who you are nor would anymore else.
