Sometimes a good cry is the best medicine. Im sorry you're feeling like this. I try to remember this.
And one day at a time is the best way, sometimes its just making it hour by hour .. big hugs π€β€

This quote was so perfectly chosen. I spent a lot of time tonight thinking about the total cost of my mistakes, and whether different choices would have cost less, or just been paid out differently.
I know I can't change the past. And I had no way of knowing how the future would play out.
Courage to continue.

I've spent a lot of time, in the last decade particularly, investing in my abilities to communicate. All of it is really geared around what you've identified - not being fully informed in the past, and unable to then accurately forecast the future. It's very en vogue now, to hold people accountable for what they could not have known.
Recently I've found some ways of dealing and communicating that have really helped me detach the emotional aspects of hard choices - I can sleep at night, my brain turns off where it used to never. Even at 50 I'm still learning, long since past the point when any reasonable person would both stop refining that area and not think there was enough juice to be worth the squeeze. But...I am better emotionally for the work, and able to find a peace that has eluded me for five decades. I've never been able to turn off the voices, especially at night, until now. And when I say now, I mean the last couple of months - so recent as to be laughable.
Keep fighting.4 -

I was Sleep Shamed by my alarm this morning. As I am at least 6 days a week. Some days I could use another 4-6 hours of sleep. Not today, I feel amazing today. But some days.3

I'm so embarrassed. I drove my daughter to school this morning and didn't check how much gas I had before leaving. The light came on when I was driving back home, I was wearing a pajama bottom and slippers and had to stop at the gas station like that π³π

I'm laughing so hard right now. Been there π
I probably could have made it home but I was afraid to be stuck on the side of the road. I mean, i suppose it could have been worse. I could have been wearing these...

β€οΈ I did do my best. So many times I felt like I was being forced to try and figure out which path would hurt my loved ones the least, without ever being able to see all the variables. And even with hindsight, I STILL don't know which choices would have been the better ones. I just look at my loved ones and see how much they are hurting now and wish I SOMEHOW could have done better.

Thank you for this. The one good thing, I guess, is that I'm usually so exhausted by the time I get to bed, that I am out cold pretty darn quickly.
As for the rest... I have a ways to go yet. I hope i can get to that place you describe. It sounds like a beautiful place to be. β€οΈ

That happened to me once. I was wearing a red flannel shirt and panda pants that have panda faces all over it. The guy pumping gas behind me looked very amused. Happens to the best of us π4 -

I'm sorry that you are carrying a heavy bar. Good thing you are so strong.
I really feel your posts and some of the responses. I too spend too much time dwelling on the mistakes I have made and the various choices that impacted the path of life. I try to remind myself that I can only try to make the best decision with the information that I have at the time and that I shouldn't focus on what I didn't do or didn't know but that can be hard sometimes. As 5ofseven implied, I try to remind myself it's unfair for me to hold myself accountable for what I didn't know or even not being fully self aware.
So many times, I just wish I could turn my brain off. I wish I had a magic answer for myself and one to share with others. Until then, keep fighting.3
