Dear Hayward ~ Why are you torturing yourself with guilt and regret??? What good does this do?? I would venture a guess that this "guilt" doesn't even belong to you - that you're feeling guilty about something that is by no means your fault. And regret is like a cancer - it eats at you. You can't change anything by regretting it. You might just as well accept it, and move on with your life.
We have ALL been failures at something. I was a complete failure at my first marriage. I had no business getting married the first time -- I was only 18, and I didn't even HAVE to get married. LOL But I'm not going to regret it. Any time we can learn from something, we shouldn't regret it.
I'm so sorry that you're so sad. Why not talk to your doctor? It sounds like you need an antidepressant to me. There is NO SHAME in needing one - perhaps it's just a temporary need. I've been on an antidepressant for years and years as I'm clinically depressed. Heck, I was depressed as a child. I'll probably be taking one til I drop dead.  Please talk to your doctor -- i'm sure he'll understand and will be helpful. God bless and please take care. We all care about you. Hugs, Lee
